Nun gets to talk about herself in public.

I found out through MyCo's TBLG employee group that the Unitarian church in Woodinville was looking for an MTF trans person for a panel discussion with junior high students. Who loves to talk about herself to strangers? Who has a lot of exposure to kids (one in particular) that age? I do, that's who. So I'll see them on Sunday the 11th.

I'm seriously jazzed about this; I've been looking for an opportunity like it for months. Said the lady running the show, I need to tell my story in five minutes with an emphasis on the early years. Then I answer questions. She said that the T's will be in a separate session from the L's, the G's, and the B's, because she knows from past experience that were she to put us all together, the questions for the T's would dominate. Heh.

Uh, it's just a couple of hours after zappy. I might want to ice my face so I don't look as if I've been attacked by bees.

And Unitarians can be a great audience too. I have friends who are super-active in their Unitarian church & are always speaking on LGBT issues, civil rights, etc. Good on ya!
