| Manifesto "Dyudrok" |
[24 Oct 2008|03:07pm] |
(New Experimental Art)
1. In connection with the so-called global crisis art movement "POP-REVOLUTION"
(with the partial assistance of ART-REVOLUTION) and the artist Artyom Suslov
as well as several other free artists decided to create and implement the concept of
promotion of new art "Dyudrok."
The essence of this art is to re-establish the own way of avant-garde and surrealism.
Dyudrok included any avant-garde and modern art with blurred boundaries of genres and
unlimited fantasy of the author.
At the moment, the world economic system as well as world political system infringe
on the majority of rights, freedoms, opportunities and even hopes of man.
In this regard, decreasing the creative capacity of most people because
it decreases the level and scope of vision as well as the hope of translating its
into reality. At the time of the current crisis, a simple man forgets about high ideals,
he dreams at a low level. Dyudrok must to protect people from objective reality.
We believe - the objective reality that is at this level of crisis can and should move to
second place. We have the right to push it into second place if we give to the man a
new reality, which will carry the title of "objective". what is now "objective" will take
second place, or just disappear for a man.
Accordingly, we believe that everyone, regardless of his religious beliefs, his status in
the society, and regardless of the sanctions, which in future could be taken against the
"Dyudrok" has the right to go to the new reality at any time, partially or completely .
2. In our view, any human rights organization and any commission or authority that
to deal with human rights have the obligation to protect the right of every adult
in the transition, partial or complete, in a different reality.
3. If the man who entirely gone in a different reality according with the laws of this reality
can no longer be capable - this is his personal decision as the new reality does not contradict
the existing laws and not causing harm to anyone. Neither does the campaign leading cause harm.
No one is obliged to support the individual's life in old reality when he left a letter of
advice (note) with the signatures of witnesses.
4. The departure of a reality, as well as assistance in this, not an injury to humans,
because the only thing involved in this process - the human imagination.
But imagination does not belong to the bodi, as well as the experiments of the imagination
is not harmful for the rights of mental functions.
Accordingly, there is no room for any regulations on the intentional infliction of harm or death to
humans. Also note that imagination is fully subject to his master.
5. Relatives and friends of man who passed away in a different reality have the right to challenge the
decision through the courts or through the human rights organizations and and demand to return
him to the reality in which they are located. In doing so, c. 5 is partly contrary to the core - 1 item,
and further debate on this soil can be resolved only in the mutual agreement of the parties.
6. As Dyudrok is not limited with anything and depends only on the human imagination,
it does not conflict with any law and religious customs.
7. For the same reason (not limited and opportunity
giving own properties) Dyudrok and concept its development
and its veneration is not any organization or religion
nor the political movement. Because Dyudrok do not have its own symbols and beliefs.
The author of the Manifesto is Artyom Suslov.

I'm having a very difficult time lately living my life as a Pre-Op MtF. I want surgery so badly.... yet I lack the funding for it. Does anyone know of any places that grant money for such surgeries, or offer loans or such? Or any philantopist organizations I could possibly contact about funds for GRS surgery? Any help is greatly appreciated.

LOGO ANNOUNCES ONLINE WINNER FOR RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE
“Nina Flowers”chosen as online finalist to compete on Logo’s RuPaul’s Drag Race.
NEW YORK, NY – September 9, 2008 – Logo, a division of Viacom Inc.’s (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) MTV Networks, today announced after two months of fierce competition and online voting on RuPaul's Drag Race, a winner has been chosen to be one of the competitors for RuPaul’s Drag Race, Logo’s new competition reality series starring RuPaul in the search for America’s next superstar drag queen that will premiere in January 2009.
After two months of glam, glitter and show-stopping performances, “Nina Flowers” of Denver, Colorado was chosen to be one of nine competitors for RuPaul’s Drag Race. Beginning on May 13, 2008 the fight to become the next drag superstar began online with the official RuPaul’s Drag Race casting website. Aiming to fill the last coveted position as one of the nine contestants for this one-of-a-kind competition reality series, 762 stage divas and sound sirens joined online, garnering over 600,000 votes.
With over 285,000 daily visitors, and about 3 million overall page views in just eight weeks, RuPaulsDragRace.com proved to be one of the most groundbreaking events in drag history. Drag performing hopefuls submitted user-generated content including videos, blogs and photos to win the hearts of voters. After three rounds of lip-synching to their favorite pop artists, submitting music videos and other showing their inner “Supermodel,” Nina Flowers was chosen as the winner.
The eight, one-hour episode series is expected to debut on Logo’s digital cable channel in early 2009. Joining RuPaul as judge, fashion journalist and author Merle Ginsberg and Bravo’s Project Runway fan favorite Santino Rice will decide who deserves to be the next up-and-coming drag queen superstar.
The most famous drag queen in the world, RuPaul will host, mentor and judge this one-of-a-kind reality competition. Playing a dual role, RuPaul, the drag queen, will reign supreme in all judging and eliminations, while RuPaul, the man, will help guide the contestants as they prepare for each challenge. The show will gather the next generation of outrageous, up-and-coming drag queens to fight for the title (and tiara) as top drag queen.

| Poor transguy in NYC |
[28 Aug 2008|08:36am] |
Yo everyone, heads up!
Wanted to know how other folk get around when jobs find reasons to fire, dismiss and well, simply not hire for being trans and alt. You know how that goes, right: they say it ain't the case of your sex orientation or gender identity but you get followed around and profiled for sneezing the wrong way and opening the door with your left hand.
What do people do? Any recourse to action? Anybody got parents who don't give a damn and wish for you to die out as soon as possible?

The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition is pleased to announce the release of its 2008 GENIUS Survey in partnership with Ernst & Young. GenderPAC works to ensure that classrooms, communities and workplaces are safe for everyone to learn, grow and succeed.
The Gender Equality National Index for Universities & Schools (GENIUS), GenderPAC’s most recent effort to end discrimination and promote awareness, encourages colleges and universities to recognize the benefits of a GenderSAFE campus - supportive equitable and protective for all students. Choosing to participate in GENUIS sends a strong public statement that bullying or discriminating based on the race, sex or gender of a student, faculty, or staff member is not tolerated at your institution
Fill out the survey at: www.gpac.org/GENIUS2008survey, and make sure that we have data for as many schools as possible. Your voice will help us continue to work towards a safe and welcoming environment for every student

| $25 Free for opening an account |
[01 May 2008|02:34pm] |
Mods, please advise if this isn't allowed. I admit that I am posting this here because I will receive a benefit if people participate in the offer, but it isn't just spam. This worked for me.
This company wants to be the next Paypal, and they have a lot of start-up cash which they are spending on giving people bonuses for signing up. They offer $25 free for signing up with them, and then pay you $10 per person that you refer to them, up to $500. If you click the link below to get your account, they will pay me a $10 referral. Then if you share this offer with others before May 15, you can earn referral money. If you know a lot of people, it could be a good way to get some money to use toward transition expenses.
They do seem legit. They have already paid me my $25. Just be careful to read the the terms and conditions and other things that most people usually don't read. If you click the wrong button and ask for more than $25, it will make the offer null and void.

On January 15th I did a post on Genderqueer mentioning how I'd created a petition on the No.10 website, -So that all the British genderqueers and their allies can lobby their government to legally recognise the fact that *not everybody* fits perfectly into the currently available gender categories of male and female.
I've just recieved an e-mail from the number 10 petition team It said that my petition has been approved by the Number 10 web team, and is now available on the Number 10 website at the following address:
