Continuing our series of interviews with transgender voices, I had the great pleasure of talking with Jenifer Pool. Jenifer has many "firsts" to claim: she was the first transgender person ever appointed to city of Houston commission, and appointed to the police advisory commission. She is was also the first transgender president of the LGBT political caucus and was elected for three terms. She was also the first trans co-host of Queer Voices on KPFT fm 90.1. Jenifer is currently running for city council in Houston, Texas. As is consistent with TSM blog, Jenifer is committed to social justice and is a true do-gooder. Jenifer has a brother and two sisters. She identifies as lesbian. She was kind enough to do this interview and, like me, hopes she is able to help transgender youth. I would like to thank Jenifer for her kindness, candor, and generosity of heart. Here is Jenifer's story.
