My colleague Russell Thomas has asked me to participate in a series of lunchtime discussions that he is running at his Bristol cafe, Ground and Burst. I’m doing one this Friday (17th), the title of which will be Gender Identity around the World. Basically I’m going to be talking for a while about what I know about different cultural ideas about transness, and with any luck some people from other cultures will turn up to tell me what they know. I’m certainly hoping to learn a lot.

The discussion will be from 1:00pm to 1:45 at Ground & Burst, 138 Lower Ashley Rd, Easton, Bristol, BS5 0YL. There is a Facebook event here. And here’s Russell tweeting about his schedule.

Hopefully I will see one or two of you there.
