transguys:

Coinciding with Cervical Health Awareness Month, Robert Eads Day on January 17 honors the memory of Robert Eads and raises awareness for preventative care and early detection of cancer and HPV in trans men.

Robert Eads (December 18, 1945 – January 17, 1999) was a trans man from Toccoa, Georgia, whose life and death was the subject of the award-winning documentary Southern Comfort (2001). Eads transitioned later in life and was advised not to seek hysterectomy due to his age. He was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1996 and more than a dozen doctors refused to treat him fearing that taking him on as a patient might harm their practice. When he was finally accepted for treatment in 1997 the cancer had “already metastasized to other parts of the body, rendering any further treatments futile.” Robert Eads died on January 17, 1999.

Robert Eads was denied medical care in the United States just 19 years ago. His story is a tragic reminder to trans men to take charge of their health, as well as a call to action to the medical community to fight against trans discrimination in health care and to improve the accessibility of preventative care and early detection of cancer and HPV in trans populations.

Is this the beginning of the second tumblr orgy this week or what.

Most of the people on this came to mine, so I better be invited to this one.

Snarks you are ALWAYS invited to the tumblr orgies. You have the keys to the city on the matter 😛

Give up, this is never going to happen.

I find it particularly annoying that you think it’s acceptable to ask a trans person for a pre-transition photograph, especially after they have already said no once.

I do not wish to risk my anonymity under any circumstances.

Lol what a tool, like does anon really think you are just going to share your picture with them, having no idea who they are, and even if you did know them do they really think that you are going to risk your personal safety and privacy by sharing a pre-transition picture of yourself (soemthing totally private and personal that shouldn’t be asked for even by friends).

I know. You hit the nail on the head entirely.
Not to mention it’s exceptionally rude, a pet peeve of mine.
