Kristoff and I will both be attending (and presenting at) the 2011 biennial meeting of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health in Atlanta, Georgia from Sunday, September 25th through Wednesday, September 28th. The theme of the conference is “Transgender Beyond Disorder: Identity, Community, and Health”.

The WPATH conference overlaps with the annual Southern Comfort transgender conference (Wednesday, September 21st through Sunday, September 25th). Sunday will be a day of joint meetings of the two groups, together with the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, at the Emory University Conference Center.

Kristoff and I are both part of a panel that begins at 8:00 am on Monday morning. Kristoff will be speaking about “Eunuchs: Body Integrity Identity Disorder and castration” and my title will be “Eunuchs: Personality and sexuality”. There will be three additional papers on eunuchs in our panel.

We look forward to meeting any Eunuch Archive members who will be attending the Southern Comfort conference. If we don’t meet up beforehand, we can gather to talk at the Wine and Cheese celebration at the end of the day on Sunday.

Drop a <Private Message> to either Kristoff or me if you plan to attend Southern Comfort or are in the Atlanta area and would like to arrange to meet outside the conference framework. We can begin further planning once we know that there are members who would be interested in gathering.

New folks without any posts are somewhat restricted in sending Private Messages. If you send a PM and don't get a response, send a message to ( EAKristoff at hotmail.com ). I will be happy to share with Jesus and respond to you. We would really like to meet some of our Atlanta area friends!

I would absolutely LOVE to meet up with you both. I recently met with other members during their visit to Charlotte, and the lunch we shared was a rare moment meeting and speaking with friends of like minds. While I'm not attending SCC, I'd be happy to enjoy a meet and greet with other EA members. Thank you both for suggesting this southeastern MoM moment!!

I'll definitely be there!

Not for love, sex, or money...

Just a last minute bump. Thus far we have three who wish to meet up. Anyone else? Send a PM to Jesus or Kristoff, or an email to (EAKristoff at hotmail.com).

My flight leaves for Atlanta far too early Saturday morning. Kristoff gets to sleep in a bit and he leaves early afternoon on Saturday. The gathering will be Sunday morning near Emory University in Atlanta. Send

of us if you would like to come and need the exact time and place.

Hello Jesus and Kristoff. I made it into Atlanta/Decatur late Saturday afternoon.

Give me a call, please and let me know what time we'll meet up.

I must be getting old or been under a lot of stress (lol - probably the later, more so) , I forgot what MoM stands for!

Meeting of Minds ?
