Get my best side by Brad Spiess Via Flickr: A wood duck at Santee Lakes. The other morning I had some time before my first client of the day so I checked out Santee Lakes looking for some birds. I did not get to see some of the more elusive birds but I did get this nice shot of a wood duck. He keep checking out a Night Heron that had flown over and landed in the tree above where I was sitting give me plenty of time to capture him from different angles. This was a nice side profile shot in some of that morning light reflected off of the lake. Sony A1 w/ Sony FE 600mm F/4 ISO 800, 600mm, f/4, 1/2500th second exposure.

Christynne Wood: Standing up to anti-trans hate in Southern California

Excerpts from a talk by Christynne Lili Wrene Wood at the Oct. 7 National March to Protect Trans Youth & Speakout for Trans Lives in Orlando

Excerpts from a talk by Christynne Lili Wrene Wood at the Oct. 7 National March to Protect Trans Youth & Speakout for Trans Lives in Orlando, Florida.

I fought against a very well-organized campaign at the Santee City Council near San Diego. During that meeting, a well-coached teenage girl emotionally described her horror and experience at seeing a “naked man” in the women’s locker room of the Cameron YMCA in Santee. 

Even though several members of the YMCA staff assured her and her family that I was indeed a woman, her lie was picked up by a local right-wing media outlet and within 72 hours was both national and international news, with said girl being a keynote guest on the “Tucker Carlson Show.”

During a protest of hate coordinated by a couple of East County churches featuring failed politicians and more right-wing media coverage, I quietly and with resolute conviction made my way to a counter-protest that featured love, diversity, acceptance, and joy. The number of families there to support our rainbow family was overwhelming.
