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.

Researcher: Gay-Straight Alliances Key To Reducing Teen Suicide Attempts Gay and straight teens who live in socio-politically conservative areas are more likely to attempt suicide, and the degree of an area’s political conservatism reflects the degree teens — gay or straight — are likely to attempt suicide.

This is research that I’ve used in previous work but have happily stumbled upon again. I think this is helpful for communities when talking about acceptance. PEOPLE DO BETTER WHERE THERE IS LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE FOR ALL, NOT SOME OR CERTAIN GROUPS, BUT ALL GROUPS.
