One last issue of Urania for the road (wiki link). This feminist journal was published from 1919 to 1940 and is composed of poems, news clippings, opinions, announcements, and letters related to the issue of a "sex binary" in science, society, and culture. I am so thankful I came across this journal and I think it is important to let queer history inform our present-day conversations. This week I am reading Issue Nos. 115 & 116, January-April 1936 (pdf). It includes "An Authentic Change of Sex" of Zdeněk Koubek, the author Winifred Holtby, "Jesus Ignored Sex," Dr. Margaret Mead’s Sex and Temperament, women’s suffrage in Japan, and a trans book of essays called Eve’s Sour Apples.All events mentioned are pulled directly from the QBurgh calendar.Please consider making a donation to SisTers PGH, a BLACK and TRANS-led nonprofit organization that serves the Transgender community of Southwestern Pennsylvania.Electronic Donations can be sent to:PayPal.me/SisTersPGHCashApp: $isTersPGHVenmo: SisTers-PGHYou can find all other links for Nermer Nermer Network at linktr.ee/nermernermer, including the Feedback Form and links to other shows on the network including our movie watching show The Ole Switcheroo!

Today's episode is another installment of the publication Urania (wiki link). It was a feminist journal published from 1919 to 1940 focused on providing evidence of equality between sexes by eradicating the binary sex system. I find it to be a startling presentation of concepts that are still considered radical in modern day projected onto stories that are distinctly 100 years old.  This week I am reading the double issue Nos. 79 & 80 , January-April 1930 (pdf). It includes "Marriage is Taboo" about the Guangdong Province, and a story about Ryōkan. The story I removed was "Synthetic Religion" (which is anti-semitic Nazi doctrine by Ernst Graf zu Reventlow).All events mentioned are pulled directly from the QBurgh calendar.Please consider making a donation to SisTers PGH, a BLACK and TRANS-led nonprofit organization that serves the Transgender community of Southwestern Pennsylvania.Electronic Donations can be sent to:PayPal.me/SisTersPGHCashApp: $isTersPGHVenmo: SisTers-PGHYou can find all other links for Nermer Nermer Network at linktr.ee/nermernermer, including the Feedback Form and links to other shows on the network including our movie watching show The Ole Switcheroo!

Today, another issue from the feminist journal Urania (wiki link, published from 1919-1940).

WELCOME to the audio pride event you've been waiting for. This is Pittsburgh's own 2SLGBTQIA+ podcast, exposing the holes in stereotypes about the 2SLGBTQIA+ community since 2024. It is by and for the queer people of Pittsburgh. This month has 30 episodes in the queue, one for every day of the month for maximum gay. Every episode is hosted by local comedian Suzy and many of the episodes have a special guest, people with information to share through a queer lens or characters thriving in a gay world.  The opening soundscape is by Aemyn and I found it on freesound.org (a highly trusted resource for free sounds!).All events mentioned are pulled directly from the QBurgh calendar.Please consider making a donation to SisTers PGH, a BLACK and TRANS-led nonprofit organization that serves the Transgender community of Southwestern Pennsylvania.Electronic donations can be sent to:PayPal.me/SisTersPGHCashApp: $isTersPGHVenmo: SisTers-PGHIf you are a young LGBTQ+ person in crisis, you can contact the Trevor Project for support by texting START to 678-678.
