I want to transition, how do I start? How do I know if a therapist is trans friendly? What are the possible effects of HRT going to be on my sex life? How do I come out to my friends and family? What's "dating while trans" like? How do I know what surgeries to get? Do I really need to get any? I'm going out with guy/girl who doesn't know I'm trans, when should I tell him/her? Should I even be trying to date while in the midst/just starting transition? What's the best way to tell my parents and make them understand? What's your opinion on self-medding? Maybe something about the timeframe it took between realizing they were trans and actually transitioning, and how they dealt with that? Could you ask her about her (J) experiences in the military?

Well now we need your help with daily votes on Podcastawards.com. Twitter it, Facebook it, tell your friends and family. We need everyone’s help if we are going to represent the T in the LGBT. The Philadelphia Experiemtn, AKA project Rainbow, was according to legend an attempt to make a ship disappear during ww2 and so fitting a title here as, when needed to step up, Equality Forum of Philadelphia also disappeared! In this episode we talk with Peterson Toscano an ex-gay survivor, blogger, playwright, and regular part of our show, Autumn Sandeen from the LGBT blog Pam's House Blend, and Ethan Saint Pierre from TransFM and how Equality Forum of Philadelphia (An LGB...(t) organization) when alerted that their vigil for Jorge Lopez Mercado conflicted with the Transgender Day of Remembrance Ceremony. Not only did they not know it was the day of transgender day of remembrance but when Peterson let them know and suggested they reschedule since it might seem insensitive to memorialize one person on a night when 161 others are being memorialized, they refused. In failing to reach them this way, Peterson suggested Executive Director Malcolm Lazin lead a procession to TDOR so that both communities could mourn together. Malcolm Lazin failed to serve the entire LGBT community through his actions and did not meet with us on the show as her first said he would. Peterson spent some time talking with Malcolm Lazin and the organization Equality Forum failed to see how a gender transgressing gay male (i.e. wearing a dress at the time of murder) was an intersection of both the gay and transgender communities (in the umbrella sense of the word) and prevented the trans community from participating in their vigil by means of the scheduling. We find this unaccepatable and an LGBT fail. We discuss some time about hate crimes, why often gender variance in gays is the subject of anti-transgender violence, and why ALL gender variant people whether they are gender transgressing gays, straights, male identified, female identified, drag, transsexual, and partners of trans folk, are ALL memorialized on Transgender Day of Remembrance.

From TEEI to outreach for TGSF, Zoe has her cute little fingers in every little bit of the community pie! We also discuss things like reports of National Equality March failing to actually include trans people in decision making and strategy calls. Not a good sign if we are already hearing they are blundering equality within their own organization! To us that doesn’t sound like equality… it sounds like tokenism! We discuss the idea of representation within LGBT circles and trans inclusion and diversity, community involvement, outreach, community divisiveness, transition in the workplace, and much much more.

In Episode 134 we talk with Kate Lynn Blatt, which many in the trans community were outraged to hear about the request of her employers Manpower Temporary Services and Sapa Industrial Extrusions in their entirely inappropriate request to have her show pictures of her genitals as a condition of continued employment. Would it be easier if we just put pictures of our genitals on our driver's license for Manpower? Degrading treatment like this cannot be tolerated. Stand up and let these business know such as Manpower that this is not acceptable and that we as the LGBT community will not stand down. We also discuss coming out and living as trans in the coal belt, trans acceptance, and more! Also check out our fantastic sponsor Panyhosenow.com!

We discuss the recent rise in cis-gender women getting surgeries that are usually reserved for Trans-Women during SRS. Focus on the Family is going broke, and we enjoy giving everyone the news. Mila goes on a rant about the one letter difference between Tyranny and a certain word that is used to put down trans people, and why we should care that about that little letter Y. We wrap it up with a story of a failed hate crime/attempted murder in the sex change capitol of the world, that left the attacker looking like an incompetent moron, and the victim wondering why their hairdryer was wet?

We get a belated anniversary voicemail, discuss an email question from a cis str8 ally, discuss Angie Zapata's killer's myspace page, and a bilerico posting on sexuality invokes discuss about how the fear of being alone discourages transition yet the stigma of sexual reasons for transition remain.
