What is your fondest coming out memory?

well, i am still in the process of coming out as a trans woman and a lesbian, but so far i would have to say it was being in the production of the Vagina Monologues at the university campus where i work last year. even though i do not have one yet. a vagina, that is. i was and still am so honored that the fine people at the Women's and LGBT centres asked me to be in it, and it was such a wonderful and affirming experience for me.

i and another transwoman read the monologue titled "They Beat the Girl Out of Me, or So They Tried" which is specifically about transwomen.

more recently, i have become a stage performer in a band called the Dirty Virgins which is led by my dear friend Steffie Loveless. i am a "transgender cheerleader" who dances and does cheer moves to the songs. as with being in TVM, it is great to be up on stage performing as a woman!
