Due to the weather forecasts (RAIN) this Saturday, the SF Transgender DOR Planning committee decided to NOT start the event at City Hall. We will hold the entire event at Ark of Refuge, 1025 Howard Street, starting at 6:30PM, Saturday, November 20th.

There is nothing here, so I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Leigh · 11-19-2010, 07:29 PM

I'm looking forward to going to tomorrow's event

Transgender Americans face high suicide risk

New survey paints a portrait of trans people's lives in the U.S.

(excerpt)

A staggering 41 percent of transgender people in the United States have attempted to commit suicide, according to a new survey. About 19 percent of transgender people report being refused medical care because of their gender-nonconforming status, and a shocking 2 percent have been violently assaulted in a doctor's office.

These statistics are just some of the sobering findings from a survey of more than 7,000 transgender people conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, released in October 2010.

Thanks, I didn't know it was changed. I hope these events all over are well attended.
