Every week on BBC Radio 4 there are snippets of recorded conversations.

This weeks one is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b054pfn5

The item that caught my interest was about Gender Identity (the 2nd of 3 items in the prog). Are you Mr, Ms, Miss or what when you are living in a gender other than the one you were both with. (Gender Queer in the item).

The full length conversations are submitted to the British Library. http://sounds.bl.uk. This is a really (IMHO) interesting project.

The prog can also be downloaded from http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/bbclp

One line from the prog that caught my ear was the comment 'What bathroom do I use today?" the two Gender Queer women taking part in the conversation laughed.
