Sun Sep 18, 2011 11:29 am (PDT)
Super Early Bird Registration for the 3rd Annual Empire Conference in Albany NY is now open. April 11-14, 2012.
We have a number exciting new programs and tracks for this years conference.

Following on the heels of our well received 'Big Sisters' Program last year, we are expanding that program. Lady Ellen of Le Femme Finishing School will be providing programs each day for those who have never, or don't often get the opportunity, to express their desired gender identity.
Our shopping trip to Crossgates Mall (available to everyone) is to provide those who are uncomfortable, or can't, shop close to home. You'll be accompanied by several seasoned mall shoppers who will be ready to make suggestions and give advice.
Super Early Bird Registration includes all activities from Wednesday to Saturday: All Workshops and Forums, A Guided Shopping Tour to nearby Crossgates Mall, All Conference Meals, a Brewery Tour with Dinner, and a possible excursion to Saratoga Racetrack and Casino, a Weds night Welcoming Reception hosted by The Capital District Pride Center, our Friday Night Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre and our Saturday Gala and Debutante Ball.
This Super Early Bird package, available from September 15 - December 15, 2011 is only $184.50. THIS IS A GREAT BARGAIN! This offer cannot be transferred or assigned to another person.

Call for Presenters and Workshop Leaders: Empire Conference
Posted by: "Mona Rae Mason" monaraemason@yahoo.com monaraemason
Thu Sep 15, 2011 8:14 am (PDT)
Call for Presenters and Workshop Leaders!
for TransEvent 2012 — The Empire ConferenceTransEven tsUSA is accepting proposals for presentations and workshops for the 2012 Empire Conference, which will be serving the Transgender Community in all its diversity April 12-14, 2012 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in historic downtown Albany, New York. Our featured theme is TransGenerations—Transgender Issues of Youth and the Elderly and All In Between. We hope you will consider participating in our educational program.
In addition to presentations relating to directly to the theme, we are especially looking for programs that examine ways of changing the perception of Transgender through Education, Advocacy and Lobbying. Almost any topic that addresses the concerns of Transsexuals, Crossdressers, Partners of Trans people, Trans couples, and children of Trans people will be welcome.
Past conference attendees have also expressed interest for more information on Transgender Health, Medicine, and Legal issues. And sessions focused on Trans people in relationships are desired for those attending either with or without their partners.
It is expected that there will once again be significant participation from the Female-to-Male community, so their issues and concerns need to be addressed. We hope to have a full program track for FtMs.
We welcome proposals that can give us all a new slant on creating more unity in the Transgender Community—in both the political and social realms. New ideas and new faces are particularly welcome at the Empire Conference. Be creative! We look forward to learning about the new and exciting programs you can bring to this eager audience.
Submit your proposal as soon as possible, but no later than the November 15, 2011 deadline, to insure space and schedule availability. Use the online Program Proposal Form.
Your proposal will include a brief biography, a brief program description, any A/V needs, as well as contact information. Let us know if you are planning a panel presentation, so we can get in touch with you about biographies and contact information for your panelists. If panelist information is not received in a time, it cannot be included in the program listings.
We offer a complimentary conference day to each presenter or panel moderator only. (Unless it is a special invited panel.) You will need to complete a conference registration if your program is accepted. If you have questions regarding your proposal, contact Alison Laing, Program Chair, at , or P.O. Box 473, Portsmouth, RI 02871-0475.

A Very Real Danger
by Susan Riley
Recently I received news that a sister in my chapter has taken her own life. Although I do not know if her dressing was a contributor or not, her passing really hits home about the danger we in the gender community face. Most statistics show that better than 50% of TG people attempt suicide, often more than once. I will be perfectly honest here, I myself have attempted it three times. Roughly 30% of TG people succeed in taking their lives. The Transgender community has one of the highest, if not the highest, rate of suicide of any group.
Being transgendered is not the direct cause of these suicides, but rather depression that is often triggered by being TG. According to suicide.org, untreated depression is the number one cause of suicide. We as transgender individuals often face a very hard life that easily contributes to depression and ultimately suicide if the issues most of us face remain unresolved. Being TG is often a lonely affair, society shuns us, and loved ones often do not accept us. Many of us have at times in our lives have tried to deny who we are in order to fit into society, only to learn that we cannot deny ourselves without causing ourselves considerable harm, often leading to depression.
Often we have to fight our battle with depression alone, especially if your spouse or family are unaware of your crossdressing. Depression is very very difficult to deal with on your own, help is needed. If you cannot confide in your spouse or family because they do not know, then it is important that you find somebody who can give you support. In our case, many of our Tri-Ess sisters have had to deal with the same problems that we do, they know how you feel and can give you some caring help to help you through your troubles. They have been through the fire and came out of it, they can help you do the same.
Therapy is also very highly recommended to anybody who is dealing with depression. A specialist in gender issues is preferred, but if none of these are available in your area then another therapist will do. It is best to interview any therapist and find out what their opinions on gender issues are and only select a therapist that you feel comfortable talking about your issues with.
We as Tri-Ess members should be on the lookout for anybody (including ourselves) that show any of the following signs:
1. Mood that is altered from the norm.
2. Withdrawal from the group, friends, or family.
3. Feelings of worthlessness.
4. Feelings of no hope.
5. Feelings of being trapped.
6. Talking about suicide or death.
7. Abuses drugs or alcohol.
8. Changes in eating habits.
9. Changes in sleeping habits.
10. Feelings of excessive guilt or shame.
11. Feelings of depression that last longer than a few days.
12. Personality changes.
13. Loss of interest in most things.
These are all signs of suicide and if you or somebody that you know exhibits these signs then suicide may be a very real danger. Anybody who exhibits these signs (including yourself) needs to contact a therapist immediately and seek help.
Depression can be cured, and if treated the desire to end one's life disappears. Many of those that had attempted suicide and survived it and were able to work out their problems and get their depression under control went on to live happy lives and were very grateful that they did not succeed in their suicide attempt.
WHAT IS CAUSING DEPRESSION AND THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE IS TEMPORARY.
Life should not be thrown away for something that will pass. A therapist can help to work through these issues and help to overcome these feelings and allow one to go on and live a happy life.
Suicide is an emergency situation. If you or somebody you know is in imminent danger of suicide then call 911 and get help. Here are also some toll free suicide hotlines that can help:
1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433)
1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)
Due to the unique challenges we as TG people face, suicide is a very present and real danger. If you are the one considering this option, reach out and get help, there is help for you. If you know somebody who is heading down this road then reach out to them, help them to get help. Suicide should NEVER be an option!
