"The End of San Francisco" -- according to Mattilda

Eric Jansen — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:29:43 +0000

Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, the provocative, angry, queer anti-assimilationist writer, is back on Out in the Bay, 7pm Thursday, with her latest ... manifesto? Or memoir? (Even though she’s only 40-ish.) In The End of San Francisco, Mattilda deals with family, incest, gay sex work, the digital ruination of our City by the Bay, political correctness and its stifling effect on activism and even simple conversation, and much more. Join Mattilda and host Eric Jansen for what we hope is, in Mattilda’s words, another “delicious conversation” about life, struggles, triumphs -- ours and the cities we live in.

What role should the government play in protecting trans* people? How far has society come in terms of accepting gender variance? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
