A book launch of Rupert Raj's forthcoming sociohistorical memoir DANCING THE DIALECTIC: True Tales of A Transgender Trailblazer.

RUPERT RAJ is a trailblazing, Eurasian-Canadian, trans activist and ex-psychotherapist, who transitioned from female to male in 1971 as a transsexual teenager. "Dancing the dialectic" between gender dysphoria and gender euphoria, cynical despair and realistic hope, righteous rage and loving kindness, this Gender Worker tells us all about his lifelong fight for the rights of transgender, intersex and two-spirit people - and his later-life role as a Rainbow Warrior working to free Mother Earth's enslaved farmed animals. He is (co-)editor of "Trans Activism in Canada: A Reader" and "Of Souls & Roles, Of Sex & Gender: A Treasury of Transsexual, Transgenderist & Transvestic Verse from 1967 to 1991."
