From the Angie Zapata memorial that took place last night, comes this video (taken by Autumn Sandeen from Pam’s House Blend) of supporters talking about why they showed up at the memorial.
It’s a moving video, one that speaks of generations of violence and murder and love and tenderness and compassion. I hope we can all be as brave as the people on the video are–people who experience violence and fear, but still have the courage and strength to be vulnerable to love and compassion.
Spainish Parliament Could Make Trans Life Easier

Life for many transgender people in Spain could get a little bit easier thanks to a bill passed by the lower house of Spain’s parliament in Madrid. The bill would let transsexuals change their officially registered gender from male to female or vice versa without undergoing sex-change surgery. There are a few hurdles that need to be jumped though. First the Spanish
Senate needs to pass the bill. Additionally:
Transsexuals who want to change their gender listing in civil registries will need a doctor’s certificate stating they have been diagnosed as having a gender-identity disorder that they believe they were born the wrong sex. They must change their first name to one of the other sex at the same time.Another condition is that the person must prove they have undergone hormonal or other medical treatment for at least two years to encourage the change of identity. Transsexuals unable to receive treatment due to age or health problems will be exempted. Applicants must be aged 18 or older.
