Well, ok, the study actually says they're looking for non-trans people, but I'm trying to use the term cisgender more and more. I picked up the link from an article on www.trans-health.com .

They say they are going to develop online HIV intervention materials to protect the health of these non trans cisgender partners and trans people. There is a $30 gift certificate in it for those who finish the survey.

Here's the weblink:

Although I am glad (and shocked!) to see that they included trans men, part of me wonders how effective online resources will be for protecting the health of our community. I guess only time will tell!

I wanted to share this book with all the guys in Seattle. One of my friends was involved in the project & its pretty amazing. I have not read the book yet but I have oreded it & am looking forward to it. There is a facebook page for the book & discussion page.

Transgender people continue to break boundaries in some of the most interesting ways. We can now add a trasngender man to the list. Tyler McCormick won International Mister Leather 2010.

For the first time since my endo ablation, I was spotting. Normally, this would be no big deal but I am talking close to 4 years with absolutely nothing even resembling such an occurrence. I was also a bit crampy. I'm attributing this to the war being raised between the estrogen and testosterone. Since I know what the outcome is going to be, I'm not too concerned.
