“How?” sucks



Tomorrow night on Facebook Live we’ll explore how to make everything you want to be in your life be in your life and why focusing intellectually on “how” makes getting those things a sucky experience. You can be in love, accepted for who you are and happy. That’s what we’re talking about on The Transamorous Network’s Facebook Live show “IN YOUR FACE” Monday night, Jan. 9 at 7:30 pm PST. We’ll see you there.

Talking about your deepest desires

IN YOUR FACE FACEBOOK LIVE PROMOOn Monday we’re launching our newest show. It’s about you, your deepest desires and how to have them become your reality. It’s called IN YOUR FACE and you can only watch it on Facebook.

We know you want pretty much what everyone else does. You want love in your life. It can be expressed many different ways. But love is a BIG desire in everyone’s life. You want to be loved, which in this case means accepted. Whether that’s a family, or a network of friends or a group of people who accepts you as you. You want fulfilling and meaningful things to invest your time into. Whether that’s a job or a hobby, a vocation or something you pursue for fun, you want to contribute to this world in a way that reflects the unique aspects of you. And you want money. Yes, it’s the nature of our world right now that money makes a lot of things possible. So we all want it. Many of us want a lot of it.

Men, you want a transgender partner you can call your own, on your own terms. You’re

tired of the games and drama. You’re tired of the gold-diggers looking for “generou$” men. You’re tired of hearing transwomen tell you indirectly that the only reason you’re interested in a “tranny” is because you’re too much of a loser to get a real woman. You’re wanting all the things above too: love, money, engaging work, but you also want self-respect, a sense that you’re desire for transwomen is normal and ok.

 

There a lot of things people who will watch our new show don’t want too. These are reflections of what you do want. You don’t want skeezer men chasing you. You don’t want men who won’t introduce you to their friends. You don’t want to keep working in the sex industry just to afford hormone treatments. Men don’t want to be humiliated for their desire. They don’t want to be told they’re gay because of their attraction. Et cetera. Et cetera.

For all these reasons, the Transamorous Network introduces our newest show: IN YOUR FACE. Join us for a conversation about you, your deepest desires and our transgender community. We’ll be taking your questions and answering them live.

It’s IN YOUR FACE. Only on Facebook Live. IN YOUR FACE begins Monday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m. Pacific.

Hollywood is stepping up

hollywood_sign_zuschnittThough it may not be intentional, it seeems Hollywood is learning that transpeople (and blacks) are a hot commodity.

Case in point: GLAAD recently published a report showing that television is featuring more black and transwomen than ever before. It details the tremendous progress being made on the small screen for transwomen and blacks.

It’s interesting that just last month we featured on our show our opinion that things were getting better for transpeople. We also highlighted how the trans-rights movement is following the lead of the well-established civil rights movement of the 60s. It’s nice to see reality match our desires.

We did a show about this data where we analyzed why we think this is news. It’s short and a great entry into our material.  Check it out.
