The Mask of Gender

Normally, I'm not one to promote something if I'm in it.  That kind of thing is horribly self-aggrandizing.  So I'll apologize right off for doing that here.

But given the recent focus on trans issues due to the comments made by Rob Anders, I thought it would be a good moment to give average Canadians a chance to get to know a little bit about trans people, and why clear human rights inclusion is necessary.  This is a documentary that was put together last year, and features people in Calgary and the greater Calgary area.  It's called The Mask of Gender (link is to the producer's website):

There's only so much that can be covered in a short 16-minute documentary, of course.

Yes! Only 20,144 to go. :)

I will be glad to do the dishes if I can just find them. They are probably in my kitchen, if I can figure out where I left it. <<goes digging towards the likeliest room>>
