Trans guy pOp!

Lately I've been getting all amped up about everything pOp and trans. Particularly a hip-hop trans performer named Harvey Katz, also known as "Athens Boys Choir", and a Katastrophe (Rocco Kayiatos) - who is featured in a documentary called Pick up the Mic: The (R)evolution of Queer Hip Hop that premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. I haven't seen it yet, but I will.

    Neekole: I stumbled upon him back in the day when I went to visit Katie in Chicago (like she mentioned below) and had absolutely no idea he was trans. When Katie told me, I was all giddy aboot it but never looked into him. He popped up on my radar again after reading the 1st issue of Original Plumbing, and now after coming out I'm even giddier about him than I was before and everything positive-inspiring tranny. Dirty Sanchez is at the uber top though, of course.

Earlier today I learned that Dr. Cori Agarwal’s medical secretary would come in to take photographs during my 3 hour surgery on August 11, 2011. As a warning, these photos are extremely graphic , but also incredibly informative and educational. This is why I’m displaying them after the “read more” button below instead of as a photo gallery.

Exciting News from Utah!

Exciting things are happening in Salt Lake City, Utah! Last night there was a panel specifically about employment discrimination based on gender identity and a proposed diversity bill.

The above coverage even ended with: "if you're an employer open to hiring transgender individuals" there's a link on their site to DiversityJobs.com ! Just 6 months ago the bills und

Viddy Documentation: 39 Days

If blogging is out of my element, photo documentation is even further out in the element ball park. What's on an another planet altogether is video documentation. Still, here's the thang. My voice just started cracking a couple of weeks ago and I want to catch it while it's high pitch central and to be able to look back on that change later down the road. Since the thickening of my vocal chords will be very gradual, I'm going to record my voice every so often to document that change. Here goes!
