I've been away from Houston for eight years and a lot of things have happened since I moved to Louisville in 2001.

In addition to having a light rail system in town which is currently being expanded, the city's population has now topped 2.2 million people.    We have our second female mayor in Annise Parker, and we have a transwoman running for Houston City Council in this current political cycle.

And yeah, while I was gone in 2006 I became the first African American trans Texan and trans Houstonian to pick up an IFGE Trinity Award.
