This is Transgender Awareness Week. November 20 is typically the Day of Remembrance. It has always been hard to find a ceremony in the Indianapolis area. The first TDOR I went to was way back in 2009. While there has been progress in public awareness and acceptance, I'm not sure things have gotten better over 10 years regarding violence and discrimination. At least in the United States, it may actually be worse for some...

I'll be having a get together at my house next Wednesday.

For those who are still interested, here is an article I found on CNN this morning. Featuring many who have made a difference. There is a lot to feel good about:

Rodrigo Alves, long known as the “Human Ken Doll,” has come out as transgender according a January 7, 2020 article by the "Washington Blade."

Alves has said she prefers the name "Roddy" and plans to undergo addtional surgery this year.

From the "New York Post":

“I’m known as Ken but inside I’ve always felt like Barbie,” said Alves. “I finally feel like the real me. Glamorous, beautiful and feminine.”

“For years I tried to live my life as a man. I had a fake six-pack put in, I had fake muscles in my arms, but I was lying to myself,” she says. “I’m a woman and have always had a feminine brain. Now my body matches my mind.”

She’s been enjoying the male attention her new female looks get her, and is excited to finish her transformation with gender reassignment surgery.

“I will have a penile inversion and my testicles will be removed. That will be the final step,” says the former flight attendant. “Before that I’m having silicone breast implants. I’ll be able to wear dresses that show my cleavage and look sexy. I’m very excited.”

Alves realized she wanted to transition during a photo shoot last year, she says, but she’s long been aware of certain feminine tendencies.

“Growing up, I was very feminine and used to play with dolls and wear my mum’s dresses and heels,” she says, adding that she had breasts as a kid, due to her body producing more estrogen than most males.

“Within a month I was diagnosed with gender dysmorphic disorder and given the option to start the *appropriate medication to transition,” she says. “Before, people looked at me because I looked very androgynous and weird for a man. Now I hope they are looking because they think I am a beautiful woman.”

Best wishes Roddy!
