For Lou Weaver, transgender issues is more than a passion
http://www.theventureonline.com/2012/02/for-lou-weaver-transgender-issues-is-more-than-a-passion/Lou Weaver, 41, is a female-to-male transgender who has been living as a male for the past four years and has been taking testosterone, the male hormone, for the past three. Just like many other transgender, he has decided that he will not live in the shadows or feel ashamed about who he is. Weaver, the president of the board of directors for the Transgender Foundation of America, is passionate about speaking for transgender issues and fighting for transgender rights. Weaver sits on many transgender panels, has helped bring change to the University of Houston and has assisted in the addition of gender identity to HCC's non-discrimination clause.
Originally from Colorado, Weaver has been living in Houston for eight years and is a student at UH, where he is majoring in public relations with a minor in political science. At the age of 21, he survived a car accident, which left him unable to pursue higher education for a few years. He lives with his girlfriend and their beloved cat and dog. He would like to continue to pursue a career in shedding light on transgender issues; his other goal is to someday work in public relations for the Houston Dynamo.
