Trans-Health Conference wrap-up

May 31st, 2008

I just got back from the Trans-Health Conference in Philadelphia, and what an uplifting experience! Because I deal so much with the nasty negative people who want to crush our children’s spirits, it was just amazing to see so many supportive families and their trans children.

Below: one of the many beautiful art projects created by the children.

From 2008 miscellany

TransYouth Family Allies had our board meeting there, and I got to meet all kinds of people I have never met in person but whose work I have known for years. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and share kind words about my work while I was at the TYFA table!

Whenever possible, I go out at sunset to get a photo. Here’s another typical LA sunset with palm trees and phone lines.

Why I won’t post much this week

May 27th, 2008

I’ll be leaving Wednesday morning for the Philadelphia Trans-Health Conference:

This conference will bring together transgender and gender-variant people, partners, allies, and healthcare providers for three days of workshops, keynotes, discussion, and networking. Because quality accessible, respectful healthcare is linked to self-determining our bodies and identities in a larger world, this conference seeks to explore themes related to enjoying rich, full lives, and building movements and communities for justice.

If you plan to attend, come say hi to me at the TYFA booth or at any session or event!

I liked how the dying flower above kind of looked like a hand picking the one in full bloom.

A butterfly that fluttered by and so opened the shutter, I.
