Transgender Lessons

I have written recently about trying to compile like minded experiences on my one week old "Trannsnation.com" web site.
As I said in a previous post, I have waded in and made it to Sept 2010-close to four months of content.
As I burned the mid night oil, one big constant was apparent.
The time I wrote about seemed to be an intense period of finding my way in the public eye. Every time I went out was an adventure of learning. I'm interested to discover if future posts are as intense.
If you are beginning to explore your transgender self or are new to the "Condo", you may want to check out this link and this one. At the least you will think "she did what?".
The biggest change I have discovered is how I have changed in regards to my place in the world. I'm much more secure in who I am and I just don't notice if others notice me.  I used to care much more where I fit. Now I know I just do. 
I'm sure the next six months of posts will be interesting!

The UK's First Transgendered Community Magazine Is Out!

"Out" that is to the electronic shelves. The magazine is called "Meta" and is the creation of it's Editor-In-Chief Paris Lees. Pictured on the right.
In the recent past, Lees has made her name as an activist for transgender rights – a member of Trans Media Watch and a freelance journalist for DIVA magazine.

For more on "Meta" :
• META is a unique magazine designed for a wide community of gender variant people. It is written by trans people and their friends for trans people and their friends
• Through in-depth features, community discourse, arts coverage, celebrity interviews, comprehensive event listings, and charitable causes, META is a celebration of diversity
• META is connected to the UK’s exciting trans activism movement and is committed to challenging bigotry
• It is dedicated to promoting positive self esteem and connectivity among trans people, generating creativity, motivation and aspiration through inspiring imagery and positive ethos
In the historic first issue, Vivian Bond, of Kiki and Herb fame, chats about changing personas.

Burning the Midnight Oil

Finally beginning to make a small dent in my new quest to categorize different themes from Cyrsti's Condo and establish them in my new website "Trannsnation.com".
I have been able to publish three solid beginning posts and have three more started which I haven't published as of yet.
To let you know how far I've progressed, I haven't even made it to October of 2010. (The blog went on line the end of May that year)
As I've always tried to say "It's better to look ahead than behind" (Unless you are checking how your jeans fit!)
