And on a completely opposite note, one of the most vital voices to trans activism, theory, understanding and narrative discussion is Questioning Transphobia.  Emily and Lisa have put a call out for help, saying:

    Lisa and I are both struggling to survive.  Both of us are unemployed.  I don't have money for food this next fortnight–let alone internet or hormone treatments.  Lisa has a staph infection she can't afford to see a doctor for, and no money for hormones either.

Ok, so we hate to do this, but it's necessary.  It's hard to ask for help, even when you're desperate.
