Hey there,
We're looking for transgender, transsexual, intersex, anrdogyne etc. writers of any age who are willing to post at least once of twice a month on our blog Freedom Requires Wings. We believe that to run an online collab, be it a blog or a YouTube channel, it's vital to show everyone's points of view. It's important, especially on our blog which helps questioning/coming out teenagers, to show that everybody has a voice. Unfortunately, it seems some people forget the meaning of "LGBT" and it becomes more of a "GL" community. This has to change and we believe that everybody should have an equal platform to share their points of view on. That's why we have created our LGBT collab blog.
You can find all the details and requirements for your application here: http://bit.ly/FRW-apply (http://bit.ly/FRW-apply)
We're really looking forward to hearing from you! :)
EDIT (March 12th 2012): We still have places open for transgender, transsexual and intersex writers!

Hello again!
Just to bump this thread back up as we're now looking for another transgender writer. One left today because he couldn't find the time to post, so his space is open to anyone who wants to fill it!
Once again, you can find all the details and requirements for your application here: http://bit.ly/FRW-apply. (http://bit.ly/FRW-apply.)

Are you looking for any specific topics? I'm transgender (MTF).
Hi gennee,
As it says on the details page, "You'll get your own account on our blog with full privileges to post whenever you want, about any LGBT-related topic you choose."
As long as it's LGBT-related then there's no problem. You just have to be able to post quite regularly. You don't have to post just about transgender topics either. Anyone can report on something in the news if they're stuck for topic ideas. We do like to post from personal experience sometimes. Our site is aimed towards people who are questioning/coming out. Personal experiences are helpful to them (no matter how dramatic or dull) and they can often be useful to reassure them if they find they're in a similar situation.
I hope we'll hear from you soon! :)
Best wishes,
Patrick
