- About Me:
- Lady in Evolution:
I am a Human Being who happens to have been born with a male anatomy but who leans strongly toward the feminine end of the gender spectrum.
In simpler terms, I am a woman who happens to be transgender .
I do not really care for categories when attempts are made to apply them to human beings. I know who I am, and that is good enough for me.
At this particular point in the journey of my eternal spirit, I am occupying a male body. This part of my spirit's eternal journey has been often joyful, and sometimes painful. I suspect, and I am optimistic, that the limited understanding of this body's mind has yet to realize the ultimate reason for my physical existence. All I can do, is allow my spirit to guide me to its goal, and have faith in that goal.
Everyday is a new adventure to be treasured in the present moment. This is no rehearsal.... this IS the play.
Favorite Quote: All you need is Love; Love is all you need. (Lennon/McCartney)
- Website or Twitterpage:
- http://jami-bantry.piczo.com/
- Favorite Music:
- Almost anything. I am more apt to listen to and be attracted to a song, than consistently to one particular artist or one music genre (rock, folk, pop, alternative, classical, old standards, etc.)
- Favorite TV Shows:
- I watch very little television. When I do, I watch PBS. However, I do like 24. Kiefer Sutherland is a handsome guy. Oh... but I also like the series. :-)
- Favorite Movies:
- Amelie, Ma Vie En Rose, Transamerica, An Affair to Remember, Sleepless in Seattle, North by Northwest (or almost anything with Cary Grant).
- Favorite Books:
- True Selves. Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity. Head Over Heels: Wives Who Stay With Cross-Dressers and Transsexuals. The Four Agreements. Buddhism, Plain and Simple. The Wisdom of Insecurity. Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting.
- Favorite activities:
- Playing guitar, writing songs & listening to music. Architecture. Friends. Art. Poetry. Philosophy. Computers. Travel. Shopping.
- Who i'd like to meet:
- I feel I am very open person, willing to share my feelings and experiences with anyone who is willing to listen. However, it is a "two-way street;" I enjoy learning about other people as well.
- More about me:
- Latest News: Integrating my femininity into my everyday life. Currently in a rock band, Transitt, with 2 other Trans Women, who will be performing again soon. We are currently in studio, recording our first full-length album/CD. I am also collaborating with others to perform/record. I am performing solo as well, singing/performing with my guitars; even collaborating with others in a duet or trio.
Done with electrolysis on face... ouch, but very much worth it. I was on a T-blocker and hormones (spirolactactone and estradiol) for the last 8 months and loving the feelings. I had to cease both due to current health situation. :-(
Mara Keisling is coming to Chicago!
Hi,
From the Chicago Gender Society website:
==================================
"MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! Mara Keisling is coming to Chicago! Please join us for a discussion with one of the most influential leaders in the movement for Transgender equality in America.
Transgender issues affect everyone, and especially anyone who does not conform to society's rigid stereotypes of maleness and femaleness.
Please forward this announcement to our friends in the trans, gay, and straight-allies communities; to anyone who would like to hear Mara speak, who would like to learn how laws and policies get changed, and who would like to help make equality a reality for everyone.
A Trans Discussion with Mara Keisling
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
8:45 p.m.
Stardust Banquet Hall
5688 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60646
This program is sponsored by the Chicago Gender Society and will feature Mara Keisling, Executive Director, National Center for Transgender Equality. Mara is a graduate of Penn State University and did her graduate work at Harvard University in American Government. You know her as one of the key figures who lobbied for passage of the
trans-inclusive federal hate crimes bill and ENDA, the trans-inclusive employment non-discrimination act.
Mara is touring the country to talk to us and to listen to our
concerns. The evening will focus on issues of gender identity that affect our daily lives; employment, societal exclusion, Social Security gender-record matching, a National ID card, use of the bathroom, and other issues that challenge us.
The National Center for Transgender Equality is our voice in
Washington. Come hear how Mara and her staff work to make us heard by our legislators, her plans for the future, and how you may be able to help make our collective voice even louder."
======================================
I hope that everyone who can, will attend, listen, and make your views known.
Take care; please be and ALWAYS stay, safe and well.
Huggs,
jami

How have you been feeling???
Need anything at all give me a shout.
Love
I did see this before; a friend of mine sent it to me last Oct.
There are some other frightening videos which are related to all this, particularly if you search YouTube for New World Order, National ID Card, The Secret Government, Federal Reserve, the Illuminati, and Council on Foreign Relations... and then, once you view all of them, please start "connecting the dots" for yourself.
I may be wrong, but I don't like what I feel when I "connect the dots."
Take care, GF; please be, and ALWAYS stay, safe and well.
Huggs,
