Jillian T. Weiss The Day After: Where Are We On ENDA?

The National Equality March is over, and here we are waking up on a long holiday weekend. Now what? What next? Our next step in our federal agenda should be focusing on ENDA in the Senate. Of all our initiatives, that will affect the largest number of people in our community in the most important area of our lives: the ability to get and keep a job. And it's achievable in the next few months. The House is practically on board, and the vote will happen in the next few weeks. My calculations, as… Continue

Transgender people face pervasive discrimination, harassment and violence.

Lincoln Builds Insurance Debate

I have heard that that publicly funded Individual health insurance might not cover things like gender change procedures. In fact, I have heard recommendations that if you are considering something like that now, you may want to secure some Temporary insurance before the change goes into affect. Can anyone confirm this?

Megan Hunter Is Anyone In Los Angeles?

Hello everyone, my name's Megan and I just heard about the site. Like so many here I am recently unemployed and hoping to find a new position as soon as possible, with someone where the fact that I'm transgendered won't be an issue. Despite California having a great many of protections against discrimination, we all know how often they're ignored and how hard that bigotry is to challenge. And while I much prefer to try and hide my status, the employment background check will definitely out me in… Continue

Paula Angel Transgender Songwriter

When I began songwriting, I pretty much wrote songs in a female's point of view. It was more comfortable for me to write that way than trying to write in a way a guy would write. I knew since I was 5 that I should have been born female. But I grew up in a town called Indio, which is located 15+ miles from Palm Springs, and Indio was more of a macho, conservative, latino town that didn't have many LGBT people living there. We pretty much migrated to Palm Springs, or better, to San Francisco just… Continue

Shauna Baggett Thankful for waking another day

Transitioning is a very hard on people, it takes its toll on your mind, body and financial mishaps but I am thankful that I have chosen to do so, why you may be asking? Well for me it is right not alignment but because I want me to be happy. Oh I could stay the male in me and make it but the woman in me wants to be free to do as she wishes and not feel like she has to hide. Hide from what, well from people who do not understand what it is like to be in my shoes, speaking of shoes, I am wearing a… Continue

Meagan Staying Employed - More About Tactics that can be used against you at Work

In my previous post, I outlined a few of the tactics that are used against trans workers. I promised that if there was interest, I would follow up with another post. There did seem some interest, so this is that followup post. I probably should have posted this a long time ago, but I've had more than a few things on my plate. As I mentioned in my previous post, there are two basic issues that these posts are designed to discuss - 1) Identifying typical tactics used to create hostile working co… Continue

Lilia Koss About FFS

Hello, I am Lilia Koss, the patient coordinator for Agave Clinic in Marbella (Spain), an international maxillofacial center specializing in facial feminization.

Stephanie White Q: Who Would Want to Build a Career With a Trans Job?

A: Some of the best and the brightest, that's who. As many of you know, NCTE just completed an exhaustive search for a policy analyst to add to our staff. When we began the search I was hopeful that we would get 50-60 applicants to choose from. I assumed we would get plenty of transgender-identified people who wanted to join us, and I expected that we would get many lesbian, gay, and bisexual applicants who are not transgender but who embrace the full LGBT movement. What I didn’t expect was th… Continue
