HOLEEEEEY FUCK. DAMN. Didn't expect this this soon. In fact, there was reason to believe that the Petagon was not going to even look at this issue right now. Thank you Caitlyn!

I just came across an interesting resource. It is an ezine, and so far, there has only been a single issue. That issue costs $5, but so far, from reading it, I think that it is worth the money. I don't remember how I ran across it, but you should be able to find it with a web search. It is titled: "Fucking Trans Women", and is primarily directed towards pre-op/ non-op trans women. This is because, apparently, few post-op transwomen replied to the call for submissions.

I watched Caitlyn Jenner's speech on the ESPYS, let's just say it moved me and even my conservative parents to tears!

I think we all could learn a lesson from Cait! Acceptance!

Default Boys Do Cry

Here is an op-ed piece that was in the Advocate, about Transmen being silent about their being survivors of violence.
Boys Do Cry

If you struggle with thoughts of suicide, call: TransLifeLine at (877) 565-8860, or The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255.
