In Coming out to my parents news

[perttu-kitty.livejournal.com]

So my parents figured out that my hormones are not through a doctor right now and they are adamant that stop until i can get them through a doctor. Now i know what some of you are saying and yes i stop until i can going through a doctor but it's not that easy. If i stop, there will be massive bad physical and mental side effects and i'm scared. I don't want the hot flashes, mood swings, massively increased sex drive, acne break outs, breast reduction, and worst of all random errections. *blush*

This is going to be a long couple of weeks. but i have to be strong. I can't give in, i know this is right and i can't let anything get in my way.

Love,
Lilly A. Noodle

2006 MELBOURNE TRANNY AWARDS: NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN (x-posted, sorry!)

[theorybitch.livejournal.com]

From the Gender Project:

Nominations are now open for Melbourne's first annual Trans Revolutionary Achievement and Non-Achievement Awards (TRAANAA), otherwise known as the Trannys.

We call for nominations of

• local community organisations
• bureaucratic institutions
• community leaders
• films
• events
• performers
• health professionals
• random personal moments of revelation
• people we love, or love to hate

The Trannys are about celebrating the joys and difficulties of trans/queer existence with a dash of glamour, an ounce of piss-taking, and the serious need to out the crappy transphobic institutions that make our lives hell. We challenge the conservatism of the pink champagne circuit, where the same 'community leaders' parade around, year after dull year. We challenge the skewed representations of the queer media, for whom the latest Anthony Callea single is more important than trans and queer people living with poverty, discrimination and violence. We challenge the fallacy that there is a GLBTQI community in which we are all equal.
