TECHNO-FEMINIST UTOPIA: New Youtube TV Series!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Feministing community!

I am writing to let you know about a new Youtube TV series I have co-authored with my friend, Gianna Love, called “Techno-Feminist Utopia.” We will be regularly updating with episodes spanning the gamut of issues in feminism which interest us. Note: some content may be graphic and/or triggering.

In our first episode, Gianna and I discuss whether the pressure which male-to-female transsexuals face to “pass” as hyperfeminine women can cause them to idealize an identity (as housewife or sex kitten) which is psychologically oppressive, and sometimes physically unhealthy or life-threatening — the same way many women do.

Next week we will be meeting with Gianna’s trans-mother, Ms. Apple Love, who has been doing drag performances since it was illegal for a male-born person to be out in public wearing clothing of the “opposite sex.” We are going to interview her about the change in rights and conditions for trans people that she has seen since that time period. And hopefully, drink peppermint milkshakes.
