Maybe I should go into research?
I just wanted to let you all know that I am completely rocking this research paper... I'm really proud of it, and I haven't even written it yet. :D
if anyone cares what it's going to be about, my tentative topic is "A comprehensive look at low-income transgender Latinas and HIV risk." Primary issues covered will be the connection between sex work, drug use, chasers, sexual risk behavior, social/cultural/economic discrimination and transphobia,Latin(@) American cultural gender roles, and the abandonment of the middle/upper class LGBGT political movement, among about a million other things I want to cover in a 10 page paper.
I'm really not trying to cover all these things in depth, just trying to focus on the connections and providing an alternative view to the culturally-blind, one-track focus that has typically accompanied trans/HIV issues (i.e. not paying attention to race/ethnicity/class/culture, and looking at linear/causal associations and individual deviance rather than non-linear associations and social/community interdependence)
It's still all really vauge right now, but I know where I want to take it and that's all that matters. I'll figure out more direct ways to communicate it as I write it.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know! :).
