Apologies for not posting much at all this year. I started dating C about six months ago and have enjoyed spending a significant amount of time with her.
She and I went to the Transgender Law Center's fundraiser recently and, while there, I spoke briefly with Masen Davis, TLC's Executive Director. He mentioned that some of the same people behind Prop 8 are now going after trans-kids. California recently passed Assembly Bill 1266 which provides some equal protections to trans-kids. The bill goes into effect on January 1, 2014 and was co-sponsored by the Transgender Law Center. TLC secures much of their money from grants and donations, and to take on the Prop 8 people will not be cheap. If you can spare any funds, please donate.
Also, I ran across another article about the chairman of Jelly Belly donating money against the California law that protects trans-kids. Really? Sigh. I loved those jelly beans and, now, well, I'm done with them. At least my dentist will be happier. There is even a petition on Change.org to get our Jelly Belly's back. If you have time, please sign.

Trader Joes has some decent jelly beans. They're made in ireland and are really quite good. This story made me sad too when I heard it.
