Mel C. · 11-06-2009, 08:21 PM

OK, so it looks like we are meeting at Hooters of Mission Valley Tuesday 11/10 at 6pm.

Although you can order from the regular menu, they have an all-you-can-eat waaaangs special

Let me know by Tuesday if you are attending so I can request a table.

GinaSofia · 11-06-2009, 11:23 PM

Awwww,man! We would normally be able to skip work the
following day or even just come in late but my boss' Hubby
is in ICU and doing very poorly. We're the only ones on the
overnight call list for now.
I really do wanna see you,Mel.Please keep me posted if anything
else pops up or if you guys head out this way.

I'm putting the word out to any Trans men or women who may be interested in speaking at the "Transgender day of remembrance" event on November 20th. The event will be held at a community college, most likely somewhere in or around Santa Ana.

I will be speaking at the event myself. EQCA, OCEC and Courage Campaign are looking for trans individuals who would like to participate.

However, we are also looking for all the support we can get and reach out to everyone to attend this event. There will be speakers, a moment of silence and a candle lit march. We will be remembering those Trans men and women we have lost due to hate crimes. All are welcome!

I will post more information about the time and location when it becomes available. If you're interested, PM me and I'll give you the contact details.

Thanks for reading!

Guessing I wouldn't qualify, but I sure would like more information so we can go support our friend!

waving hello from San Diego

There's a new women's bar/restaurant in Hillcrest called Gossip Girl. Owned by the same group that owns Urban Mo's and Baja Betty's it's across the street from Baja Betty's on University with an interesting looking menu, outdoor patio seating and very creatively named cocktails i.e pussy juice (pineapple/orange juice, vodka and Sprite) !!

Anyone want to make plans for getting together sometime next week to check it out?

San Gabriel Valley Right hurrrrrrrr! I dont get out much though so I dont have no events to report.

Tommi · 11-20-2009, 03:40 PM

At a cemetary in Nebraska lies a gravesite with the name Teena R. Brandon "Daughter, Sister, Friend" on the tombstone

Unforturnately the person in the grave is probably buried in a dress. To mom JoAnne she had a "daughter".

To the world this is his true identity as he would have wanted it:
His epitaph should read:
Brandon Teena
December 12, 1972--December 31, 1993
Brother, Son, Friend

We can only imagine him buried in men's clothes.....

Brandon Teena: - Brandon Teena was never his legal name, it is uncertain the extent to which this name was used prior to his death. He used it. It is the name most commonly used by the press and other media. Other names may include his legal name, as well as "Billy Brenson" and "Tena Ray" (December 12, 1972 - December 31, 1993), born Teena Renae Brandon in Lincoln, Nebraska, and known simply as Brandon, was a physiological female living as a transsexual man.

Nov. 20, 2009

The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to be solved.

Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as transgender — that is, as a transsexual, crossdresser, or otherwise gender-variant — each was a victim of violence based on bias against transgender people.

West Hollywood, California
Friday, November 20, 2009
6:00 PM
The event begins at Matthew Shepard Human Rights Triangle
(Santa Monica Blvd. at Crescent Heights)
where there will be an unveiling of the first Transgender Memorial Plaque,
commemorating those who have been murdered due to anti-transgender
violence and hatred.
For more information, please contact Karina Samala at 213-999-0456.
