by Miya Yamanouchi Take it step-by-step: One trans woman's advice on transitioningI met 67-year-old Khristie Leigh Kennison when I was staying at a rural bed and breakfast in the country with my boyfriend. She was also staying there and we got to talking. Khristie then began to speak about being transgender. The next weekend we returned and I asked her if she would be interested in being interviewed for International Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31). She was delighted at the opportunity to finally be able to share her unique and courageous journey as a male-to-female transgender person.

May not be suitable for all readers, and may also trigger strong emotional response Transgender Day of Remembrance: Those We've Lost in 2013 A look back at a few of the transgender men and women who have been slain this year. BY Advocate.com Editors | November 20 2013 6:10 AM ET "Transgender Day of Rememberance was established in 1999 to memorialize Rita Hester, a trans woman who was brutally murdered the year before. Her murder remains unsolved, as do many of the crimes committed against transgender and gender-nonconforming people. This year, sadly, is no different, as the official website reports that hundreds of transgender people were slain in the world …

I just learned about TDOR a few weeks ago, and the people in the LGBT group at my college including myself are participating. I believe we intend to do a candlelit vigil. One candle for each person who died since TDOR last year. It will be on our campus from like 6:30-9:00 on November 20th. Since i just learned about this i have no idea what these events are like or how many people show, but i am hoping quite a few students and other people in the area come by.

San Francisco Pride 2011 My partner and I attended the 41st annual San Francisco pride events this past weekend (6/25 and 6/26/11). I've never seen such huge crowds of people in my life! Estimates seem to vary regarding attendance with 500,000 on the low end to over 1,000,000 on the higher end. I would guess the higher end is perhaps more accurate. There are LGBT Pride parties all over the city including a transgender party and parade that was held on 6/24/11. Throughout the weekend, there are breakout parties all over the city, culminating in the Pride Parade on Sunday. Afterward, there is a huge celebration at the Civic Center. Although the crowds are enormous, the e…

My daughter and I are premiering her first play at the Edinburgh Festival in august. It's about a beautiful person we know in Indiana who is transgender. Our actor needs help with creating his feminine persona - make up and walking in heels (just low ones). If anyone in London would be willing to help with the makeover this week/next week then in return, apart from being very grateful, we'd either give you credit in our programme and on our website and give you one of our gorgeous show t-shirts, or if you want we can put an ad for your business into our programme.

Transgender Day of Remembrance TDoR Events and Locations 2013: http://www.transgenderdor.org/

Hi all, On September 7-9, 2017 in Philadelphia they are holding the 16th Annual Trans Health Conference. I attended for the first time last year, but it was well worth the trip (from NYC, so not the longest of trips, but still). I did the general admission last year (which is free), and it was worth the time. This year I'm doing the professional track (which was $85 for a student), so I have a lot more options of presentations. There are 2 professionals with whom I've worked who are doing presentations (the person I went to for voice training, and the surgeon who did my GCS). Marci Bowers is also doing a couple of presentations. I'd strongly recommend it for anyone who c…
