Join Dr. Aaron Devor, Chair in Transgender Studies (University of Victoria), in a conversation about Leslie Feinberg (Stone Butch Blues), Rupert Raj, Reed Erickson, and how their histories come together in a single 1982 issue of Metamorphosis, a newsletter for trans men, published in Canada in the 1980s.
This conversation brings an under taught history to the forefront of current discussions surrounding pronouns, trans identity, and the LGBTQ2S+ community that can be helpful for students in historicizing the present.
We also spoke about: Stone Butch Blues (English free PDF) (French free PDF)
