- Who are you? (Creative answers encouraged!)
- I am a girl. I am an activist. I am involved and only important in the ways that I can help my sisters and brothers and gender queer family, otherwise of no importance.

- Chair of Minnesota Gender Advocates
Upper Midwest Regional Director of the World Gender Coalition
Member of the Transgender Commission of the U of Minnesota

Gender is a wholly natural expression in all its forms and mismatches are medical issues not mental disorders. Interested in equality for all. and insisting on our right to humanity.

ANTI PROP 8 PROTESTS
Anti-Prop 8 protests - by Leigh Smythe
Part of the National network of protest against Marriage Equality - Nov. 15, 2008
Today, on a chilly grey day in Minneapolis and St. Paul groups gathered to demand marriage equality. I was in St. Paul on the front steps of the state capitol, with between 80 and 100 people.

So, I guess that's why you joined HRC, to serve Satan directly and to condemn his minions? Strange strategy.
The votes were there for passage, but they weren't there to stop a parliamentary maneuver that killed the entire bill.
Who am I? I'm Marti Abernathey, owner of Transadvocate, the first Transgender Delegate from Indiana, and I could give a long list of what I've given to the transgender community, but what's it matter? I speak a truth... an ugly truth, that NCTE, or NGLTF is no more your friend than HRC. They've been working with HRC and Frank and continue to do so. I'd rather serve Satan, than serve one of his minions.
