CJSR-FM in Edmonton, AB

Program Title: RVF 2016-2017 - Week 15 Dec 12 to 17 2016
Description: This 28-minute documentary explores gender expression in the Francophone LGBTQ community, with a special focus on how French, as an inherently gendered language, accommodates the need for gender-neutral pronouns for individuals who are trans or non-binary. In this documentary, the nature and importance of pronouns are discussed with Rafiki Dave, a representative from the Landing, an LGBTQ resource center at the University of Alberta. Pierrette Requier, the 6th poet laureate of Edmonton, reflects on the power of language to shape identity and how languages grow with society. And finally, Pier-Maude Lanteigne, a genderfluid student from New Brunswick, shares their story of coming to terms with their gender identity, and the challenges that come with having to express oneself in a gendered language, especially as someone whose identity defies a strict gender binary.
