Hi All,
I mentioned last week that my good friend and ex (a transman) will be blogging about his experiences in jail. The first entry was posted today.

I have to say, I think of the OP community as really warm and supportive, but there have so far been some dumb assumptions and less-then-supportive comments which are upsetting to me. Not sure what my role is in this because I want Inmate 12004 to be able to respond himself but it's so hard not to jump in and just say "dammit, be nice." sigh. I guess I'm just feeling protective of him since I know he's in a vulnerable position. Anyway, I think the blog and the comment thread are worth reading.
lots of love to this warm supportive community,
a somewhat saddened ladyface
