An interesting episode last night...

I was out for a beer with abbyjanechick, trans_mag and claudiacurio, when in comes none other than CBC Ottawa's Alan Neal!

I had picked up the latest copy of CapX at the door to the place, and I went straight over to him, handed him the Flying Trannys article contained within, (more on that later), and told him that this was what he missed, and quickly gave him a blurb on what we had put together last weekend.

He kept the article.

I intend to follow up with another e-mail sometime today.

As for the article, I find it incredulous that CapX, which is supposed to be THE GLBT newspaper in the Ottawa area, claims they did not know about the TCO swing through Ottawa last weekend, even though they were notified by us, when they have this article right there, fresh off the press! What are they doing...cutting and pasting right off the Internet, without any followup for a local angle? Lazy bastards...

Hi all, I'm here to plug a trans support group I'm helping to start up this fall in the Boston area. Boston Area Trans Support (BATS) is a peer-run support group for young college-age and twentysomething transgender people in the Boston, Massachusetts area. It is inclusive of those who identify as transgender or who are questioning their gender, from MTF to FTM to genderqueer to whatever other gender description you prefer. It is for those who are seeking others of similar age for support in realization of one's gender identity, help with coming-out, transition concerns, and anything else that members wish to bring up. BATS is an LGBTIQ friendly safe space, with confidentiality respected among members. For more information please email Abigail at afran@mit.edu You may also join BATS' Yahoo discussion/email list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boston-area-trans-support

An essay on being trans and the Matrix (yeah, I'm a huge geek)

I wrote this at work because I was kind of bored. I'm no expert or genius or anything, but I was just having some thoughts about things, and I thought I would share them.

I'm new here

Well Hi everyone!

I kind of ignored communities until now, but here I am... so... hello! Anyone care to highlight some of the "advantages" of these livejournal communities? Is it just a central place for everyone to post or more than that?

By the way, I have started a website (http://www.genderfree.net) for all gender identities... you guys should join up (I know I have already spoken to some of you, and you have)! It's growing quickly and is going to become an absolutely wonderful resource and community website!
