Moving trans* history forward symposium
Left to Right: Ariadne Kane, Viviane Namaste, Susan Styker. Photo by Dr. Aaron Devor. You can never go wrong when you hang out with Ms. Bob Davis. Seriously. Ms. Bob is professor at City College of San Francisco and a serious collector of trans literature. She’s a multi-talented woman, with two of those talents being music and writing. I know her writing well—it has appeared, among other places, in Lady Like, Transgender Community News, and Transgender Tapestry, and on TG Forum. She once wrote a great comprehensive piece on the history of Female Mimics magazine which I published in the newsletter of the National Transgender Library & Archive. “Work that sweater, Ms. Bob!” I learned about Ms. Bob’s musical talents only last week. They are considerable. She once owned a recording studio, has worked as a sound designer, and taught music at three universities! I was happy to spend time
