I went to Northampton today. I got some footage of the town with a few inches of snow on the ground. I realized how much good footage I could have gotten this summer if I had only had a camera on long term lease. even though the footage wasn't nearly as good as it would have been during the summer, I felt pretty good about what I got. Soon, I will edit together a preview clip with it.
While I was in town, I went to visit Bet Power, the curator of the Sexual Minorities Archives. He is doing somewhat better even though he has a serious lung/throat/larynx condition. He has tons of doctors visits coming up. I went to Florence to check the mail for the East Coast FTM group and the archives. Then we chatted for a bit. He can speak if he whispers. He seemed really appreciative of the help. I'm hoping he gets better soon.

The Project
The Transgender Oral History Project emerged out of my personal search for community as a questioning young activist. I moved to Northampton, MA and immediately got involved with organizing New England Transgender Pride. The more I came to see our efforts as one to create and fortify community, the more I began to question the notion of a unified LGBT community. I was curious about the efforts trans people before us, but the answers I found in written queer histories were obscure and insubstantial. I decided to do an oral history project in order to capture the stories and voices of aging members of the trans community before it was too late.
Most of the material from the project is available at my website. Check out the links below!
