I want to create a place where trans people and our allies could come together to share experiences, information and ideas. Being transgender or loving someone who is transgender can be challenging in our society and I hope that members of this site will also use this space as a place to support and encourage each other. Together, we can strengthen our community and open the hearts and minds of others.

It really bothers me when I see people doing my mother in drag. I mean, just imagine if you saw people doing that with your mother.

I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.

A lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again that's not the case in my family.

What mom cares about most is that I'm happy, healthy and enjoying my life.

Around 2001, I started analyzing lesbians. I started to realize that even really butch-acting or -dressing women still had a strong female identity that I never had.

Deep down, my mom had long suspected I was gay... Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told.
