Episode 65 - Gender identity with Ashley Altadonna

In addition to being an accomplished Milwaukee filmmaker, the
lead singer of a band, a sex educator, and an occasional
Milwaukee Record contributor, Ashley Altadonna is an ardent trans
activist. Though we're living in a time of unprecedented
acceptance and consideration of one's gender, America is still
presently wrestling with boycotts and increasingly heated debates
about which bathroom somebody uses. Yet even with that
opposition, the world is changing for the better. But is it
changing fast enough? And what, if anything, can be done to
accelerate society's understanding of gender identity? Altadonna
recently joined host Tyler Maas at the uncharacteristically loud
Milwaukee Record office to discuss America's apparent obsession
with restroom labels, what the "trans" umbrella term covers,
gender confirmation surgery, her work in film, and her own
harrowing experience.
