I mentioned at the end of November how I'd been thinking for a while about doing an anonymous Trans Ask Me Anything type post on here following the suggestion from a couple of friends. This seems like a good date to do it. I came out as Trans on the 9th of January, 2004. Barely a month later, on the 17th February, I set up my website with the ( Read more... )

It's the Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR) today. For those who don't know, it started in 1999 from a memorial vigil to Rita Hester who was killed in Allston, Massachusetts the previous year. It's now become a worldwide day of remembrance for those who have murdered as a result of transphobia and to bring awareness to the continued violence ( Read more... )

I was catching up on my feeds on Google Reader just now as I do every Sunday. One of the feeds is from the GLAAD blog, all the news and media announcements from GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).

A friend of mine asked if I would help to promote a new project and said it was okay for me to put it on LJ so here it is ( Read more... )

I've been trying to think of something appropriate to write about this for the past few hours and I just can't come up with anything. There are no words really to describe how I feel about the death of so many Transfolk. This year there has been an unprecedented amount and I just keep hoping that the reason the figure has risen so drastically ( Read more... )

I've been busy working on making up a Powerpoint presentation the last few weeks as my boss asked me to make one up for the Transgender Day of Remembrance which is next Friday, November 20th. She's doing a presentation of some kind which I don't think is Trans related but she wanted to acknowledge the date. She asked me to include information ( Read more... )

My last post was done on Friday morning, just before we set off to Vermont so that would be a good place to start this update.
