Transgender on Dr. Oz

This is the best, most concise and unbiased show about MtF transition that I have seen to date on television - Thanks Dr. Oz!

Here's the link to part one of the show:

The video below is just the trailer.

Hugs and Blessings,

I'm sorry about the link - When I find one to the show itself I'll re-poat. Apparently it takes a few weeks before they post the whole show on-line.

Ladies,

Here is the link to Part 1 at Dr. Oz' website, with the other parts listed there. You may want to use a computer wired to your internet rather than wireless as it tended to freeze up a bit at times when my wife and I watched it. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/transgender-families-america-pt-1

Great job Brynne and THANK YOU for you and your lovely Wife for being on the show and giving the world such a positive portrayal. It means a lot to so many and as someone who cannot transition yet and is trying to stay with her wife, you give me hope! I'm doing my best and taking my time. I hope and pray to be where you are at some day. : )

Best,

Karin (imjustagirlithink.blogspot.com)

BTW, Eva-Genevieve - THANK YOU for running and maintaining the Yahoo Trans Families group. I reached out to you in the beginning and the perspective, inspiration and advice you gave me via e-mail helped me to hang on and survive. You did that by being there for me. : )

Any Body, Everybody, Christ’s Body…

…was the theme at this years National Gathering of the UCC Coalition for LGBT Concerns this year in San Diego (July 14 –17). There were about 125 attendees from all across the US and we even had folks from other countries. Several topics were discussed including ways to make Church accessible to all – many physical and mental challenges were included in this discussion as well as LGBT concerns, Mentoring Queer youth – the emphasis being the need for all of us to be mentors as we are able and that we all have something to teach others, Advocacy & Empowerment, OnA Next Steps: Telling Our Stories, and also a panel discussion on including “transgender” and gender expression more specifically in OnA statements, and immigration issues too – far more issues and information than one person could take in or even list here.

Starting Wednesday afternoon we jumped right in with a very lively worship service with wonderful music and through the course of the gathering we heard many inspiring speakers and participated in several “breakout” workshop sessions. We broke into small discussion groups daily, heard many points of view on important topics, and made many friends in the process. On our last evening the General Minister and President of the UCC, the Revered Geoffrey Black was the keynote speaker at the banquet. My favorite speaker at the conference was Felix Carrion who often contributes to the UCC’s “Stillspeaking” on-line daily Devotional. We ended the conference Saturday morning with another lively worship service and dismissed just in time for several of us to rush over and march in San Diego’s Pride parade with the Mission Hills UCC Church and Bloom in the Desert Ministries (also UCC affiliated). I brought back lots of things to discuss in upcoming Mission Board meetings, but more than anything else it is the personal connections that made the conference very worthwhile. I feel a part of something much larger now – there was so much positive, hopeful energy shared there. I felt so very warmly welcomed by everyone and I believe that my input there was greatly valued as well. And, of course, I made an impression with my array of colorful dresses and hats too! (Would you expect anything less)? I was so blessed for being allowed to represent First Congregational Church in Riverside at this Gathering.

Follow this link to pictures from the event -the photos are in no particular order and a few shots of the fire that broke out behind the motel where I was staying.

Hugs and Blessings,

Eva-Genevieve!
