TDoV 2018

[Megan.]

What if any plans do members have to mark TDoV this year?

I'll be manning a stall at my office this Thursday handing out cakes to raise awareness. I did the same last year but I was still presenting male at work back then so was a little less 'visible' [emoji5]

My wife and I will probably go to a local farmer's market on Saturday.  In addition to my normal visibility of just being myself, I'll probably wear some trans paraphernalia like a trans-triangle pendant and/or a trans flag button.

I should show more activism... but it will be Easter Egg hunting and Bunny photos with our little one.
Except... last year I was super jealous: both her and and my wife where wearing pretty dresses. I was wearing Jeans.
This year... I'll be wearing a pretty dress too. Being out, being visible.

I have to admit that this kind of gatherings still make me nervous, you never know how other parents will react. But I am a proud trans women and I plan to show it.

Oh I think I will be visible running all around the country.   Spreading the Laurie around if you will.

I often think just living out in the world and interacting with people in day to day life is about the best thing we can do to normalise things for others.

Yes, I completely agree. The more people see us having a normal life / career / family, the more they understand that we are normal and not a threat. One day it will just become a non-issue. Which is what we need to hide that we are actually all aliens

Will be working. Kids coming up for Easter so might be going out for supper.  Been full time since August so it would be just the usual every day being out in the world living my life.

Maybe the right time for that Facebook post?

I actually thought about that too...

[Megan.]

I'd hoped to do my FB post on TDoV last year but the timing just didn't fall right. Don't pressure yourself to fit a random date if it's not right for you. X

I'm thinking about doing the "Ask a transgender person anything" deal.

Do you just hang a sign around your neck?

That's what I'm thinking.

We need an extra thread for that. I have a brand new one to add...

I was interviewed by someone for it the video will be released for it Exciting.

Also I've been beavering away writing a book, which I was going to publish on Amazon (self publish), but due to a positive change in circumstances (very positive) I won't be publishing it now. I'm hoping to just circulate it when appropriate as a PDF file and am still hoping to have this ready for the 31st

I hope everyone has fun doing whatever they're doing (or not doing).

The timing is right for me.  I've basically been full time since I came out at work last August and my name change was legal last week.  It would be coming out to my wife's extended family so I want to make sure she's ok with it happening that way.  It would be nice if I could make it work for TDoV but I can wait.

I'm probably working, but I'll likely add all manner of trans related badges to my work apron.

Might even start writing a trans-related short story I keep procrastinating about, after work.
