Today was a disability appointment with a retired orthopedic surgeon. The disability department hadn’t sent them my medical records, making it difficult for the doctor to know what I am dealing with. He performed a physical exam; we discussed my diagnoses, pain, and a normal day for me. One more appointment to go over the mental aspects of my disability such as anxiety, major depressive disorder, as well as PTSD. This month has been quite exciting. Katherine was taken on as a staff member with the Trans Lifeline. She is now a team lead, working the overnight shift, so the lifeline can officially be 24 hours. She has been assigned team members, they are new volunteers. She has been training, assisting, and supporting the newcomers on her team this past week. She began her new shift time tonight. The tee shirt fund-raiser is still going. Just a few more days to get your shirt, the campaign ends on April 4th. We have sold the first two shirts. However, we need your help to get to our goal. The worst part of this to me, is we can’t afford to order our own shirts, plus we have to pay for five shirts if we don’t sell them. So, if this isn’t successful, we could very well be paying over $100 to the shirt company, instead of turning this blog into a source of income. So, if you believe in the work and outreach we are doing, please help us! Some exciting things to come this summer. We’ve been working alongside another activist on a project that will be announced soon! We think it’s going to be really awesome! The blog has had 6,352 page views! We’re very happy to see how things are unfolding for us here in California. If you like our blog, tell us what you think! Thanks for reading!

Authors:James and Katherine are a transgender couple raising two kids. They were southerners when coming to understand themselves as trans. Ultimately it lead to a nearly three year road trip to find home. Now they are re-housed and still focused on outreach in the transgender community! Archives
