Kyle Jones is a bi-gender writer, parent and geek. Kyle is active in his community as a board member and facilitator for Pizza Klatch, a group providing support and advocacy for LGBTQQIA youth and their allies in Olympia WA area high schools. Along with parenting and community involvement, Kyle contributes to the greater conversation about gender, kink, parenting and polyamorous relationships on his blog, www.butchtastic.net.

It was the ‘home’ feeling of being among friends and allies, even if I hadn’t met them all yet. I felt accepted and celebrated for who I was, without having to justify or defend my identity.

Gender Odyssey is an annual international conference focused on the needs and interests of transgender and gender non-conforming people.

This Tumblr is back from hiatus as we gear up for this year's Gender Odyssey 2014.

Gender Odyssey operates on a very streamlined budget. This has allowed Gender Odyssey to continue and grow even during the hardest economic times. Now, we are challenged by our own growth -- the rapid expansion of Trans*, family, and professional programming that many say is the best in the country. We need to hire a conference director!
