Traversing the Journey & Trying to Help My Trans Sisters & Brothers

[Guest AnnahM]

Hello! My name is Annah Moore and I'm glad to have found a new home here on Laura's site. I am a writer, musician, artist and trans activist. I have been active in the trans community for over 15 years (transitioned in 1999, surgery in 2004). I have been featured on Discovery Health Channel's show "seXchange: Him to Her", done numerous radio interviews and was featured on the cover of Transgender Tapestry magazine as well as continue to participate in support groups, meetings and other events to help my fellow trans sisters and brothers where I can. I am currently involved in the PFLAG Phoenix support groups that take place twice a month in downtown Phoenix.

I have three books published so far, one of which is about my journey from childhood through transition up to and including surgery in Montreal (Right Side Out, 2006). Another is a sci-fi adventure novel that isn't trans-related. And my most recent one, published today, is a book of poetry I have written over the past 30 years, much of which has to do with gender dysphoria, transitioning, losing my wife and family, de-transitioning, and re-transitioning, among other things. I am now in the process of writing a follow-up to Right Side Out, which will chronicle the last 10 years after surgery as well as offer advice and help.

If you'd like more info on my books, you can find them here:

I also play lead guitar and sing in the band The Flaming Queens. Two of us are mtf, our lead singer is a well-known drag queen, and our drummer is a lesbian. We do cover songs, mostly, and put on quite a show.

Anyway, my presence here is to hopefully provide guidance and assistance to those who need/want it. And, even though I've been around the block a few times, I still have questions and concerns that only my fellow sisters can answer.
