Down to Business

So because I'm absent minded I have some delayed info for everyone.

Here, in Spokane there is going to be a youth conference next month for LGBTQ youth ages 14-21 that is completely free. Under the cut is the blurb directly from Odyssey Youth Center's page and the link to register. If you have any questions that can't be answered by the OYC page feel free to go head and ask me.

( Canference Info )

On to the real reason I came to post for....

So as most people do/are doing I am scrambling around trying to figure out how to fund my transition. Well last Friday I dug through the outrageous thoughts and options in my head and came up with this.....

The very first Transgender Take Over of the TransAmerican Trail. I know the name needs some work but, that can come later. Basically it's a bunch of trans people biking across the US. The way you would raise money is getting people to sponsor you by the mile. I know it's crazy, but it was an idea. I am going to do it whether or not I can get a group together or not, just cuz I have always wanted to and I have people who have committed to sponsoring me. I just thought I would share the idea. It could be a yearly thing and who knows what will happen. I'm thinking of starting next year in May and going until I'm done. The route starts in Astoria, OR and ends in somewhere in VA. I figure that people don't want to go the entire distance, they could join in at any point. I found the route on the Adventure Cyclists Association website. I'd be willing to be a big head planner if people were interested in actually doing it. It would be nice to have another depending on how many people are actually interested. I guess I just want to know what everyone thinks of this idea and if anyone would be interested.

Liberty Conference - Anyone going?

Was curious if anyone on here was going to the Transgender 2009 - Liberty Conference in Philadelphia next week?

I've heard a lot of people make mention of going/participating in the Philadelphia Trans-Health conference in June, but little to nothing from people regarding Liberty Conference.

I went to Liberty conference two years ago for one day and had a good time, and decided to try doing the entire event + social activities this year, and my partner is going with me. We live moderately near philly, but decided to make it a mini-vacation and stay at the hotel. We're hoping to maybe make some new friends while we're there.

Any other Pennsylvania locals going? (Or non PA folks too!).

Transgender Conference is Killing our Culture?
February 15th, 2008

I am sickened by the casual way in which the right wing media spew forth hatred of homosexuals. Here is the latest call to action from GLAAD referring to a disturbing exchange on “The O’Reilly Factor:”
( And here's the latest )

Conference for college/university GLBTQIA groups?

2006-01-25T01:54:00Z

I recently found out about a conference all about general programming on college campuses where students from all over the US from different colleges come to hear and see potential speakers and programs.

Is there a conference like that specifically for GLBTQIA college groups as opposed to just "generic" college programming groups?

Does know of something comparable to that?
