Recommendation: Accepting Dad

A little while ago I was recommended a blog called “Accepting Dad“, and I have since then been watching it to see why it was recommended to me. I have to say that even though I don’t agree with all of his theories, and ideas, I’ve been super impressed by the authors honesty, integrity, and genuine desire to do the best he can by his kid.

So I’m recommending to all of you as well, take a look at this blog. If you are the parent of a queer or trans kid, follow it, find strength and community in it. Every kid deserves a parent who’s willing to try this hard.

Here’s a quote to whet your appetite:

At first, they’re so young, so innocent, it’s hard to say no. It’s just a doll. Just a pink blanket. Everyone assures you too, that it doesn’t mean a thing. Everyone knows someone who was just like that, just like your kid, and now he’s fine, working the super-pro wrestling circuit as a seven-foot tall, 300 pound steroid giant. Or he’s a trucker, or a fireman, or some other manly member of the Village People. Normal! Super normal! Not a drag queen, anyway!

No, it doesn’t mean a thing.

Except, after a year, or two, or three you know it does. Now, you’re the parent—what are you going to to do about it?

Read the rest here.

New Events Page and other Web Updates

I’m sure that no one else cares nearly as much as I do about each and every little thing I do to the website, but I like to keep folk in the loop.

You can see our new events page layout now. We have a lot of events coming up in the next couple of months, and now they are displayed in style. Remember, if you are hosting a trans friendly event, we are more than happy to advertise it for you on our website.

The other addition to the website in the last couple of days, is the Legal Information section. There’s not much there yet, but there is a couple of bits of legislation that are handy for people that are changing their name, or sex documentation.

I think I’m finally getting the hang of this website biz.

October Picnic Fun

We had our October picnic on Saturday. The weather was beautiful, the food delicious, and the company fun! We had some new faces there, so it was nice to chill out and make some new friends.

We wont be having any more events for a couple of weeks, as the SpringOut Pride festival swiftly approaches. Watch this space for advertisements for our events during November though!
