Trans* Images in Pop Culture: The Oscars Edition; with Gender Therapist Dara Hoffman-Fox, LPC

Gender Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and blogger Dara Hoffman-Fox joins Debonee to continue the conversation on images of trans* people in pop culture.  We'll explore film, television and journalism to understand how transgender people are portayed, and the public reaction.  In this "Oscar Edition", they look at Ellen's Liza Minelli joke, and Jared Leto's win for "Dallas Buyer's Club".  Who is qualified to play transgender roles?  Is art responsible for changing culture?  What is the places of gender identity within stories?  They even mess with Texas - and that's just the beginning...

With a shout out to Eleven Jessica Groothuis, they look at Silence of the Lambs, The Fosters, Glee, Katie Couric, Carmen Carrera, LaVerne Cox, Janet Mock, Piers Morgan... it's all here!
