I’m doing an interview with Josh & Sara of here! today at 3PM.
(& In the meanwhile, you can check out a past one with Veronica Vera. It’s #107.)
My Old Man
Aeneas has never acted his age.
Even when he was a kitten, instead of leaping off the bed, he would gingerly step on the bedframe in order to go from bed to floor. Now, however, he’s starting to look like an old man.
<< My crown prince, eyes wide shut.

2007’s Most Confusing Sign
“DANGER: Do Not Walk On Ceiling” (posted, on the ceiling, in Boston’s North Station)
TG Veterans Survey
New Transgender Veterans Survey
Immediate release. Please post this everywhere.
Transgender American Veterans Association
Contact: Monica F. Helms, President
president@tavausa.org
www.tavausa.org
A new survey has been created to achieve a more accurate picture of the state of the transgender American veteran population. Many of the issues facing transgender veterans are no different than those facing the rest of the transgender community. However negotiating healthcare thru the Veterans Administration and dealing with the Department of Defense poses its own unique set of challenges. This survey is also for those transgender people who are still serving in the military and those veterans who identify and are diagnosed as intersex.

GenderCrash Cancelled
Just so people know, GenderCrash is cancelled tonight. Not just me, but the whole event, due to the weather.
& I’m still waiting for Betty to get to Andover, sadly. She’s been driving since 10:30, but everyone got on the road once the snow started coming down, so traffic has been hellacious.
I’m going to try not to panic in the meanwhile.
More Decline of New York
Fuckwads. I think we should name a street after Hassan Askari, or at least get him some protection, because you know someone is going to give him a hard time about standing up for a Jewish guy.
Happy non-denominational holiday season, everyone!
& Why, people, is this such an issue? Wish me a happy Chanukah, a peaceful Kwanzaa, a lovely Christmas, or a light-filled Ramadan. I could not care less which. It’s when someone tells me to drop dead that I have a problem with. The idea that people are getting into fights over wishing someone a good anything BLOWS. MY. MIND.
Gender Crash!
I’ll be at Gender Crash! in Boston tomorrow night, doing what I do at one of the coolest events the trans community has to offer.
- Where: Spontaneous Celebrations, 45 Danforth St, Jamaica Plain
- When: Tonight, 12/13, at 7:30 PM
It seemed like a good way to end my semester up in Andover.

2007’s Biggest Loss for the Trans Community
The decision of Becca and Dixie to stop putting on the En Femme Getaway, which served a geographical region no other conference serves, was couples-oriented, spectrum-friendly, and held in an LGBT-friendly town.
Life is Hard.
A Christian pharmacist, Brian Bundy, was fired by Target for not being willing to dispense Plan B contraception to customers. He’s suing.
How odd. I can’t imagine. You don’t do your job & you get fired. What a weird outcome.
H2(uh-oh)
Apparently the folks who write Law & Order did their research; a local scientist & his students recently found gonorrhea in the Gowanus Canal.
But in the 70s, according to The New York Post, it contained typhus, typhoid, & cholera.
I’m not sure if this is better or worse.
