Tempest DuJour – Panelist
The Delicate Flower of the Desert, Tempest Dujour took Season 7 of RuPaulās Drag Race by storm with her larger than life persona and campy style. A professor at the University of Arizona by day, Tempest is the oldest and tallest contestant to ever appear on RuPaulās Drag Race. Tempest is the hostess of the wildly popular Retro Game Show Night and Honeybaked Glam shows in her home state of Arizona and can be seen internationally performing and hosting in a variety of venues. When not performing she can be found back at Maison DuJour tending her flock of show chickens with her husband and two children.
Thanks to Stephanie Hsu of Pace University for citing my work in a criticism of the DSM-V that appeared in the Journal of Medical Humanities!
ā’Autogynephilia’ is a sex-fueled mental illness made up by Ray Blanchard,ā trans activist Andrea James has declared (2004), but Blanchard’s own best defense has been that āthe study of autogynephilia is, more than anything else, the study of what people say about their experiences (2005).

Activist Charlie Craggs brings together a collection of heartfelt letters from celebrated trans women, including Andrea James, Isis King, Laura Jane Grace, and Emily Brothers, addressed to those who areĀ transitioning.
‘Living Things’ is now free to watch as part of an Amazon Prime subscription.
Rhona, a yoga instructor committed to a vegan lifestyle, must entertain Leo, her red meat-loving, blue collar father-in-law, as she waits for her husband to join them for dinner. When Leo attempts to apologize for a past insult, he instead opens up a debate that challenges her belief system. Their conversation quickly escalates into a heated argument that scrutinizes animal cruelty, climate change, health, morality, and spirituality. Endorsed by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and reminiscent of the classic film My Dinner With Andre, Living Things presents a compelling dialogue about humanity and the benefits of a healthier, environmentally-conscious lifestyle.
My friend Danielle envisioned a place where trans people could share anonymous verified reviews of their experiences receiving trans-related healthcare and other services. I’m pleased to announce that her dream is now reality!
On this trans* review platform, everyone who has ever had a treatment in the context of their transition can leave a review about the treatment and about the person who carried it out. The goal is to create a virtual library of specialists in hormone treatment, surgery, voice therapy, mental health care, ā¦ you name it! This way you will be able to find the practitioner that will best meet your needs for any treatment in any chosen region, within the transgender community.
Please join me in supporting Limerence, a lovely new project by some of my Atlanta collaborators on Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps!
Park Englehart, an imaginative 10 year old with a heroic vision of herself, is in love with Nia, her best friends older sister. Ā Park takes a leap and writes Nia a sentimental love note, unfortunately the school bully, TJ, also has a love note for Nia.
When Nia receives the two very different notes at school her world falls apart and Parkās attempt at love ends in devistation and Park is called to the principal’s office. Ā Her actions are met with with rejection from Nia, the kids at school and her mother.
Faced with the realization of gender norms and her mom’s disappointment, Park is ashamed Ā and sinks into a deep depression.
Seemingly alone, Park is visited by a vision of her older self in the form of a mysterious motorcyclist and has to decide if she will remain true to herself or crumble under her broken heart.
Join us at Atlanta’s 7 Stages Theatre for two different shows August 18 and 25.
It has been 10 years since Scott Turner Schofieldās one man show had its World Premiere and sold out 7 Stages for weeks. Since then, the show has toured the world to rave reviews, and Scott moved to Hollywood to act in a soap opera and become not just a man, but a movie star.
