A great meeting Saturday night! There were only Sarah, Chris, Susan and Melissa there, so a good "girls" only night (sorry guys, you don't come, you don't play). We had a lot of discussion about surgery, and dealing with societies expectations for women versus men, and our own GID community and personal expectations.

I know some people did not come out because Ash's taxi was out of town. I hope we can communicate with each other enough so that no one misses a meeting because of transportation. A good subject for discussion, I think. As facilitators, we're not going to give out our members addresses, but let's see how we can make sure that no one can't get to a support meeting. Support means more than just being at a meeting.

I think every one knows I leave for Philadelphia and SRS Tuesday. Since I don't have a laptop, I won't be talking much for a while. Ash will get updates and pass them on. I think everyone understands that I consider the interuption most important. If the schedule holds, I will be back Monday, June 13, so I will miss the next meeting, Saturday, June 11. Ash will be sending out reminder notices. I assume he will have a full report on his trip to Texas (from his posts, It sounds like it's been a real party time!)

I'll see every one on the other side - I can see it from here!

meeting - May 28

Hi again everyone. Sending a reminder that the nect WTC regular meeting is next saturday, May 28, 2011 at 7:00 PM. I hope everyone can come. If you know of a transgendered person that might like or need to attend, have them e-mail Ash or Susan. We would love to have them come. Ash will out of town this week so Susan will facilitate. This week's meeting will be 0pen forum discussion of anything you might wish to talk about. Anyone willing to give their life story certainly may do so as well. Always voluntary.

I think everybody knows I am leaving on the 30th for Philadelphia and my life-long completion surgery. I am certainly open to discussing Gender Reassignment Surgery on saturday. I will not be back in time for the meeting of June 11th, but will be by June 25th, so I will have a first-hand story to tell then, with plenty of slides (just kidding!)

I hope you can be there saturday; I can use your moral support - for flying, the surgery is not bothering me a bit.

Reminding everyone of our 2nd Saturday regular closed meeting at 7:00 pm at the regular spot. We hope to discuss transgender safety. One thing I hope to explore is: are transgendered people any more at risk then nons? If so, what can we do to minimize it. I hope to see you there!

Hi everyone. Just got back from the WTC social get together tonight with several members. We had good companionship and talk. We did miss YOU though. We all hope you can make the next meeting, a regular meeting on Saturday, May 14 at 7:00 PM. Remember, we meet the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month.

Susan
