Question of the Week
"I'm a UK transgirl and have been living full time for 4 years now, since I was 16. As with most transpeople, I'm concerned with passing very strongly. One Issue I particularly have is 'that bulge' that is ever-present. I have heard of a technique several times called 'tucking'- which from what I've heard involves pushing the testicles into an abdominal cavity. Personally I have had no success with this technique as of yet, and have only been met with pain. Does this technique really exist? Or is it simply a malicious rumor spread by bigots in order to get transwomen to injure themselves? (haha). If it truly does exist, is it accessible by all transwomen or just some? Many thanks!"

The biological science of diversity is a fertile ground for debate, and we find ourselves locking horns with our first guest this week. Dr. Olive Skene Johnson, a retired neuro-psychologist in Vancouver, talks about her recently published book, The Sexual Spectrum: Exploring Human Diversity. She discusses having two gay sons, gay marriage in general, differences in diversity acceptance in different nations, and more, but it is on the subject of biology that she finds herself at odds with the GenderTalk crew.
