13 September 2010 by kathleen.
I am just back home from Southern Comfort 2010. Please excuse the interruption in posts. I had an Asus netbook with me, but my 63-year-old eyes had a lot of trouble reading the screen for any length of time. I’ve got to get something with a bigger screen.
There were a surprising number of transmen, and I was happy to see them. Also surprising was the significant number of African-American transgendered, both FtM and MtF. I’ve often wondered where my black brothers and sisters are. Most trans events I’ve attended have been almost exclusively attended by white people. I hope this trend continues.
I also heard about TransParentDay, which is commemorated on the first Sunday in November. Look for a follow-up on this after I get a chance to look at it more deeply. It sounds like a thoroughly positive movement.
I presented my seminar on hair removal to a small but appreciative audience including two electrologists, Kelly Morrissy and Suzanne Anderer. Both are in the Chicago area. There are electrologists who know transwomen and their needs. I hope you can find one near you.
Be good to yourself: in 2011 find a trans conference that you can afford, and go!
