Lambeth Libraries have made the documentary shorts of The Youth and Gender Media Project, an initiative founded by filmmaker Jonathan Skurnik, free to view for library members and invited him to talk on the topic. Skurnik started the project because he wanted children who didn’t conform to ‘gender roles’ to feel valued, the upshot of which is that he was probably the first filmmaker to spread uncritical information about medical and surgical transition for children across North America. He made four films on this subject, as part of the Youth and Gender Media Project, over a ten year period, starting in 2010.

Diageo HQ, as you’d expect, has a real bar on site and the cocktails were high-end, some of the best I’ve ever had in fact. Predictably this led to me being pissed after the second and utterly shitfaced by the eighth. No wonder I laughed so much. It took about three days to dry out. The nicest cocktail was Intersex on the Beach (phnarr), the pornstar martini a close second (too pie-eyed to see how that one got queered name-wise).
