Exposing the Holes: An Annual Pride Show

Pizza Party with Suzy - H.A.G.S.

The month concludes with a pizza party for all 19 guests and for YOU, the listener. Today we are wrapping up and getting advice for the rest of the year, now that pride month is over.  If you're new to the show, this is Exposing the Holes: exposing holes in stereotypes about the 2SLGBTQIA+ stereotypes and each episode features a guest or piece of media that will help expand knowledge of queerness.

Historical Media: Urania (1936)

One last issue of Urania for the road (wiki link [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urania_(journal)]). 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_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 [https://lse-atom.arkivum.net/uploads/r/the-womens-library/a/a/a/aaa407fe538233e09960cda051cee695ae6714f570fb5ec448ef99932d0ddd4f/ca583fc3-1acd-4839-88cd-8f7a2977bfb3-UKLSE_DL1_WR04_003_018_0001_0001.f569b154-3faf-4216-a005-b9c584473934.pdf]). It includes "An Authentic Change of Sex" of Zdeněk Koubek [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zden%C4%9Bk_Koubek], the author Winifred Holtby [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winifred_Holtby], "Jesus Ignored Sex," Dr. Margaret Mead’s Sex and Temperament [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead#Sex_and_Temperament_in_Three_Primitive_Societies_(1935)], women’s suffrage in Japan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_suffrage_in_Japan], and a trans book of essays called Eve’s Sour Apples [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Baty#Eve's_Sour_Apples].
