Transgender Bender:
Moving Beyond the Binary System
Until the 1950s in the United States, in a binary system that included only male or female, gender was simply a matter of plumbing. Now gender is more commonly understood to be more complex-and sometimes separate from the body. On this edition, we take a look at a couple navigating their relationship through the crossfire of gender identity, follow one woman's experience of changing her sex, and explore legislation and public education efforts to protect transgender people. - www.radioproject.org
