The Tranny Train Tour

Today I start what I’m calling my Tranny Train Tour (even though it really isn’t so much of a tour, really). First I take the train* to Chicago, where by hook or by crook I end up in Hammond, Indiana so I can speak to the folks at Purdue University about transness and diversity on 10/27. Then – gulp! – I take the train from Chicago all the way to Dallas, TX, and wind up at Austin College in Sherman, TX where I talk to people and classes there about transness and self-determination on 11/1. Betty will be joining me there for a few days, flying in & out of Dallas.
Then I do the whole train trip in reverse: Dallas back to Chi back to NYC.
I’ll be back during the first days of November.
& For those of you anywhere near Purdue/Calumet or Austin College, do come and say hi.
* If you hadn’t worked this out, I’m taking the train for a grand total of 80 hours because I am sick to death of flying. And “sick to death” is unfortunately a very accurate term. I write and read a lot at home, so I figure I can do the same on a train without too much difficulty. I’m really looking forward to it, and my proof pages came just in time for those to be the first work I do (but I’ve got plenty of backup)!
