2nd International Congress on Sex & Gender Issues

June 19 - 22, 1997 The Park Ridge at Valley Forge, (King of Prussia, Pa.)

The Second International Congress On Sex & Gender Issues was co-sponsored by the Human Sexuality Program in the Graduate Department of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, and The Renaissance Education Assoc., Inc. The Center for Sex Research at the California State University at Northridge (CSUN) organizer of the first Congress endorsed the second congress.

The Congress was held at the Park Ridge Hotel in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania beginning on Thursday evening, June 19, with a Welcome Cocktail Reception at the Hotel, which featured the foods of Philadelphia; soft pretzels, cheesesteak sandwiches, water ice and hoagies.

Friday's Plenary speaker was Kate Bornstein, author, actor and transgender outlaw. Saturday's Plenary speaker was Professor Doctor Louis Gooren of the Netherlands. He did a presentation on his research into the similarities between the brains of MtF transsexuals and women. Sunday's Plenary speaker was Dr. Stephen Levine presenting the new DSM. The session was lively, to say the least.

The Saturday night Renaissance 10th Anniversary Banquet was well attended and a splendid time was had by one and all.

The exhibit 75 Years of the Institute for Sexual Science, produced by The Magnus Hirschfeld Gesellschaft e.V was on display for the entire weekend.
