Ryan Sallans, activist and author, transitioned from female to male in 2005 and has recounted his life experiences in his newly released memoir, Second Son: Transitioning Toward My Destiny, Love and Life.

Since he began he has been committed to education surrounding medical, legal and social issues related to the transgender community. This blog serves as a guide and resource for individuals seeking guidance in the transgender community or for friends, family, lovers and partners who are eager to learn more about how a transition may impact the individual's life and those around them.

If meeting me on the street or passing me by in a department store, I’m sure Mitt would define me as a man. If he saw me with my girlfriend, I’m sure he would say,  those are the type of people that should marry, a man and a woman.

What would he do and what argument would he have if I leaned over to him and said that I was born female and had transitioned to male? How would he then change the statement that he gave reporters yesterday?…”I have the same view on marriage that I had when I was governor,” Romney said. “I believe marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman…” 

In the end, Mitt…what really defines a “man” or a “woman”? How many ways will you twist and turn the definition to fit your narrow-minded view of gender?

In the end, Mitt….why the f*ck should you care about other people’s relationships?

In the end, Mitt….you harm yourself more by NOT recognizing the power of LGBT relationships, our families, and our need, like all other tax payers in this country, to be protected.
