Do Kids Know Who They are?
I have long believed that we know better as kids who we are then we do as adults; before the world contorts our understanding with their own views of who we should be.
There have been countless accounts that have come to light in the past 10 years or so, of kids refusing to accept the labels be put upon them by the adult world.
Recently, another account has surfaced with a speech impaired kid that has insisted -- against the resistance of everyone around her, that she is, in fact a she -- despite being born with male biology.
As a kid, it seems that their nature self-identification is likely more true than any later in life. Read the story in the link to follow and let me know what you think/

After 7 Years
So after coming out in 2000, my exploration evolved into a female life, and I found myself living 24/7 as Brianna and easing into transition. Then in 2003 I reversed course. Its been 7 years since that day in Buenos Aires when I came to understand a life long conflict.
In August I was asked by a friend to help promote an event in New York. I did. Then I was asked to attend the Wedding Expo as her bridesmaid --as Brianna. I did (see me in the Burgundy dress above).
It was a strange yet familiar feeling to step back into "her" shoes. I'll follow up with more about that in future posts.

Fashion Week and Emmy Style
The Red Carpet saw a lot of the starlets decked out in Scarlet, blues, champagne and pinks. New York Fashion Week had a wide array of brights and prints, but also heavily influenced by the 1970s, and to a lesser degree, the '20s.

Its About Time
Project Empowerment, a program run by the District of Columbia's Department of Employment Services, has enrolled its first full class of transgender individuals, marking the District's first publicly funded effort to specifically train and find full-time employment for transgender residents.
The program, which began Sept. 12 for current enrollees, involves three weeks of pre-employment training, where the students take classes and seminars to learn skills such as interview techniques and résumé writing, says Jeffrey Richardson, director of the Mayor's Office of GLBT Affairs.

We need more avenues of opportunity to help keep our young sisters off the streets.
