Images of older trans* people.
Sometimes it seems like all I see "out there" about trans issues, conversations, presentations only applies to folks under the age of 30, or 20 if I'm real about it. It's discouraging. Of course the resources and beginnings of social acknowledgment (nevermind acceptance) are recent seemingly, only in the last decade or so. I don't know if this has been posted already but it's fairly new, a photographer has captured the images and stories of some of the older members of the trans community and complied them on a website "To Survive On This Shore". Advocate published an article about it back in February here. |

IN NYC:
AGING FIERCELY WHILE TRANS with Kate Bornstein, Sheila Cunningham, Miss Major, & Jay Toole Presentations + Community Discussion: 2–4PM Intergenerational Reception: 4–5PM This community, open forum event will bring together trans, genderqueer, and gender nonconforming folks from across generations, along with allies, to discuss and celebrate AGING FIERCELY WHILE TRANS. Amidst ongoing violence and increased visibility for the trans community is the truth of the importance of trans lives. Often missing in conversations between both the great heights of visibility and the epic lows of violence and neglect are trans and gender non-conforming folks who have lived long, storied and rich lives. Presented by Visual AIDS and the NYC Trans Oral History Project, AGING FIERCELY WHILE TRANS is centered around the lives and stories of four gender non-conforming folks who have aged resiliently: Kate Bornstein, Sheila Cunningham, Miss Major, and Jay Toole. The event, moderated by Reina Gossett, is an opportunity to hear experiences, stories, and insights from multiple generations of people from across the gender spectrum. Come and be a part of the conversation. AGING FIERCELY WHILE TRANS is inspired by art, activism, and life of Chloe Dzubilo, who passed away in 2011. Although Chloe is no longer with us, it is clear to those who love her and the organizers of this event that she would be among the growing intergenerational dialogue of trans lives and legacies. AGING FIERCELY WHILE TRANS is coordinated in conjunction with the second publication of Visual AIDS' DUETS series, Che Gossett & Alice O'Malley in Conversation on Chloe Dzubilo (2014), which features a conversation between Che Gossett and Alice O'Malley about the art, activism and life of Chloe Dzubilo. DUETS is a series of publications that pairs artists, activists, writers, and thinkers in dialogues about their creative practices and current social issues around HIV/AIDS. The NYC Trans Oral History Project is a community archive devoted to the collection, preservation and sharing of trans histories. Please be in touch with Alex (afialho@visualaids.org) if you have any special needs in order to attend the event. The building is wheelchair accessible. Participant Biographies KATE BORNSTEIN is a world renowned transgender activist, author, playwright, performance artist, blogger and educator who focus on issues of gender and sexuality. Her books "Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us" and "My Gender Workbook" are essential reading in gender, queer and feminist studies. Kate's books are taught in five languages in over 200 colleges and universities around the world. She lives in New York City with her girlfriend, three cats, two dogs, and one turtle, in whose company she wrote her new memoir, A Queer and Pleasant Danger: The true story of a nice Jewish boy who joins the Church of Scientology, and leaves twelve years later to become the lovely lady she is today. For more info on Kate Bornstein: http://katebornstein.typepad.com/ MISS MAJOR GRIFFIN-GRACY, for over 40 years, has been an activist, instigator, and community organizer. From the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion to her current work with the Transgender GenderVariant Intersex Justice Project, Miss Major has worked tirelessly for social justice and the human rights of transgender women of color. She identifies as a father, mother, grandmother, and grandfather to her own children, and to many in the transgender community. Miss Major has spoken around the world about concerns of transwomen of color in the prison industrial complex. Her life and campaigns are currently the focus of a feature length documentary film, which will be released in 2015. For more information visit http://www.tgijp.org/ and http://www.missmajorfilm.com/ JAY TOOLE is a 67 year-old butch identified (well superbutch identified) lesbian who battled addiction for 37 years, during which time she was homeless for over 25 years, and often lived on and under the streets of NYC and in the NYC shelters. In 1999, she got her GED, she began volunteering with The Coalition for the Homeless as a shelter Monitor. In November of 2000 she left the shelter system for her first ever apartment in her own name. Since 2001 she has graduated from The Resource Training Center to become a alcohol and substance abuse counselor with a award and prize for leadership in education, worked part-time as an out-reach worker to the shelter system on recovery issues at the LGBT Community Center. In 2006 she received the Richard L. Schiegel National Legion of Honor Award for Emerging Activist. In 2011, Jay was honored for her service to the transgender community by the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. She is a Co-Founder of Queers for Economic Justice and was the Shelter Project Director for over 14 years and now is the founder of Jay's House. In 2014 Jay was honored by Camba (one of NYC largest homeless providers) for her continued work to make shelters safer for queer adult homeless.

Trans Men’s Positive Emotions
The Interaction of Gender Identity and Emotion Labels Stephanie L. Budge1 Joe J. Orovecz1 Jayden L. Thai2 1University of Wisconsin–Madison, Madison, WI, USA 2University of Louisville, Louisvillle, KY, USA Stephanie L. Budge, Department of Counseling Psychology, University of Wisconsin–Madison, 1000 Bascom Mall, Room 309, Madison, WI 53706, USA. Email: budge@wisc.edu Abstract The current study used grounded theory methods to analyze trans men’s positive emotions. The sample included 11 participants who were assigned a female sex at birth and currently identify with a binary male identity. Results yielded eight positive emotion themes emerging for trans men, which included the following: confidence, comfort, connection, feeling alive, amazement, pride, happiness, and interpersonal reactionary emotions. Participants reported specific gender experiences within these themes, including a sense of brotherhood, excitement related to taking testosterone, authentic pride in identifying as a man, and happiness connected to others using correct gender language (e.g., pronouns, family labels, greetings). A theoretical model from the eight themes and 39 higher order categories emerged, indicating the importance of initial internal emotions, confidence related to trans men’s identity processes, and the ways in which positive interpersonal interactions affect positive emotions. Implications include using emotion-focused therapy and including more positivity into trans individuals’ experiences and emotions. http://tcp.sagepub.com/content/43/3/404.abstract

This is something I had not seen from about three weeks ago. The New York Times is running a series of pieces apparently (I'll stop back when I find more) so here is a section of transpersons telling their own stories.

There are days that I feel just ridiculously happy since my transition.
Just out of the blue I realize I am happy. I thought to myself...."Is this what real life is like?" You just sort of live and people regard you, experience you, and interact with the real you, as you? It's so flipping easy. Such a new way to live life. The world outside my home is not an anxiety inducing place anymore. Who knew it could be like that? <--- blessed

This is great to hear/read. I've not come across too many posts this positive about transition. I always read about the problems.

THIS:
"Call to remove gender from UK passports and driving licences" This makes so much more sense to me. Instead of all the rigmarole around how to get things changed in this place or that place, simply remove the extraneous. It seems that about 95% of the places it's currently required it's totally irrelevant. My .02 |

I haven't seen anyone post this yet, so I thought this would be a good place for it. I've seen this Nike ad twice now, must see.
YouTube seems a bit overwhelmed at the moment, if you can't see it here, go >here< There is an article about this in Runners World from yesterday. |
