soulforce Q (the rockin' youth activist group that brought the world equality ride, right to serve, right to marry, and seven straight nights campaigns) has a practical (and fun?) way to speak out and educate others about the importance of EVERYONE in the LGBTQ... spectrum being included in ENDA.

hold a "SILENT T PARTY." ( details behind the cut )

send info, photos, stories and links to media from your SILENT T PARTY to silentTparty@gmail.com and we'll upload them for all to see in the calendar/pictures/blog section of the myspace page.

so im an aunt......or an uncle.... or...what am i

[divergently.livejournal.com]

my brother had a baby girl and noone has any idea what i am. i dont either. we're worried to say aunt now since i'm so lost in the middle of things and we dont want to confuse her growing up. really rather not use uncle because well i hate that. and yea aunt is just weird with my family. whenever they say sister or use female pronouns i freak. i dunno why. i just do.

so what's a gender neutral name that my niece will be able to call me growing up? i mean hopefully i'll be leaning more towards one side of the gender spectrum by the time she can speak but still.

help me?

hola

Suggestions

I dont typically like to post any information on HRT, because im a firm believer in medical consulation and assistance in HRT for transgender individuals.  I do have a question though for my friends on here.  I recently began transdermal in combination with my typical regime.  I started the trandermal this week (estraderm tts) to be exact, but I cant seem to keep them on.  Any girls have any experience with transdermals and any suggestions.  If they are not stayin on, ill have to go back to my old regime, of only oral, this is almost too much work (or im just not used to them).  Thanks ya'all.

Here's a horribly dumb article: The Transgender Fiasco. And here's my friend's hilarious sendup of it.

If you ask me he gets it just right on TG stuff which is pretty cool for being non-TG.Down with divide and conquer!
