100 Transpeople We Love 2008

Pam had a diary yesterday (which you can find here linking to a lovely article in Go Magazine entitled "100 Women we Love 2008".  It was a fascinatingly educational article, and I very much encourage everyone to read it.  These women are inspiring.  Now, it's been pointed out that the article was rather sparse on transwomen.  Kate Bornstein was there, and I respect her immensely, even if I don't always agree with her.  But she was by herself.

Billy Tipton, Jazz Musician.



Passed without surgery or hormone therapy for many years of his life... He's kind of a hero of mine. Jazz + living full time without any hormones. A good role model, I think. At least in that respect.

Right now I pass right about as well as he does. I look back to Billy when I'm feeling blue and remember what a successful life he had.
