I posted an article about this woman a few days ago.

I remember the article, I also recall that you and I established the ground work for a new charitable organization that will bring this women some well needed relief. -Do it!!
As for the Fox News personality, I'm not too surprised for two reasons: 1. They will do everything they can to be divisive and promote fear of "the other". In this case "the other" is the transgendered nanny. -This sort of behavior infuriates me. 2. Any headline that can potentially rhyme is given preferential status in the cable news world and Tranny Nanny is like gold to these people.

I understand that you have first-hand experience with this, but why do you think you should start a charity? By their very name, the goal of a charity is to throw money at a problem. I'm sure you'd agree that the struggle for acceptance that transgendered people face will not be solved merely by giving away money.
Stating your intentions to 'start a charity to fix the problem' carries an unpleasing vibe. I'm reminded of the many charities that religious fundamentalists have set up to help people 'pray away the gay.'

The charity I want to provide is to cover emergency food and relocation costs for transgender people, as well as job training. We struggle with acceptance yes, but we also struggle with day to day living in a lot of cases. I already have an emergency food line set up for some of the trans communities ive set up online and it has helped people already. I also happen to be an atheist so religious fundamentalism is pretty much out of the question. I understand your concerns but im tired of writing memorials for my sisters.

My advice, strike while the media iron is hot. If you need more advice, or a sound board to bounce ideas off of, let me know. Good luck!!
