b'Keffy Kehrli joins Brandon, Mary, and Howard in front of a live audience at WorldCon 69 in Reno. He\'s a Writers of the Future winner, a few votes short of being a Campbell Award nominee, and a female-to-male transsexual.
\\n
\\nMary leads us into this discussion, starting with how gender roles and gender identity lie along a continuum, defying the convenient descriptors that people typically employ, and how this can inform our writing. Keffy offers valuable tips, talking about what gets done wrong, and how to write it correctly.
\\n
\\nWe also talk about how this can apply to world-building, especially in fantasy where extended gender identities usually are not a consideration.
\\n
\\nAudiobook Pick-of-the-Week: The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch, narrated by Michael Page
\\n
\\nWriting Prompt: Take something that you do, something unique to you (and perhaps to your gender), and hand it to somebody in your book who appears unqualified for that task. Then qualify them for it.
