hi. i've been wanting to join a tg community for a while now. i used to intern for genderpac sometime ago. thats a transgender organization based in nyc. anyway, besides the fact that at the time i had body & sexual identity issues of my own (not gender, but just body image), i also fell hopelessly in love with a post operative mtf. im not sure if we are still together or not. its totally unofficial, but we are both still in love i suppose. planning on getting together in the future. i dont know. that topic makes me sad and frustrated because its not confronted really. my body issues have been somewhat so im feeling better about that.
so i joined because i wanted to. maybe to better understand the woman i love and our relationship, (although her past is not at all our focus any little bit to understand where shes coming from is good), and also to keep up with trans issues.

look what I read.....

I was reading the morning paper last night, sort of caught up late with my morning news. and I read an article on page A16 in the Az republic.
The title read,
Colorado officials balk at calling killing hate crime.

In cortez colorado a transgender Navajo boy was killed on June 16th, because he of his sexual orientation. police did not do anything about the killing either.

this is stupid actually killing a person because of sexual orientation. hate isn't a family value.
Hate basically, is a crime amongst most people.
It is fearful that one person of the GLBT community has lost a life. It does bring rage in ones soul.
But the bad thing is that I can't do anything about it, I wish terribly I could but I can't.

One thinks that its just annoying when people do shit like that.
