[gendercrash.livejournal.com]

Please forward widely!

Hello All,

The first official planning meeting for Trans Day of Remembrance 2006 is Sunday September 24 at 3pm at AIDS Action. We'll start planning for 7th annual Boston TDOR, which falls on Sunday November 19th this year. This is a community planned event, so please come help. No prior event planning experience needed.

If you're interested in be involved with who's on the program, where the event is located, advertising, and/or any aspect of this fabulous event, please come out. Last year we had 200+ people, and this year we're hoping to make it even bigger.

AIDS Action Location:
We're where School St runs into Washington St., X from Borders Books, Downtown Crossing or Financial District, depending on your Boston roots. 5th floor.
Doorbell (same dark brown as the paint around it - brilliant thinking - is at upper right at 6 feet or so on the right, on the wood around the glass doors.)
Usually, they're late though, but if doors are locked you buzz, they let you in, come to 5th floor.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at evanflux@yahoo.com

cheers,
evan hempel

Coming out at work...

Deciding how and when to come out at work is not an easy decision, so I decided to test the waters on an individual basis.  I feel like I am a sniper in some remote jungle, picking my targets very selectively.  I selected one woman today that I work with because after studying my target for some time, I felt the moment was right to strike.  Without even the slightest hesitation I spilled my guts...her reaction?  Tears began to well up in her eyes.  She began to tell me how terrible she felt that I kept this bottled up inside for so long.  She showed me nothing but understanding, love and compassion...she is a true friend.  While I have many more people I will be coming out to in the future, I am glad that this experience was so positive.

That is all for now.  At the moment, I am just very excited and still in shock.  I hope I will be able to post more positive experiences in the future.

Thinking of Changing Therapists

[divergently.livejournal.com]

So I thought my therapist was pretty good after my first couple of sessions because I've never really had therapy before and didn't know what was going on. Now the more I talk to her, the more I'm picking up on things that drive me crazy about her. I have a "phobia" if you will with doctors/therapists/etc because I know they don't actually care about you but only care about the money. So I rarely (and I mean very rarely) actually see a doctor or whatever so maybe it's just this phobia.
