This has been a great archive of my transformation from kid into adult, and of my increasing awareness of pretty much everything. Since I'm essentially locked out, I'm leaving to start a new blog. I was reluctant at first because I didn't want to lose everything I've built here, but this is actually perfect timing...letting go is easier than I thought. I'm guessing most of you won't care or won't read this; I'm mostly writing this for myself :) But thank you to those of you who follow me that do care :) thanks for following for the last five years. -Cheryl

The judge basically told us that we had 8 witnesses and that it would essentially be a waste of time because she had already made her mind up. Yes, she had already made her mind up and I never had a single chance to testify on my behalf, none of my witnesses had a chance to testify, and none of the evidence I had compiled and spent so much money and time on was even looked at.

Help Finley Fawn!  Her abusive ex is trying to get sole custody of their six year old, whom she’s had his whole life, and the judge has agreed on the basis that Fawn is a cam model.  The judge told Fawn it was pointless to testify, and has now reduced her visitation to thirty hours a month. 

Fawn is beggaring herself to fight this, PLEASE help her and spread this!

don’t allow someone to treat you poorly just because you love them

Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just … start.

Lili Elbe

Elbe was a Danish artist and illustrator and one of the first trans women to undergo gender confirmation surgery. […]

Her case became a sensation in both Germany and Denmark and a Danish court invalidated her marriage to Gottlieb. She was able to get her sex and name legally changed.

Elbe began a relationship with French art dealer Claude Lejeune, with whom she wanted to marry and have children, and was looking forward to her final surgery involving a uterus transplant, so that they could one day have children.

With no medication to prevent organ rejection, she did not recover from her final operation and died September 13, 1931 […] Elbe’s life is the subject of the 2015 Oscar nominated film “The Danish Girl”.

She also composed the scores for both, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining as well as Disney’s Tron.

Tracy Norman

Tracey “Africa” Norman was the first black trans fashion model, though she hid the secret of her gender identity as she rose through the industry in the 1970s. Norman was recruited for the Italian version of Vogue and quickly became a model, appearing in magazines and advertisements for such brands as Avon and Clairol. Norman said that she only went into modeling to avoid sex work, which she thought of as the only other outlet for a black trans woman from Newark, New Jersey, who had just begun taking hormones.

Around 1980, an assistant on an Essence magazine photo shoot who recognized her from Newark exposed her secret, and Norman stopped getting modeling work after that. She worked abroad in Paris and Milan before moving back to Newark, and only decided this year to tell her true story.

Sally Mursi

In 1988, Egyptian Sally Mursi sent a shockwave through the Muslim World when she changed her sex from male to female in Egypt. The case led to such a crisis in the country that the Grand Mufti was asked to decide on it. Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy, the Grand Mufti, released a fatwa, making it spiritually legal for a transgendered individual to change to his or her appropriate gender.

Martine Rothblatt

Martine Rothblatt is a lawyer, author and entrepreneur. She also happens to be the highest paid female executive in the US, and for good reason. She was a leading proponent of satellite communications, as well as former CEO of the Geostar Corporation and founder of Sirius Satellite Radio.

In 2006 Iwamoto was elected to a position on Hawaii’s state Board of Education and became (at the time) the highest-elected openly transgender official in the United States. She ran for re-election in 2010 and won. See a video of Iwamoto discussing her support of an anti-bullying bill in Hawaii by clicking here.

My favorite tweet in all of existence

[cherbearnobyl-blog]

May 17, 2016, dawn, in KOREA

A 23-year-old woman was brutally murdered by a man whom she have never met before.

The reason he killed her is because he got ignored SOCIALLY.

He expressed his anger by killing an innocent woman randomly.

The point is that she was killed just because she is a FEMALE.

However, Korean media is not covering this crime seriously.

Because crimes similar to this happen frequently.

This is a serious female violence and a social problem.

Please mourn this woman. Please bring attention. We all have a right to live in a secure world.
