So I went o the Harvard HaLLA conference, which this tear was focuse don tarns rights, which is basically why I was invited to speak.
Overall, the experince was inspiring, and not just because I got to see all the folk i havent seen in a few years.
These is an actual crop of people committed to actually critically analyzing the system were in, and changing it for the better at what is arguably the bastion of intellectual elitism. I'm fairly sure the credit for that one goes to Dean Spade.
I , of course beat my old dead horse of trans youth in foster care and the effects of double whammy of being trans and underage on access to all those things necessary for adulthood. Of course I forgot half of the shit I was gonna say, but Susan Sommer ( of the Lawrence v Texas fame) was there with me and she caught a lot of what I lost on the wayside. Regardless people seemed to like it, and some has very decent , concrete questions.
Overall, a very good experience.
and now I fall down go boom, because I's beat, but I will write more about the conference.
If anyone is interested , the website for the conf is here.
