Gender Spectrum Family Conference: Mentors Wanted

[luckylately.livejournal.com]

Dear everyone in the SF Bay Area!
Gender Spectrum (www.genderspectrum.org) does such good work with transgender children and their families. They're having a conference this September in Berkeley and they're looking for trans women for the kids to look up to. (They have a good number of trans men already .) Also, if you're interested in doing a presentation for providers, they are accepting submissions. Please distribute to your rock star friends and public-speaking people.
Thank you, Lucky

looking for a post...

A while back, there was a post where someone explained why trans people get angry when people want to study us for research projects. I'm trying to find that post to show to a well-intentioned ally who is thinking of doing another one of those trans-themed research projects, but I can't remember who wrote it or how long ago it was posted, and even though I know I posted it in my own LJ, I suck at accurately tagging my posts and so now I can't find it.

Does someone else remember this who might be able to help me find the post I'm thinking of? I don't think it was posted in its entirety in this community, but it may have been linked here and I know others from here were involved in the discussion that arose from that post.

Thanks!
