This past weekend, I was at the LGBT blogging summit with Pam, and a whole lot of other bloggers that others have mentioned. Yesterday, I spent in bed "recovering" -- today wasn't much better. To say I don't travel well is quite an understatement.

Anywho, I participated as a panel member for one of the breakout sessions where Helen Boyd was the moderator. The topic for the session was diversity.

In one of my answers to a question (I can't remember what the question was!), I mentioned some trans employment statitics, as well as that intersection of race and transgender status with regards to HIV+ status. Fellow panelist Serena Freewomyn asked in an email yesterday for references for the statistics I quoted.

So, below is what I wrote her, with links to references included:
