Making Black History:
The Black Transmen Advocacy Conference BY Toi Scott Black Transmen Incorporated (BTMI) will be hosting their first annual Black Transmen Advocacy Conference and Dinner March 29th- April 1st, 2012 at the Dallas Marriot Market Center. The theme for this year is Stepping up- Stepping Out, Men Uniting and Impacting the World. Founder and CEO, Carter Brown, informs us that many transmen go “stealth” and are hidden or living a life of secrecy. The conference theme is a call for Black transmen to step up, come out and say who you they are. BTMI also wants “transmen to be able to embrace who they are without feeling that they have to conform to societal impressions of what a man is.”
