While web surfing about LGBT issues yesterday, I found this fabulous blog, TransGriot. It's written by this beautiful lady, Monica Roberts.
Her blog has already taught me a few things, such as:
- Dan Savage, a man who I thought was a real hero to the entire LGBT community, is actually transphobic. http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2010/03/dan-savages-transphobic-azz-strikes.html
- How race affects the transcommunity. http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2010/09/race-matters-even-in-trans-community.html
- A lot of information on how DADT is going down in America. http://transgriot.blogspot.com/search/label/DADT
I just think it's amazing that there's a black transwoman who's speaking out about issues that matter. When transpeople are presented in the media, they're usually white, so I wish all the power to her for breaking stereotypes. Her blog is very popular, it's received over a million hits.
I care very deeply about LGBT matters because there are a number of LGBT people in my life who I love. Transsexual rights really resonate with me because my brother-in-law, on the paternal side of my family, is a transman, and through my (bi) sister, I have an excellent idea of what he's gone through in his life.
Way to go, Monica!
