Ok so visible was far more satisfying as a doc obviously it had the time to flesh things out give proper context ...kinda funny to see the same stuff covered from Disclosure from a different angle sometimes even from the same ppl i cried a whole bunch bc ppl were open in a way they weren't on Disclosure which didnt really discuss at length the real life shit happening to trans people as that representation was happening on screen. Gwen Araujo was not mentioned in either which tbh a huge fucking oversight on both parts like if ur mentioning brandon you have to mention Gwen (Visible did not mention Brandon but did mention Matthew)

Also fun to know that Asia kate dillion can be added to the list of actors for whom a character they played helped them realize who they were (the list includes Keiynan lonsdale, jake choi, others im probably forgetting lmk)

Candis cayne saying what she didnt on Disclosure that her character was killed off in a really violent way... Which tbh if i was editing that id include that. Also fleshing out why i am cait was important which like ....i saw a review saying that it was bad that Disclosure wasnt entirely negative about the show. Like idk man youre not a trans woman by your own admission...

Like thos was a show that had trans women w different sexualities, races, economic realities interacting talking things out and a good lot of the show was caitlyn getting shut down. Ppl will look down on candis for not cutting ties w caitlyn but like idk i think if youre white n you can b there to tell ur friend when they as a white woman are being shitty and you have the fortitude to do it? Yeah

Chandi Moore being on tv was important to somebody.. it was reality tv All in the Family. You can shit on that show for having archie bunker but like .... Shutting down its importance isnt doing any good

National Transgender HIV Testing Day: Review of 2016

National Transgender HIV Testing Day: Review of 2016 

Globally, transgender women are nearly 50 times more likely to be HIV positive than the general population, with transgender women of color being at highest risk for acquisition.1  One study reported a 56% HIV prevalence among black transgender women in the United States compared to a 17% prevalence among white transgender women.2   There are also discrepancies in reported and confirmed HIV status, which suggest that many transgender women are unaware that they are living with HIV.3  Although HIV prevalence among transgender men (0%-3%) is fairly low,4,5 some transgender men who have sex with cisgender men do engage in behaviors that place them at risk for HIV acquisition.6

In response to the disparate burden of HIV experienced by transgender women, the launch of the inaugural National Transgender HIV Testing Day (NTHTD) on April 18, 2016 marked the first HIV testing initiative focused exclusively on the HIV testing needs of transgender people.

Spearheaded by the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health (CoE) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), in collaboration with community partners and several federal agencies, the first NTHTD proved to be a huge success.

The inaugural NTHTD involved a year of planning and the rollout of the very first transgender HIV testing toolkit. The information contained in the toolkit mirrors the most current HIV prevention research and best practices for serving transgender and gender non-binary communities. Leading up to NTHTD 2016, the CoE hosted two well-attended webinars in collaboration with the Capacity Building Assistance Provider Network (CPN) to familiarize community-based organizations (CBOs), health departments, and other service providers across the country with NTHTD and the toolkit, and to encourage organizations to host NTHTD events in their respective communities. 

Highlights from NTHTD 2016

Rollout     of the Transgender HIV Testing Toolkit

Organizations     in 13 different states hosted NTHTD events 

City     of Newark, New Jersey, issued a resolution commending the African American     Office of Gay Concerns for hosting an NTHTD event

Twitter     chat featuring transgender celebrities Chandi Moore and Candis Cayne,     provided a rare platform for transgender women to speak candidly about     their needs

In     April, the CoE Twitter account yielded 14,500 tweet impressions, 1,166     profile visits, and approximately 1,000 individuals used the hashtag     #TransHIV on Facebook

Multiple     media outlets wrote articles to increase awareness about the prevalence of     HIV in transgender communities and to raise awareness about the new     transgender HIV 

“Dear     Colleague” letter was provided by Dr. Jonathan Mermin, Centers for Disease     Control and Prevention (CDC)  

NTHTD April 18, 2017

For National Transgender HIV Testing Day (NTHTD) 2017, the Center of Excellence for Transgender Health (CoE) capacity-building assistance team, led by Jenna Rapues, Interim Director, along with NTHTD collaborating partners, seeks to build on the successes of last year. Specifically, the CoE has tailored the planning and promotion for NTHTD 2017 to:  

·         Increase participation from CBOs across the country

·         Increase capacity of participating organizations to provide routine HIV testing services to transgender clients

·         Increase utilization of the Transgender HIV Testing Toolkit

·         Increase utilization of CoE capacity-building assistance (CBA) resources and services

Similar to last year, NTHTD 2017 will include several webinars that help familiarize participants with the Eight Best Practices for HIV Prevention Among Transgender People and the Transgender HIV Testing Toolkit developed by the CoE. The inaugural NTHTD had great success in engaging the transgender community via social media. This year, we will partner with AltaMed in California and CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention to roll out new HIV prevention materials for transgender people and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis.   

The NTHTD kick-off webinar on February 8, 2017 provided an opportunity for the CoE to engage CBOs in an effort to begin planning for NTHTD events. It provided an opportunity to highlight the importance of competent HIV testing services for transgender individuals and the HIV testing toolkit. For instance, webinar participants learned about the importance of recruiting transgender individuals and the need for professional development for transgender-identified staff. Additional kick-off webinars in March 2017 gave CBOs the chance to directly engage the CoE with questions that will support them with organizing successful NTHTD events!

The CoE encourages CBA and community providers to visit our website. The following resources are available to expand providers’ knowledge of transgender health: HIV treatment guidelines, fact sheets, best practices, and the Acknowledging Gender and Sex online training course.

Remember to use the hashtag #TransHIV during NTHTD on April 18, 2017!

East Hampton Modern Farmhouse Beautifully designed by Debra Geller of Debra Geller Interior Design, this East Hampton home combines classic interior design with modern farmhouse influences. Here, the designer gives more details about this impressive home. “This client already lived in their home for 16 years and they wanted to make major changes. We did a gut renovation and doubled the size of the house from approx. 4000 sf to 8000 sf. These clients were amazing and easy to work with and have great sense of style. My vision was to incorporate their love of family, easy living, and beauty and create an amazing space for them. I used reclaimed barn wood on the living room feature wall, beautiful wide plank oak floors throughout, stained a pretty custom mixed neutral gray. We kept that color pallet going in the entire house with paint and fabrics, adding different accent colors in each room. Lighting was a primary feature as well.. each room as a special and spectacular lighting – many lights were custom made for the space. I am also an artist and I painted them a beautiful serene ocean painting for the living room tie it all together as well as a heart painting for the breakfast room, creating more Zen elements.
