Living large and authentic in NYC . Jamie Clayton is what many of us ladies aspire to. She is open and sensual, caring but sure of her own self worth. She lives in full openness as to her identity but does not wish to make it the focal point of her life.
In this New York observer article titled "The Second Most Beautiful Girl in New York" author Spencer Morgan details the struggle that transgender woman must honestly face in relationships and in life.

We in the transgender world have become all to familiar with the heart wrenching sadness as we come to terms with yet another brutal murder of a young woman. But the ordeal is far from over as the media falls over each other in a race to riches at the victims expense only to have the crime forgiven by a judge who allows for another gender panic defense.

Our pain in the faith community is excaberated by our own GLBT churches which seem not to notice or care, but instead feed information to congregations that misleads them or keeps them uninformed.
These reasons are why we transgender people must take full responsibility for our lives. We can examine this young life and learn from her.

Revolution Tsumani sweeps New England HRC gala



Moving across the country like a tsunami of awareness, activists have begun to coalesce into a tidal wave of action growing with intensity and frequency as we cascade onto the ivory towers of social intolerance, ignorance and religious paternalism.

Like the days of our forefathers these riders of the storm brave every element and indecencies hurled at them. The foe, the Mammoth Corporate entity self titled "the human rights campaign" or HRC is the machine of the powerful, reaping millions of dollars a day in tribute to pay for its revisionist domination of the LBTGQI lifestyle and the intense desire it has to exclude the MAGINLIZED, or as known within the privileged circle "THE ALPHABET soup people".

We are the riders, workers, labors, the downtrodden, socialists, outcast transgender, effeminate gay man, masculine woman, feminists , allies, gypsies, artists, singers and dreamers. We are aware that to be still against the unceasing attack of HRC is to parish.

Boston being the next site of the bourgeois extravaganza known as a "Gala Ball" is the current focus of attention Coalition builds for boycott of New England HRC gala

We of the national Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersexed, Asexual, Gender diverse, Questioning and allies will sooth our wounds from battles fouht with the blood and sweat of our comrades in Boston in preparation and anticipation of our turn to once again face this giant.

Dr. Renee Baker's interview of Feleshia Porter MS LPC, in a article about the mystery of coming out, Dallas Edge.com made me pause to reflect, what a gift we have. Felishia Porter who is a Licensed Professional Counselor from Dallas Texas feleshiaporter.com, is a widely known and highly regarded therapist who understands the transgender experience. Both Ms Porter and Ms baker contribute many hours to local non profits, and have dedicated their lives to helping people to better understand ourselves and to appreciate the potentials that lay within.

The process of transition in gender identity involves learning about ourselves It has many twist and turns and even a few very rough roads. Feleshia has the manual so you can fix your mojo should you get a flat and should your battery go out, she will shine a light for you to see the wonder of the coming day.

Her inspiration has saved lost and desperate souls. She makes her life available for all, that we to may witness what is the true splendor of being.

In this we are eternally grateful to you Feleshia Porter.

Ms Porter shared this with me when I first started to see her and I have modified it as my life experences have grown. It is a guide for me and is as valuable today as the first time I read it.
***********************
Deservability
I am deserving. I deserve all good. Not some, not a little, but all good.

I now move past all negative, restricting thoughts.
My expectations are positive.
I release and let go of the limitations of my parents. I love them, and go beyond them. I am not their negative opinions, nor their limiting beliefs.

I acknowledge my parents as human beings. They expressed great love, but as true as in all of us,
they perceived limitations.
I now am attempting to move past preconceptions.

I am not bound by any of the fears or prejudices of the current society I live in. I no longer identify with limitations of any kind.
I wish to free myself of the shackles of shame.

In my mind, I have total freedom. I now move into a space of consciousness, where I am willing to see myself differently. I am willing to create new thoughts about myself and about my life.
My new thinking becomes new experiences.

As each day unfolds, I am rewarded with a reflection of joy.

I now know and affirm that I am at one with the prospering power of the universe. As such, I now prosper in a number of ways.
I now accept my higher power and embrace our oneness.

The totality of possibilities lies before me.
The infinite is being unveiled.

I deserve life, a good life.
I deserve love, an abundance of love. I deserve joy and happiness.
I deserve freedom to be all that I can be. I deserve more than that.
I deserve all good.
The universe is more than willing to manifest my new beliefs. And I accept this abundant life with joy and pleasure and gratitude.
For I am deserving. I accept it, I know it to be true.
Thank you Feleshia Porter
Thank you Rennee Baker

FOX APPOLIGIZES for OFFENDING GAY, LESBIAN, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE

What is the Faux mouthpiece apologizing for?.....


....Purposefully wounding a young impressionable woman, or for being made to say the word GLAAD? It is a step up from the road side ditch of "Laura Ingram and Fox Tv at war (WARbeeaatch)" though.

So I guess taking a hose and washing the faux slime off my boots is better than nothing.

Maybe he is sorry that in fact the pressure that made FOX News apologize is the thousands of emails they receive from bloggers like 'Wheres Jimbo", "Queers United" and "Queers Without Borders" generate by advocating!

WAY TO GO GUYS! (thats a shout out)

And FOX this is a SHOUT DOWN TO YOU. Say hi to Laura Ingram for me while your down there.
