In preparation for the International Transgender Day of Rememberance, I have been trying to track down those killed since November 20th, 2005. Here are the names and information I have found thus far. If you know of others to add to this list, or of more information about any of the people listed, please let me know.

Professor Pat Pending* Dilemma

[emmajnation.livejournal.com]

I've been doing on designs for a new project in work which may result in a patent; however, it's been going on for long enough that the initial drawings, descriptions and so on are in my old name, pre transition. If we do apply for a patent, and it gets challenged by our competitors, these documents might have to come out into the open and would be available to them, which is not something I'm happy about.

Does anyone have any thoughts/comments/personal experience about this?

Better Living Through Chemicals

Disjointed but:
1)Odd flood of free-floating emotions.
2)Sore boobs that feel as if all nerves run from them to everywhere.
3)Skin feels better then it ever has (my body feels like it has a whole new range of sense to experience.
4)Possibly psychosomatic, but I keep seeing more traits of woman not man in mirror (maybe I just need a haircut)
5)Bottom line:
Coming up on four months of Spiro, 1.2 of Estraderm and three weeks of Fincar.
In other words, while I may not be biologically female, I am certainly approaching being chemically female.
