There are many things you can do for Transgender Equality, whether you call yourself an admirer, a trans-identified individual, or you’ve eaten quiche (but didn’t inhale). The excellent website, National Center for Transgender Equality is working hard in Washington DC to lobby to get bills passed for your rights. Go over and have a look and see what YOU can do to help.

Speaking of the Transgender community, I am doing my little part in helping the TEC (Transgender Events Committee) at the Gay Center on West 13th street NYC to organize this year’s trans prom. Last year’s was a fabulous success: About 150 people showed up! Trans-identified individuals from ALL groups are welcomed. I was happy to see the growing population of FTM represent. Here from my archives, is a flyer from last year’s Trans Prom.

This year’s Trans Prom welcomes Trans*, FTM, MTF, TG, TV, TS, CD, gender-questioning, genderqueer, partners, allies, and my personal favorite: PWSHLTL (People Who Still Haven’t Learned To Label). It starts at 8 pm on April 21 Friday. It is Free, and you don’t need a partner to attend. Also, anyone who is interested in volunteering their time and help may do so by simply showing up at our next Trans Events Committee Meeting (next one will be on April 5 Wednesday 6-7:30pm). Just go to the front desk and ask where the TEC is meeting and they will direct you. We need people to volunteer for set-up from 5pm to 7pm, shift #1 from 7:30pm to 10.00, shift #2, from 9:30 to 12, and clean-up from 12-1am. Surely, you can come by for a little while to help out and/or join in the fun! And of course, I’ll be there from 4pm onwards helping out until midnight.

Do drop in and help give our trans* representation greater visibility in the LGBT.
