http://www.jenniferboylan.net/2010/09/13/notes-on-southern-comfort-gender-conference-2010/I am just back from the 2010 Southern Comfort Gender Conference in Atlanta. I've been going to this event for good few many years now, since I gave the keynote address in 2005. Every year is little different.
I went down there hoping to see a handful of old friends, as well as a couple new ones. In the latter category are a couple–Chelsea and Ruby from Vancouver–whom I was meeting for the first time. Sort of. In fact Chelsea, formerly Chip, was a member of my high school class. Given the fact that I went to a supposedly all-male school, and that there were only 68 members of my graduating class, the fact that there are two of us who have emerged as trans is more than a little interesting.
