This "tribute" documents the life of the founder of the transgender liberation movement. I am honored to be part of this extraordinary story.
A heterosexual man who's also a lesbian continues discussing sexuality, gender and Thomas Beatie, a pregnant man who recently appeared on Oprah. She/he explains why some transgender people change their "social sexual identity" while keeping and/or minimally changing their physical anatomy.
"Genevieve" is a heterosexual 59-year-old married man who started cross-dressing at age 56. This self discovery opened up communication with a 20-year-old son. Family values? Indeed!
Christina was assaulted while using the women's toilet at McDonald's, 5th Ave & 34th St., NYC. Her frightening story speaks for itself. Her being able to tell her story to hundreds of others in Madison Square Park, with a rally permit issued by the NYC Police Department, guarded against attack by uniformed NYC Police Officers, demonstrates that free speech is alive & well in NYC. Where else would uniformed policemen dutifully protect a gathering of citizens publicly describing incident after incident of police misconduct?
Janet (underscore} Fey shares her experiences & invites voyeurs to view her cleavage on her MySpace page. She's a 'Spice Girl" who needs free studio time and is ready to be discovered. Here is YOUR chance! :-)

Anyone "assigned 'female' at birth" who feels that categorization is in error is welcome to join the TransMasculine Community Network, www.tmcnetwork.com . This unique video examines one of the newest groups to appear on the gender-variant scene. Join me in watching this group of handsome young males join NYC's Gay Pride Parade for the first time.
Transexuals & gender idenity have captured the public imagination. "Transgeneration" (the series) & "TransAmerica" (the movie) have opened up public discussion about what it is to be male and/or female or somewhere in between. Gender identity is separate from sexual orientation. 25% of transexuals are attracted to members of the opposite biological sex before changing their gender identity. For them, changing gender means going from being a heterosexual biological woman to being a biological gay man--or from being a heterosexual biological male to being a lesbian, as can be seen in my previous vlogs: "Transgender Same Sex Marriage" and "Why Women Chase Trans Men". Now, trans people are organizing to become equal citizens of modern day society. This tells the story of their struggle......

Marsha P. Johnson is a legendary transgender activist. She threw the first shoe at the police at Greenwich Village's Stonewall Bar in 1969. Marsha P. Johnson was the mother of my extended gay family from 1980 until 1992 when she was found dead, floating in the Hudson River at the foot of Christopher Street--an apparent victim of a hate crime. Through Marsha (given name: "Malcolm Michaels') I met, got to know and came to love her sister, Norma, (heavy woman glimpsed during this video). With all my loved ones dead from AIDS and my biological family scattered far away, Norma (Marsha's sister) & the Michaels family became the place I would always go on Thanksgiving. They all really know how to live life to the fullest & have a good time. This year the party was more fun than ever! If you get a kick out of this, wait till you see my next installment: "SEWERAGE MAN: Your business is my business" :-) ...Less
