Great connections to the issues we have been raising about social justice issues. What would Carolson say? Or Christensen?<BR/><BR/>LB :)Dr. Lesley Bogadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304182571326626786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743839343657402161.post-46785226001820240812008-03-07T11:44:00.000-08:002008-03-07T11:44:00.000-08:00I too am a trans woman and want to thank you for y...I too am a trans woman and want to thank you for your sensitivity and your compassion in discussing the incredible obstacles we face in today's society. Slowly, but surely, we are educating the world about us, which is our only hope in ending the discrimination, harassment, violence and murder that we face all too often. Thanks for doing your part.<BR/><BR/>AbbyAbbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293238500720538822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743839343657402161.post-3785288637474468222008-03-04T07:20:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:20:00.000-08:00Thanks Heather!Most of us who go down this path lo...Thanks Heather!<BR/><BR/>Most of us who go down this path lose everything we have, family, career, and friends. It is like dying, struggling to live, and then to face death again on a daily basis. I had seen the SUV episode and thought it to be a very well done and accurate production. What drove home the importance of it, and the effect was that my youngest son had called to express his understanding, having seen the episode. Sometimes our tears and words cannot be seen, and it takes another to say the words. <BR/><BR/>stellewriterStellewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09973665718883183659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743839343657402161.post-49610790194158182662008-03-04T07:19:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:19:00.000-08:00Thanks Heather!Most of us who go down this path lo...Thanks Heather!<BR/><BR/>Most of us who go down this path lose everything we have, family, career, and friends.

I am a transsexual too - and many of the things that happen in that episode happen to real people each and every day. I'm a very active advocate for our community (www.donnarose.com) because the only way to overcome the ignorance and the fear at the heart of that kind of treatment is simply to live our lives with dignity and authenticity. I appreciate your empathy - it comes across in your writing.<BR/><BR/>DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695864068826692539noreply@blogger.com
