WHY HATE ON BLACK TRANS
9:38AM on September 21, 2011

New analysis shows startling levels of discrimination against Black transgender people
Black transgender and gender non-conforming people face some of the highest levels of discrimination of all transgender people according to a new analysis released today, Injustice at Every Turn: A Look at Black Respondents in the National Transgender Discrimination Survey.
The Task Force released the report with the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) as a supplement to the groundbreaking national study, Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, which was published in February and revealed widespread discrimination experienced by transgender and gender non-conforming people across the board.
Discrimination was pervasive for the entire sample, but anti-transgender bias coupled with structural racism meant that transgender people of color experienced particularly devastating levels of discrimination, with Black respondents often faring worse than all others. Among the key findings of the analysis released today:
Black transgender people had an extremely high unemployment rate at 26 percent, two times the rate of the overall transgender sample and four times the rate of the general population.
A startling 41 percent of Black respondents said they had experienced homelessness at some point in their lives, more than five times the rate of the general U.S. population.
Black transgender people lived in extreme poverty with 34 percent reporting a household income of less than $10,000 per year. This is more than twice the rate for transgender people of all races (15 percent), four times the general Black population rate (9 percent), and eight times the general U.S. population rate (4 percent).
Black transgender people were affected by HIV in devastating numbers. More than one-fifth of respondents were living with HIV (20.23 percent), compared to a rate of 2.64 percent for transgender respondents of all races, 2.4 percent for the general Black population, and 0.60 percent of the general U.S. population.
National Black Justice Coalition Executive Director Sharon Lettman-Hicks said:
From education to employment and housing discrimination, from police brutality to health care disparities, Black transgender people are suffering at extremely high rates due to bigotry and transphobia. Nearly half of all Black transgender respondents report being harassed at work and at school. Twenty-six percent are unemployed and 34 percent report annual incomes of less than $10,000 per year. These numbers are appalling and these living conditions are unacceptable for any human being gender conforming or not. NBJC is committed to bringing visibility to the gross inequities faced by our transgender brothers and sisters, and to creating a world where gender non-conforming individuals can work, love and seek medical attention without fear of discrimination, harassment or violence.
Also among the findings:
Half of Black respondents who attended school expressing a transgender identity or gender non-conformity reported facing harassment.
Nearly half (49 percent) of Black respondents reported having attempted suicide.
On a positive note, many Black transgender people who were out to their families reported that their families were as strong as before they came out. Black respondents reported this experience at a higher rate than the overall sample of transgender respondents.
Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force stated:
This report is a critical call to action for our policymakers to confront these horrifying realities by enacting protections without hesitation. The stark truth is that the multi-layered effects of poverty, race and class discrimination are devastating for Blacks. These findings show just how profoundly harmful it is when discrimination based on gender identity is also in the mix. These data make it clear that racial and economic justice are among the most critical issues facing LGBT people.
Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said:
This report confirms what weve long known to be true: being transgender and Black in the United States presents unique challenges on the path to full equality. This problem is deeply important to me and to NCTE where every day we hear from transgender people of color who survive in the face of racism and transphobia. This report should be a lesson to all of us that a world with transgender equality is a world with racial equality.
Findings from Injustice at Every Turn: A Look at Black Respondents in the National Transgender Discrimination Survey spotlight the vital need for social justice advocates to address a racial and an LGBT dimension within their social justice work. The analysis is a resource for those advocating for policy changes at every level of government.

I'M STILL RISING IN THE 2011
11:21PM on August 18, 2011

STILL I RISE
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still like dust, I'll rise
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
Cause I walk like I've got OIL WELLS
Pumping in my living room
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I RISE
Did you want to see me BROKEN?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops
Weakened by my soulful cries
Does my haugtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin in my own backyard
You may even shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
You may kill me with your hatefulnes
But still, like air, I'll RISE
Does my sexiness upsat you?
Does it come as surprise
That I dance like I got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history shame
I RISE
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I RISE
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide
Welling and swell, I bear in the tide,
leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I RISE
Into a daybreak that's wonderously clear
I RISE
Bring the gifts that my anestors gave,
I am the DREAM and the HOPE of the SLAVE
I RISE
to see another bright day
THIS IS A POEM I NEVER WILL FORGET AND CAN REMEMBER BY HEART CUZ I LIVE BY IT DAILY AND EVEN THO WE ALL COME FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS & RACES, SEXUAL ORIENTIONS, JUST KNOW IT LIVES IN ALL OF US!
THANKS FOR READING, GOD BLESS AND LOVE U ALL
HEAVEN

U are allowed to be who u want now (STATE LAWS SAID SO)
9:43PM on August 26, 2010
Transgender rules on driver's licenses changed
HARRISBURG - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is changing its policy on how transgender people identify themselves on driver's licenses. The department and Equality Pennsylvania announced a settlement Wednesday that allows people to change the gender on their licenses if they are living full-time in their new gender and it can be verified by a licensed medical or psychological caregiver.
The previous policy only allowed changes in gender for drivers who could prove they had sexual reassignment surgery. PennDot said about half the states already have adopted a similar policy. The policy takes effect immediately.
So now that this is being done, how do feel about these changes?

WE WILL NEVER GET OVER SLAVERY (MENTALITY OR PHYSICALLY)
1:36PM on August 21, 2010
"We Will Never Get Over Our Own Slavery"
"If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm."
"African proverb"
Maybe we're not hanging from trees in the numbers we once were, but we are still dying.
Our hopes, our dreams, our aspirations are all dying at the hands of white & black people who systematically destroy us.
It's no accident that in almost any community in this country where there is a Martin Luther King Jr. drive, expressway or boulevard, that area is economically depressed.
It is no accident that black schools continue to lag behind white ones in federal funding and in the quality of experience.
It is no accident that blacks have a greater chance of being pulled over by police more than whites. These are all examples of how racism in the 21st Century is killingus blacks. *

MEMO FROM GOD
1:10PM on September 18, 2009
MEMO FROM GOD:
To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: THE BOSS
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE
Referral: HEAVEN
Today I will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
It will be addresses in MY time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic: Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live along enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or in-securities: REMEMBER, things could be worse... YOU COULD BE THEM!

I AM TRANNY HEAR ME ROAR (A SEXY POEM)
12:39PM on September 18, 2009
"I AM TRANNY...hear me roar"
Carmel Elite colored covered fine and thick
Am I any less of a woman, because I have a dick?
From the swell of my breast to my tight round ass!
There's no denying that I'm oh- so fine
but I like to caress the mind before letting bodies intertwine!
Let's talk bout thoughts, you know the ones we keep to ourselves
the ones that for some reason or another we never tell "ANYONE ELSE"!
Hmmmmmmmmm
A mental photograph, cause a picture is worth a thousand words, a glimpse, a thought, most unspoken and unheard!
HANDSOME, INTELLIGENT, STRONG yet GENTLE, are these the things you require in your man?
SOMEONE you can LOVE with your all and completely TRUST!
A MAN worthy of your respect and capable of satisfying my LUST!
but he don't exist, are you sure?
hmmmmmmmmmmmm pictures let me look at that once more
this ones blurry cause of your fears & self doubt
and these are things which make you settle for being "WITHOUT"
WITHOUT LAYING IN HIS ARMS FEELING IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER
WITHOUT KNOWING THAT WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, WE CAN SOLVE THEM TOGETHER
WITHOUT KNOWING IS HE WITH ME JUST CAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD DO??
or
COULD THIS BE REAL AND HE LOVES ME JUST CAUSE IM A REAL TRANNY
or is it
BECAUSE
IM REALLY HIS BOO!!!!!

The Truth Sent to me via FRIEND!!!
12:18PM on September 18, 2009
Why would we even dignify this "shock tactic" meant to undermine our candidate by passing it through the email channels from email-to-email to be read and then subliminally digested? This is an attempt to destroy something that is bigger than Obama and bigger than any of us as people, primarily men of color (especially African Americans).
It will be a proud and victorious day when we as a people realize that the success of our community lies in unity! It doesn't lie in small financial gain or in the rise and/or fall of the individual. This country is run on POWER.... and political power when matched with money and a unified front is the strongest power there is.
Take a lesson from the Jewish community. The needs of the many out weigh the desires of the individual. Obama should have our unwavering support because he looks like you and though that may sound simplistic and even naive to some, it is more naive to believe that there aren't hundreds of thousands who will not support him for the very reason that he does not look like them.
As a people we have been conditioned to save ourselves at the cost of our community. We believe in the preservation of me and mine and we revel in the idea of standing apart from the rest and we are still waiting for the approval of a Caucasian society that does not value us and therein lies the fist that holds us down and keeps us back. Look around, open your eyes, READ SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE (learn history and pay attention to the news), things are not getting better for us, they are getting worse and we are our own worst enemy! "The Man" hardly needs to lift a finger when we are killing each other, when we destroy our own neighborhoods, don't support our children and quit on our own educations. WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP PLEASE!!!
Take the extra five blocks to support a Black owned business. And yea that may come with a side of attitude, but I'd rather get attitude from my own than slowly have money sucked from my community by outsiders. Let's be realistic, how many smiles do you get and how great is costumer service anywhere these days???? There is always an excuse and always a "logical reason" why we don't support our own, always away to justify our self-hatred and unraveling families and community. The time for justification is over! The time for finger pointing is long passed. If you can't see that we are re-enslaving ourselves, if you can't see that we are being fooled and fooling ourselves, if you can't see that we are slowly, NO not-so-slowly walking backwards as a community, than I feel we may truly be lost.
He is a Black man and as such deserves our consideration at very least and at our best, he deserves our full support. Understand that we are the only people in the world that questions our own in the support of others or that do not seem to value US as much as we values outside influences and trappings.
There is an old lawyers trick that plays on the subconscious mind. What you hear or read or see is digested into the mind and all the "objections" and all the efforts to disprove a "shock tactic" are never quite as poignant as the "shock tactic" itself. You still heard it, read it or saw it and it becomes a part of you subconscious and thus a part of you. We are stronger than that, better than that and braver than that and we for the first time in a long time have the opportunity to send the message to the world, we are one and we do have value and our political and economic power speaks to more than just the consumption of products that make us look successful.
The strength of a leader comes from the faith and support of those that follow him. Martin Luther King was a great man because he had a great following. Understand that I take nothing away from the dynamic way he spoke and the ability he had to rally the community...but as his support grew so did his power to be dynamic!!!! GET BEHIND A MAN AND HE CAN RULE THE WORLD!!!
Understand that it is time to again take ownership of our community, our children and our destiny. It is time to again feel proud, not as individuals, but as a people. Know that the struggle ain't over...don't ever be fooled. Now you can take the blue pill and wake up comfortably in your bed believing the world and our community is OK...or you can take the red pill and see what's on the other side of the rabbit hole. WE ARE BEING FOOLED AND WE ARE BECOMING CONTENT WITH SCARPS AGAIN...We are a part of the first generations to do worse than their parents. A few successes mean nothing if we fall and fail as a people! TRASH THIS SHIT AND REMEMBER WHAT THE REAL ISSUES ARE...Remember what happened the last time we took our responsibility lightly...remember the last twenty years, especially the last 10 and ask yourself...WHO DO I WANT TO SEE REFLECTED IN MY COUNTRY'S LEADERSHIP...WHAT DO I WANT THE FACE OF MY COUNTRY TO BE...WHAT WOULD THEY DO TO STOP ME (AND IN TURN WHAT MUST I DO TO STOP THEM)...
The time for foolishness is over...WE HAVE ENJOYED THE FRUITS OF THIRTY AND FORTY YEAR OLD VICTORIES FOR TOO LONG...We still have work to do. To rebuild our churches and our families and our politics and our community and only when basking in the victory of the success of all these things, only then have we truly made it!!!! I love my people, even when I forget the struggle, even when I devalue myself and my community...but it is time for us all, especially our men, gay and straight, to put away childish things...MEN STAND UP, JOIN EACH OTHER, EMPOWER EACH OTHER and empower this brother who has a chance to shake up the world...WHO WOULD MARTIN HAVE VOTED FOR? WHO WOULD MALCOLM HAVE VOTED FOR???? WHO WOULD MOHAMMAD HAVE VOTED FOR? WHO WOULD YOUR GRAND FATHER HAVE VOTED FOR? WHO WOULD THE SLAVES HAVE SEEN AS THEIR SAVIOR RIGHT NOW AND REGARDLESS???? You better choose a side, because its coming to that and anyone who thinks "I'm on my side" is the winning side is in for a rude awakening...let's stand together and move mountains people.

POEM: THE DEEPER ME
12:16PM on September 18, 2009
"THE DEEPER ME "
You think you know me, don't you?
This woman that you see?
But let me tell you right now,
There's a little more to me.
I've had to go through much thought,
To reach my deeper truth.
And realize that I ought
Not be a "Robert" but a "Ruth".
At first understanding I was 'gay',
I then came to the age
Of understanding in a deeper way,
That was just a stage.
I just knew I was a woman,
Though of a different kind.
And wouldn't let anyone tell me
That I had lost my mind.
I've learned to accept myself,
But that's just half of it.
Often times I've wondered
Just where the hell I fit?!
Many heteros won't accept me,
'Cause they keep thinking 'gay',
While the LGB community,
Says, "You don't love our way!"
But when you get right down to it,
Does everyone love the same?
Someone who'd really think like that
Would have to be quite lame.
I've had folks say (who think they're right),
"You're rejecting what God made you!"
While I think I'm quite a sight,
And didn't He make my mind too?!
Now I don't know what you think of me,
Quite frankly I don't care.
'Cause despite hate, I love humanity,
With feelings out to there!
Because I've learned to love myself,
Regardless of what others feel
Won't keep my feelings on a shelf,
For any sort of deal!!
"Only God can judge me,"
That's all I have to say.
So we all can wait to see
His decision Judgment Day.
Meanwhile, I'll do me,
As everyone lives his own.
And see if we can find a place
Where we can live as one.
We all have qualities unique
Really worth the saving.
And must not let anyone
Tell us we're "misbehaving".
"unknown writer"

FRANCE SAY YES TO TRANSSEXUALITY
3:56PM on June 05, 2009
France to Declassify Transsexuality as a Mental Illness
On the day before the International Day Against Homophobia, French Minister of Health Roselyne Bachelot wanted to send a "strong signal" to the world about homophobia and, in particular, transsexuality. Mme. Bachelot announced today that French health services will no longer classify transsexuality as a mental illness. A spokesman for the Ministry of Health clarified the move by saying that there will remain a medical classification for transsexuality because transsexual individuals still require specialized medical care. Trans groups across the nation welcomed the move and hope that the World Health Organization (WHO) will follow France's lead. In 1996, the WHO listed transsexualism in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD 10) as a "disorder of sexual identity." The Collective Against Homophobia hailed the the French government's move today as a milestone for transgender people, who "will no longer be stigmatized and considered by France as the mentally ill." However, some groups remain cautious, saying that symbolic gestures need to be followed by deliberate actions, specifically easing the transition process from the civil and legal perspectives. The fight against transphobia is the theme of this year's International Day Against Homophobia, which takes place annually on May 17. Vive la France!

Barack Obama May Become The 7th Black President, Not the FIrst!
3:59PM on June 26, 2008
I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH U ALL! ENJOY
Barack Obama May Become The Seventh
Not The First, Black President ...YEA DATZ RIGHT......LMAO!
A historian says Dwight Eisenhower's mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower, was black. She is shown with David J. Eisenhower, Dwight Eisenhower's father, on their wedding day, Sept. 23, 1888.
(SEE PIC UPLOAD FOR PIC OF MOTHER)
If Sen. Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination for president and goes on to win the White House, he would be the seventh, not the first black man to occupy the oval office, according to three black historians whose work to uncover the racial backgrounds of U.S. presidents has been largely ignored until now.
Black male historians have written extensively that Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Dwight Eisenhower had black ancestors. These historians are Joel A. Rodgers, Dr. Leroy Vaughn, and Dr. Auset Bakhufu.
Black historians, however, were not the first to write about the five presidents' racially mixed families. White historians and political opponents also wrote about the men's black ancestors, but the books were either destroyed, went out of print or are hard to find.
A common theme associated with the earlier black presidents is that they all passed for white, sometimes destroying family photographs and letters, to hide their racial backgrounds.
Sen. Obama cannot obviously pass for white because of his dark skin color. Obama makes it clear he is the son of a Kenyan economist and white female anthropologist.
Interracial relationships between black women and white men explain the racial backgrounds of some of the presidents, but not all.
Sexual relationships between black men and white women have produced offspring. Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh's president, was the son of a black man and an Irish woman, according to historians.
Interracial relationships between black men and Native American women also produced racially mixed offspring.
Rodgers, who died in 1966, wrote the book The Five Black Presidents, and Dr. Vaughn devotes a chapter to the five black presidents in his Black People and Their Place in World History. Rogers and Vaughn agree Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Harding and Coolidge had black ancestors.
Dr. Auset Bakhufu, author of The Six Black Presidents' Black Blood: White Masks includes Eisenhower.
Despite author Toni Morrison's 1998 New Yorker magazine article that claims Bill Clinton is the nation's first black president because of his womanizing and frequenting McDonald's restaurants, Clinton is not listed.
President Warren G. Harding
attended a college for fugitive slaves.
The strongest case for a president with black ancestry is Harding, the 29th president who served in office from 1921 to 1923.
White historians claim Harding was of English and Dutch ancestry, but in truth both his parents were black. Harding's black ancestors escaped from the South to the North via the Underground Railroad, according to the book Warren G. Harding, U.S. President 29: Death By Blackness, by Marsha Stewart, a black woman, who says she is a Harding descendent.
Historians bolster Harding's black ancestral background by noting where he attended college.
Harding graduated from Iberia College, a school in Iberia, Ohio, founded to educate fugitive slaves, according to historians. Iberia College has been renamed Ohio Central College. When Republicans asked Harding to deny his "Negro" Harding said, "How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence."
William Chancellor, a white professor of economics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote about Harding's black ancestry in the 1923 book Warren Gamaliel Harding: President of the United States.
Chancellor called Harding "our first Negro president," and he wrote that Warren, his brother and sisters were reared and treated like "colored people." He also accused Harding of using makeup to lighten his facial complexion.
As soon as Harry M. Daugherty, Harding's attorney general, learned of the book, justice department officials seized all of the copies. Stewart says only three copies now exist. The New York Public Library owns a copy; the Princeton University Library owns one as does the library of the Ohio Historical Society, she adds.
Jackson was the nation's seventh president. He served from 1829 to 1837. Dr. Vaughn cites an article published in the Virginia Magazine of History that Jackson's oldest brother was sold into slavery.
Another account of Jackson's brother being sold into slavery is published in the 1960 book Ordeal of the Presidency by David Coyle.
Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third president, who served from 1801 to 1809, was the son of an Indian woman and a mulatto father, according to the 1867 book The Johnny Cake Papers, by Thomas Hazard.
Another author Samuel Sloan wrote that Jefferson destroyed all of the papers, portraits and personal effects of his mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson, when she died on March 31, 1776. He even wrote letters to everyone who had received a letter from his mother to ask that they return them, Sloan writes in his book The Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson.
Abraham Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, was the illegitimate son of an African man, Rodgers quotes Nancy Hanks Lincoln, Lincoln's mother, as saying. Abraham Lincoln was very dark skinned and had coarse hair, Rodgers writes.
Historians maintain that Thomas Lincoln was Abraham Lincoln's father, but William H. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, disputes that assumption.
After Lincoln's assassination in 1865, Herndon contacted everyone who knew Lincoln and documented his life. According to the book, The Hidden Lincoln, From The Letters And Papers Of William H. Herndon, Herndon argued that Thomas Lincoln could not have been Abraham Lincoln's father because Thomas Lincoln was sterile as a result of childhood mumps.
The Hidden Lincoln was published in 1938 by Emanuel Hertz, who compiled the writings.
Calvin Coolidge, the nation's 30th president, admitted that his mother, Victoria Josephine Moor Coolidge, was dark because she was of mixed Indian ancestry. Coolidge was a native of Plymouth, Windsor County, Vermont. By the 1800, New England Indians were not pure because so many of them intermarried with blacks, says Dr. Bakhufu.
Further, he adds, Coolidge's mother's maiden name was "Moor," and the name "Moor" was given to all black people in Europe as Negro had been given to all black people in the United States.
Dr. Bakhufu includes on his list of presidents with black ancestry, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the nation's 34th president. President Eisenhower's mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower, was rumored to have black ancestry.

9:33AM on June 22, 2008
Admin removed vid.
"BRUTALITY AT HIS WORST"
" Why is a cop placed on probation able to detain anyone"?
I viewed this on a site I'm a member of and all I could do is hold my breath while I inhaled the weed smoke I was trying to intake. "OH MY GOD" as I watched this video, my heart just thumped to the left as if WHAT THE FUCK!
Then I said what can I do to help someone in a situation like this when I don't have any power. Well today I do, I got the power of speech, free speech in America was never a law but a man of pain dream. It's laws made to shut a person up like me. I can't understand how we living in a world where the good goes punish and the bad get rewarded.
Now no matter how this person was living their life or providing for themselves, we come from all walks of life and we all do thing at times that we don't want to do or even if we want to do them we all the know the circumstances of whats to come if we get caught doing something we was told is so wrong. However their still is no reason for the fact that once u is placed in the so called protection of the PROTECT & SERVICE OF OUR FELLOW PROTECTORS.
Not at any time we should feel as if were not humans but scared little creations that cant fight back.
So my people what I'm trying to say to you all is STOP THE HATE, STOP THE SENSELESS VIOLENCE ON ONE ANOTHER. No matter how you see it, that still someone brother, sister, uncle, cousin, aunt, Mother, Father to someone. Now days we living in world of negativity and sense morals. Were the powerful think its OK to take it upon themselves to play god by taking people lives senseless and without moral.
Now I am a transgender woman, so by all means I'm very angered by this video and I notice that now days it's not just the LOCAL CORNER boys or the LOCAL THUG who get torrent by cops and authority figures these days. HATRY AND DISCRIMMINATION COMES in vase numbers this day and age. Prostitute or not, this person was still a human and the treatment she received was unjust and unfair to anyone no matter their color, crude or gender.
I use the term "SHE" cause that's what she appeals to be and as stated what she is. Now I notice also this lifestyle is bout LUST & mostly FANASTY, so people tend not to want to see you as a person, a mother, brother, sister or anything that they may not dream of seeing u as, but in fact a whore or a slut, some kind of sissy or punk who just want to be feminine or just a man who wants to be a woman. That's ignorance my people, EDUCATION YASELF, U don't have to be apart of something to learn something bout it. If you don't know something then don't speak on things you have no education on. Not all transgender people wanted to be woman, some just wanted to change their bodies to fit what they was feeling in the inside and some in fact think they was mistakenly born a man. That only lays deep with that person who have to figure out their own personal issues as anyone, any other race, or gender would have too as well. I myself is very comfortable being who I am and what I see and have no desire to be anything other then be myself. So to say this, WERE ALL HUMANS AND HAVE TO SHARE THIS EARTH BUT JUSTICE GOES UN-PUNISH IN THE EYES OF THE LORD. So treat people as if u would want to be treated and now days mind ya business if something don't concern you, but more moralist and protect whats right and fight for whats wrong. CUZ NO ONE DESERVE TO GET TREATED LIKE THIS BEING DETAINED FOR ANY REASON AT ALL NO MATTER WHAT YA RACE, GENDER OR BACKGROUND IS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME BROTHERS OR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ALSO BEEN TREATED BRUTAL OR INJUSTICE WHILE BEING DETAIN AND THEY DIDNT HAVE TO BE GAY, BLACK, OR TRANSGENDER TO GET UNFAIR TREATMENT BUT THE FACT THEY WAS TREATED UNFAIR AND UNJUSTICE IS JUST A REASON TO CARE CUZ IT COULD BE YOU NEXT TIME.

Your Letter of ya first name say alot bout you, What does yours say?
1:32PM on April 12, 2008
According to studies, the first letter of your first name reveals your sexual identity. Scroll down to the letter corresponding to the first letter of your first name and see what your name reveals about YOUR sexual identity!
-A- You are not particularly romantic, but you are interested in action. You mean business. With you, what you see is what you get. You have no patience for flirting and can't be bothered with someone who is trying to be coy, cute, demure, and subtly enticing. You are an up front person. When it comes to sex, it's action that counts not obscure hints. Your mate's physical attractiveness is important to you. You find the chase and challenge of the "hunt" invigorating. You are passionate and sexual as well as being much more adventurous than you appear; however, you do not go around advertising these qualities. Your physical needs are your primary concern.
-B- You give off vibes of lazy sensuality. You enjoy being romanced, wined, and dined. You are very happy to receive gifts as an expression of the affection of your lover. You want to be pampered and know how to pamper your mate. You are private in your expression of endearments and particularly when it comes to lovemaking. You will hold off until everything meets with your approval. You can control your appetite and abstain from sex if need be. You require new sensations and experiences. You are willing to experiment.
-C- You are a very social individual, and it is important to you to have a relationship. You require closeness and togetherness. You must be able to talk to your sex partner before, during, and after. You want the object of your affection to be socially acceptable and good looking. You see your lover as a friend and companion. You are very sexual and sensual, needing someone to appreciate and almost worship you. When this cannot be achieved, you have the ability to go for long periods without sexual activity. You are an expert at controlling your desires and doing without.
-D- Once you get it into your head that you want someone, you move full steam ahead in pursuit. You do not give up your quest easily. You are nurturing and caring. If someone has a problem, this turns you on. You are highly sexual, passionate, loyal, and intense in your involvement, sometimes possessive and jealous. Sex to you is a pleasure to be enjoyed. You are stimulated by the eccentric and unusual, having a free and open mind.
-E- Your greatest need is to talk. If your date is not a good listener, you have trouble relating. A person must be intellectually stimulating or you are not interested sexually. You need a friend for a lover and a companion for a bedmate. You hate disharmony and disruption, but you do enjoy a good argument once in a while it seems to stir things up. You flirt a lot, for the challenge is more important than the sexual act for you, but once you give your heart away, you are uncompromisingly loyal. When you don't have a good lover to fall asleep with, you will fall asleep with a good book. (Sometimes, in fact, you prefer a good book.)
-F- You are idealistic and romantic, putting your lover on a pedestal. You look for the very best mate you can find. You are a flirt, yet once committed, you are very loyal. You are sensuous, sexual, and privately passionate. Publicly, you can be showy, extravagant, and gallant. You are born romantic. Dramatic love scenes are your favorite fantasy pastime. You can be a very generous lover.
-G- You are fastidious, seeking perfection within yourself and your lover. You respond to a lover who is your intellectual equal or superior, and one who can enhance your status. You are sensuous and know how to reach the peak of erotic stimulation, because you work at it meticulously. You can be extremely active, sexually that is, when you find the time. Your duties and responsibilities take precedence over everything else. You may have difficulty getting emotionally close to a lover, but no trouble getting close sexually.
-H- You seek a mate who can enhance your reputation and earning ability. You will be very generous to your lover once you have attained a commitment. Your gifts are actually an investment in your partner. Before the commitment, though, you tend to be frugal in your spending and dating habits and equally cautious in your sexual involvement. You are a sensual and patient lover.
-I- You have a great need to be loved, appreciated... Even worshipped. You enjoy luxury, sensuality, and pleasures of the flesh. You look for lovers who know what they are doing. You are not interested in an amateur, unless that amateur wants a tutor. You are fussy and exacting about having your desires satisfied. You are willing to experiment and try new modes of sexual expression. You bore easily and thus require sexual adventure and change. You are more sensual than sexual, but you are sometimes downright lustful.
-J- You are totally marvelous!
-K- You can be very romantic, attached to the glamour of love. Having a partner is of paramount importance to you. You are free in your expression of love and are willing to take chances, try new sexual experiences and partners, provided it's all in good taste. Brains turn you on. You must feel that your partner is intellectually stimulating, otherwise you will find it difficult to sustain the relationship. You require loving, cuddling, wining, and dining to know that you're being appreciated.
-L- You are very romantic, idealistic, and somehow you believe that to love means to suffer. You wind up serving your mate or attracting people who have unusual troubles. You see yourself as your lover's savior. You are sincere, passionate, lustful, and dreamy. You can't help falling in love. You really enjoy stimulating yourself, though you are fairly new to it. You fantasize and get turned on by movies and magazines. You do not tell others of this secret life, nor of your sexual fantasies.
-M- You are emotional and intense. When involved in a relationship, you throw your entire being into it. Nothing stops you; there are no holds barred. You are all consuming and crave someone who is equally passionate and intense. You believe in total sexual freedom. You are willing to try anything and everything. Your supply of sexual energy is inexhaustible. You also enjoy mothering your mate.
-N- You are crap in bed. Much practice and learning is needed.
-O- You are very interested in sexual activities yet secretive and shy about your desires. You can re-channel much of your sexual energy into making money and/or seeking power. You can easily have extended periods of celibacy. You are a passionate, compassionate, sexual lover, requiring the same qualities from your mate. Sex is serious business; thus you demand intensity and diversity, and are willing to try anything or anyone. Sometimes your passions turn to possessiveness, which must be kept in check.
-P- You are very conscious of social proprieties. You wouldn't think of doing anything that might harm your image or reputation. Appearances count, therefore, you require a good-looking partner. You also require an intelligent partner. Oddly enough, you may view your partner as your enemy; A good fight stimulates those sex vibes. You are relatively free of sexual hang-ups. You are willing to experiment and try new ways of doing things. You are very social and sensual; you enjoy flirting and need a good deal of physical gratification.
-Q- You require constant activity and stimulation. You have tremendous physical energy. It is not easy for a partner to keep up with you, sexually or otherwise. You are an enthusiastic lover and tend to be attracted to people of other ethnic groups. You need romance, hearts and flowers, and lots of conversation to turn you on and keep you going.
-R- You are a no-nonsense, action-oriented individual. You need someone who can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal the smarter the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a great body. However, physical attractiveness is very important to you. You have to be proud of your partner. You are privately very sexy, but you do not brag, you are willing to serve as teacher. Sex is important; you can be a very demanding playmate.
-S- You are secretive, self-contained, and shy. You are very sexy, sensual, and passionate, but you do not let on to this. Only in intimate privacy will this part of your nature reveal itself. When it gets down to the nitty-gritty, you are an expert. You know all the little tricks of the trade, can play any role or any game, and take your love life very seriously. You don't fool around. You have the patience to wait for the right person to come along.
-T- You are very sensitive, private, and sexually passive; you like a partner who takes the lead. Music, soft lights and romantic thoughts turn you on. You fantasize, but do not tend to fall in and out of love easily. When in love, you are romantic, idealistic, mushy, and extremely intense. You enjoy having your senses and your feelings stimulated, titillated, and teased. You are a great flirt. You can make your relationships fit your dreams, oftentimes all in your own head.
-U- You are enthusiastic and idealistic when in love. When not in love, you are in love with love, always looking for someone to adore. You see romance as a challenge. You are a roamer and need adventure, excitement, and freedom. You deal in potential relationships. You enjoy giving gifts and enjoy seeing your mate looking good. Your sex drive is strong and you desire instant ratification. You are willing to put your partner's pleasures above your own.
-V- You are individualistic, and you need freedom, space, and excitement. You wait until you know someone well before committing yourself. Knowing someone means psyching him out. You feel a need to get into his head to see what makes him tick. You are attracted to eccentric types. Often there is an age difference between you and your lover. You respond to danger, thrills, and suspense. The gay scene turns you on, even though you yourself may not be a participant.
-W- You are very proud, determined, and you refuse to take no for an answer when pursuing love. Your ego is at stake. You are romantic, idealistic, and often in love with love itself, not seeing your partner as he or she really is. You feel deeply and throw all of yourself into your relationships. Nothing is too good for your lover. You enjoy playing love games.
-X- You need constant stimulation because you bore quickly. You can handle more than one relationship at a time with ease. You can't shut off your mind. You talk while you make love. You can have the greatest love affairs, all by yourself, in your own head.
-Y- You are sexual, sensual, and very independent. If you can't have it your way, you will forgo the whole thing. You want to control your relationships, which doesn't always work out too well. You respond to physical stimulation, enjoy necking and spending hours just touching, feeling and exploring. However, if you can spend your time making money, you will give up the pleasures of the flesh for the moment. You need to prove to yourself and your partner what a great lover you are. You want feedback on your performance. You are an open, stimulating, romantic bedmate.
-Z- For you, it is business before pleasure. If you are in any way bothered by career, business, or money concerns, you find it very hard to relax and get into the mood. You can be romantically idealistic to a fault and are capable of much sensuality. But you never lose control of your emotions. You are very careful and cautious before you give your heart away and your body, for that matter. Once you make the commitment, though, you stick like glue.

TO BLOW ME OR NOT TO BLOW ME
4:29AM on February 05, 2008

MEN WHO LOVE TO BLOW CHICKS WITH DICKS
Well what more can I say then I LOVE THEM, hell a man that can please me with no drama and love what he do and continue to be him is a man of my choice. You know now days men tend to come off as if you fuck a trans in the ass it's all good but if you suck a dick, then ur GAY.
FACT is know what is GAY first of all & providing orals services to ya mate is just a way of saying I enjoy you more then just trying fuck and treat her as some whore or plain hoe but dont want to spend money for her time. I dont mess with any men who cant orally please me, I dont see the point in it. I got a DICK, I love my DICK, & if u sleeping with me ur love it too.
It's a excuse for most men to come off like why u so passable but want someone to blow you or suck on u as if, I dont have this big thing swing between my legs and the thought of it in ya mouth havent came across ya mind a min or two. I'm realist, I say what I feel and do what I feel and speak as I need too. So when you come at me with some BULLSHIT bout whats is gay and what is manly. Im Lite ya ass up cause a REAL MAN goes for what he know, seek what he want & do what he must to get it.
NOW BEING WITH A TRANSEXUAL DOES'NT MAKE YOU GAY HONEY, BEING ATTRACTIVE TO MEN AND ONLY MEN SOLEY LUSTFULLY & FREE IS WHY UR GAY!
SO KNOW YOUR FACTS AND STOP PLAYING ALL THESE MIND GAMES AS IF I DONT SHARE THIS EARTH WITH U & JUST BLOW ME! NICE AND SLOW BUT VERY WET PLEASE.....THANKS

I cant go out like this year without making these changes. HELL I need and want this to work and go right, cuz I took care all that with my babymother dying and taking care of her and her kids, I def feel I totally should be able to make this happen. Well Im off to try to bank some doe for the saving and wish me good LUCK cuz now days making a dollar out of 15 cents is def work to do! I wish I didnt live in philly, I would had that in a good week, but now days living here I got my work cut out for me! CUZ NO ONE WANT A SEXY DIVA BUT A MASC DIVO. (LOL) WHAT CAN I SAY THE WORLD IS MADLY GAY ON THE LOW! IM STILL BE ME AND SHINE ABOVE THE TEMP HOMO EFFECT.
