I’ve known Mars since I was 15-We met taking a summer photography class in New York. I was  going through a preppy  phase, Mars was wearing a lot of scarfs. He said he was from Halifax and I blushed having no idea where that was. For the next 7 years we  watched each other grow, retreat, change- but everything I did was always ok with Mars- he’s always supported me even at my worst. When he asked me to take his wedding pictures I said yes immediately - but on the train home  I thought about how much we have witnessed each other- I have no other person in my life like him, someone so OK and understanding. Like a shrug of the shoulders and smile “ it’s ok if that doesn’t happen.”  Mars is important not only to me, but to everyone in our small community. Meeting Coco for the first time I felt relief-  two amazing people.  In the past when I’ve  witnessed love from the outside it’s been cumbersome- but with them it’s open arms and a hug. I love Mars -  Developing the film later I saw his face  on the contact sheets was reminded of summer photography class, how awkward and unsure of everything.  I’m so happy and proud for you -Mars and Coco 

This incredible 95-year-old transwoman flight instructor found love late in life– only to be denied social security benefits by the government because she’s not cisgender

A beautiful interview with a woman who transitioned in 1976 shows how life for transgender people has changed over the years, although some terrible consequences remain the same.

Hello, I am a trans woman and mother of two young girls age 2 and 5. I am in the process of separating from my abusive husband and while we are currently crashing with friends, we are not able to stay here for long due to space constraints.

I enjoy cooking, cleaning, reading, and technology. I am personally involved with trans advocacy efforts and am a regular operator with the Trans Lifeline. I have a corporate job interview tomorrow which I am certain will go well, and so I will be able to help with rent, food, and utilities. You will not be asked to watch my children as I have made arrangements for their care while working.

I do not drink or use drugs at all, period; the three of us are also vegetarian. I am 420 friendly and a very proactive person who stays busy during the day-time and we all go to sleep rather early. We have lived in small quarters before and are currently all crashing in a full size bed. I am planning to save up to get my own place within 1-2 months but am open to working something out long term; I am mostly ace and am a very loving and considerate person who avoids conflict, doesn’t judge, and is an understanding listener. My girls are well behaved and enjoy playing with their few toys, coloring, and doing school work. We are a sweet family and are hoping the perfect opportunity comes along; I look forward to hearing from you soon! <3
