Speech: Trans Identities and Cultural Politics by Helen Boyd

Description:

Helen Boyd, author of the upcoming She's Not the Man I Married, will speak about how the struggles of trans people focus a new and useful lens on both the issues of gender equality and marriage equality.

The transgender rights movement combines aspects of the feminist and gay movements and sits at the crosshairs of the "one man, one woman" kind of logic that has been encouraging people to vote out of fear.

Boyd's marriage to her trans husband serves as a platform for her to explore the nature of identity, gender, and marriage and the way those very private aspects of a life intersect with very public policy.
