Join me, Lee Wind, as I continue the conversation about the English language, American Culture, and gender with Benji, a Gender Queer Activist. For more Gender 101 videos and GLBTQ Teen Culture, Books and Politics, visit my blog, "I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell do I Read?" at http://www.leewind.org
What a cool video!! However things are harder in other languages and cultures. In Portuguese, we don't a word for parent. For parent and father, we use the same word. There are few words in Portuguese that mean a neutral gender... most of the words are male or female. And in Brazilian culture, people haven't ever heard about genderqueer and transgender does not mean the same thing as it means in the USA. Our reality affects so much our way to live a genderqueer life.
