2011 Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit At UH

One of the first events I attended when I returned to the Houston area was the 2nd Annual Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit that was held on the Rice University campus.

There's been a host change, and the 3rd Annual TTNS, sponsored by the Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit and the Houston GLBT Center will return to the site of the inaugural event, the campus of the University of Houston on August 12-13.

Another change this year is that there will be a registration fee to attend the TTNS..  The Early Bird discount deadline passed on May 31, so if you wish to attend, it will be $20 for regular registration and $10 for student registration.   Another deadline that passed was the May 20 submission deadline for TTNS proposed workshops

To register by mail, send your check made payable to the Houston GLBT Community Center to:
Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit, P. O. Box 1095, Baytown, Texas 77522

The TTNS tackles TBLG issues pertinent to higher education.   Interested parties in higher education gather to discuss what works and what does not work in regards to codifying inclusion of  'gender identity and expression' into institutional policy.

The TTNS serves to find means to this end through discussion of divergent and respective strategies in regard to the inevitable barriers that always arise for LGBT students.

 Looking forward to being back on the campus of my alma mater this August.

Trans Sister Needs Bone Marrow Transplant

I met Jasmina Andino last year when I had the honor of being the grand marshal for last year's Noho Trans Pride parade.   Had a blast talking to her (and everyone else I met on that whirlwind trip) and on occasion she sends me messages updating me on what's up in her life.

This was passed on to me by a mutual FB acquaintance.

My name is Rafael Andino, and I'm desperately looking for some one who's willing to donate bone-marrow. My wife Jasmina Andino, is currently battling leukemia and needs someone with O- blood type to please donate bone-marrow.  This would help fight off her illness and safe her life. I would be forever grateful if somebody took the time to get checked and make a donation. Think about it, you could be saving someones' life. Thank you.
I love you Jasmina!

El esposo de mi amiga Jasmina a publicado esto en mi pared. Le pido a mi familia fb a considerar esto y si alguien cree en una labor de amor por favor, tomen un paso adelante y ayudar !!!!!!

Mi nombre es Rafael Andino, y estoy buscando desesperadamente a alguien que esté dispuesto a donar médula ósea. Mi esposa, Jasmina Andino, está luchando contra "leucemia" y necesita a alguien con O-tipo de sangre, que, por favor, donar médula ósea. Esto ayudaría a luchar contra su enfermedad y seguro de su vida. Estaría eternamente agradecida si alguien se tomó el tiempo para hacerse controles y hacer una donación. Piensa en ello, podría salvar la vida someones. Gracias.

Te amo Jasmina!

If you're in Jasmina's New England neck of the woods (or close), meet those parameters, are on the registry, and willing to do so, please get in contact with the Andinos or leave your contact info with me.
