I've been out of school for about a week now, and one of my projects has been to finish reading Leslie Feinberg's Transgender Warriors. The more I read the more I feel like there isn't much need for this journal, Feinberg has a much better researched and written book than I have. I heartily recommend that everyone read it.

I don't want to be redundant so I may look for those stories that Feinberg doesn't tell, or I may switch to stories of trans people around the world that nobody hears about, or I may come up with something completely different.

Here's a completely different entry. I've always dreamed of being a kick ass martial artist, particularly a kick ass trannie martial artist. On a lark I googled "transgender martial arts" and turned up a few interesting links.
