ezs note: Here in Connecticut, things are really OK for me. In this state, transgender men and women can live in relative peace. Even with Trump coming into the White House, there is a solid wall protecting me and others. However, I realize that things aren't so lucky for others. Not all Republicans are so dense - but they make up a LARGE majority. Which is where YOU come in. At the VERY least, you should call or email YOUR Congressperson. If he/she visits your area, go if at all possible and SPEAK.

Why? Because it's YOUR right - don't throw it away!

Livin' in Connecticut - Watertown

Well, this is a change of pace. I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece. But I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries. Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance. But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks. And it's free! Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same. If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise. If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight. Thanks.

Livin' in Connecticut!

Burlington, CT

ezs note: If you live in Central Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and Waterbury. Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people a letter. Thanks.

If you live outside of Connecticut, but have a friend who lives here, please tell them. Once again, thanks.
