Introduction
Nancy talks about a phone call she received just before going on the air that accused GLAAD of conducting a transphobic "diversity" training for children 12-13 years old at a Boston school. She later found out that GLAAD does NOT conduct trainings of this sort. She contacted Boston-based GLAD, who also do not conduct trainings of this sort. She is continuing to investigate the source of the reported incident.

Minnie Bruce Pratt (www.mbpratt.org), talks about her entry into anti-racist activism inspired by her youth in the segregated south, and the connection between her transgender activism and ant-racist activism. She talks about how genetics show racial and gender differences to be much smaller than other differences that occur between individuals, and how the gender and racial categories that our culture enforces are in fact the most superficial of differences among people. She also talks about the upcoming event in New York City in support of anti-racism as personnified by the case of Mumia Abu Jamal. Youcan find out more about this event from www.mumia2000.org or, for tickets, www.leftbooks.com.
