I just attended the first ever Winnipeg Transgender Pride March and Rally. There were far more people - hundreds - than attended the first Gay and Lesbian Pride event I participated in here (and doesn't "Gay and Lesbian Pride" date me!). There were celebrants of all flavours (Canadian spelling there, eh?) of sex, gender, identity and sexuality, our friends, family and supporters - indeed, it was a lot like most LGBTQI* Pride events - but it was special, being about our gender and sex identities. Oh, and there were no parade floats.
This caught my eye on the BBC news website: a bridal shop in Japan has discovered a demand for bridal photo shoots - for men. I thought, hey, that looks like the germ of a good story, should anyone want it!
Hi! I'm working on a sticky block and somehow found myself searching through my memory for a story I once read, but have lost somewhere... I think it's in my amygdala, but I could be lost even there...
The story was about a teenaged boy - trans, at it turns out (!) - hoodwinked into a girl's identity by his cousins, who finds herself a TV (sic) weather girl, and then a reporter, and finally a news anchor, all in one summer.
Does anyone remember this chestnut? Your help would be appreciated.
