Question of the Week
"I need credible information on the use of these compounds for male feminization, specifically, Black Cohosh and Blessed Thistle. The only thing I can find is that these compounds would have to be consumed in almost toxic amounts to have an effect. The reason I am asking is because I suspect that my ex-fiance, who has a history of heart problems may be using them. He is 45 years old and has had two heart attacks, 6 by-passes, still smokes, and has just recently started dealing with his being transsexual. This "supplement" also says it contains "raw mammary concentrate", which I haven�t a clue what that is. I have some very strong concerns for his health."

One of our listeners took exception to the depictions on GenderTalk of Wal-Mart as an exploitive, uncaring employer, so we asked her to join us to tell our listeners why. Larissa Sneider, who has worked for many years as a manager at Wal-Mart, tells us of their unwavering support for her gender transition in the workplace.

The truth is, of course, that some jobs pose greater challenges to gender transition than others. Fire fighting, a profession dominated by males, is one such. Alishia Oulette, member of the Danvers, Massachusetts Fire Department, talks with us about her much-publicized transition on the job there two years ago. She also helps us out with a few fire safety tips!
