There is a new support group for people partnered with someone with is in the midst of a gender transition. From the press release: Is your partner considering or in the process of gender transition? Would you like a space to talk about what this means for you? Renegotiating the terms and context of a relationship can be difficult. This 6-week group is open to women whose partners are transitioning and identify along a male spectrum The group will offer support for those who are coping with the changing identity of their partner and their relationship. Topics will include identity, communication, gender, sexuality, culture and social support systems. This is a queer-friendly space and affirming of all sexual orientations, race and ability. Transfolks are most definitely welcome as are ciswomen. While the group isn’t open to cismen this time, if we hear from the community that there is a need and an interest they can/will do it in the future.

This group is offered in conjunction with Chicago Women’s Health Center and Center on Halsted (COH). For more information or to register, call COH at 773-472-6469 x279. There is a $5 suggested donation for each session.

Trans Tube

Argentinian Ad for a Bank

I’ve was sent some interesting European televison ads with sensitive protrayals of trans gender identity. It’s a little jarring when the products are plugged but still pretty incredible to think that these were aired on TV. After poking around ye olde youtube, I found some other vids worth posting.


Italian ad for Campari


Transgender Children – Out of the Shadows

This one seemed to be a Public Service type of film for educational purposes.


The best was this youtube channel for Laidbaqq, a young black trans man’s video blog about his present experiences, challenges and questions. In this video, he responds to people who think they know who is and who is not trans based on physical traits and hormone taking.
