Thinking Through Lesbian and Trans Community with Jem Hodsdon

Social worker, writer, and queer activist Jem Hodsdon talks about the relationship between the lesbian community and the trans community. Jem speaks about how delicate the relationship can be between two oppressed and marginalized groups, and her intention to speak only about her particular experience. A focus on marriage equality can be divisive because it privileges access to marriage, which is not such a priority for the trans-community, for whom basic safety is a larger concern. Jem also talks about how her own identity as a dyke is related to inclusivity and the possibility of variable gender attraction and identification.
