If anyone knows, please give credit where credit is due.) and was guided to the following link: Intersex Infant surgical abuse. PLEASE watch the video. It [...]

Hi Everyone, I have a few very important things (I feel they are at least) to discuss. I would like to bring to your attention of a few new regulations that have been put forth that could have some very disturbing realities for transgender people (Heck, the whole LGBT community for that matter). I’m on [...]

Hi Everyone, As many of you know that follow my blogs, I’ve talked about the support I’ve had from my kids and wife on my transition. Well, a while back I had asked my son if he would mind writing something from his own perspective on the news of me being transgender. He told me [...]

Like any organization, it has struggled to define itself and its purposes in a way that unites, rather than divides, us. Nonetheless, it continues because people see a need to join together. One of AZTA’s current projects is to produce a calendar with [...]

It’s been suggested to me that this would be an appropriate post to cross-post from my blog. For those unfamiliar with great Australian rock bands, the title is a Cold Chisel lyric. Somehow I let this slip by (TD0R is Nov 20) despite the fact that I read some related posts from other bloggers. Given [...]

One section of the show dealt with the different attitudes shown towards couples of various gender combinations. Couples (male and female here refer to their presentation) - one male/female, one male/male and one female/female – staged an argument where one partner was [...]

Hi Everyone, This week has been an up and down week for me. It seems even with history being made in the election of a new President, which I thought would bring more hope to a lot of the nation (except for the ones who voted for McCain of course). It seems to have also [...]

Hello to all the fine readers out there! My question today is about sex drive and transition. For those of you taking HRT, how does transition affect your sex drive? I have to wonder if your existing sex drive before transition has very much to do with how it reacts to the change in hormone [...]

Stillettos and Sneakers – Haggard and God
The amazing transgender actress Alexandra Billings is an even more amazing writer, in my opinion. She presents her opinion in ways that can really make you see complex issues much more clearly and succinctly. I’ve been following her Livejournal for some time now. Today I noticed Alex had posted about Ted Haggard’s appearance on the [...]
