Ooops!

I went over the last post about emails and Gender Proud and it occurred to me I wrote a phrase which came out different than I wanted.  While I know, that isn't too rare for me, this one bothered me.

When I was writing about how many emails I receive, it seemed to me as it sounded as if I was flooded with personal emails and questions-which just isn't true.

What I was talking about was the number of different emails I get which direct me to transgender and transsexual news.  Sort of like a Cyrsti's Condo news desk.

I just wanted to clear all of that up and at the same time encourage any of you who may have a comment or question, to please send it to me.

Thanks!

Gender Proud

I get tons of emails and most aren't spam, so every once in a while I get a little backed up on what I'm reading and being able to pass along to you here in Cyrsti's Condo.

Here is another I was extremely impressed with for a number of reasons.  The first of course was the name Gender Proud and activist, model Geena Rocero - the Founder of Gender Proud, a movement that aims to change the global perception of and conversation about transgender individuals. She is another literate, well spoken, beautiful transgender woman who is taking the time and effort to stand up and speak out. I am going to pass along her video, as well as this link for you to take a look.

TransMilitary Documentary Coming

To mark International Transgender Day of Visibility on Monday, the producers of TransMilitary, a documentary centered around the lives of transgender service members in the U.S. and U.K., released a new trailer. TransMilitary is being led by former OutServe/SLDN executives Allyson Robinson and Zeke Stokes in an effort to shed light on the transgender military experience, and to apply pressure on the U.S. government to end the ban on transgender military personnel. Check out the trailer here on the Cyrsti's Condo big screen: It's strong!!!!!!!!!!
