First Media Appearance

I'm delighted to announce that I have made it in this world. I'm on Feministing!! This session was filmed at the 2009 symposium Women, Action and the Media and the panel is In/Out of Focus: Gender Non-Conformity and the Media. I have reproduced the video below for your convenience.  In it, I share the stage with Julia Serano, Miriam Perez, Jack Aponte, and Kate Bovich.  The magic starts at 00:08.
