Bio
I designed transhouston.com, tgctr.org, tgdor.org and my own site, cristanwilliams.com . I was born in 1972. I've been to the other side of the world and back. I enjoy coding sites. I have been friends with murderers and murder victims alike. I opened a homeless shelter. I was a program manager at a social service agency and now I run a transgender foundation. Though I used to eat almost nothing but meat, I've been a vegetarian for years. Though I used to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day, I haven't smoked in years. Though I used to smoke a ton of pot and loved dropping acid, I haven't used or drank in 20 years. I tend to love Asian style for it's simplicity. I had sex reassignment surgery in 2004. I love living alone. My life is really, really good. Other people did their best to make my life hard while I was in school. My father disowned me. I am a published writer. I'm a Theravada Buddhist. I've tried to kill myself before. I am not a Republican. I have run both food banks and clothing assistance programs. I've known several people who did kill themselves. I've been homeless more than once. I want to learn more Spanish and Thai. Some people hate me enough to send me death threats. I have had everything from rocks to beer bottles thrown at me. I was asked to speak to a crowd of several thousand people - and did it. I was featured as a "hero" in a magazine (LOL!).

More on Historical Trans Terms

As many of you know, I have another blog that’s rather dry and is only focused on recording the interesting bits of trans history I come across. A great deal of what I post has to do with the language used to describe the non-cis experience. Here’s a few bits that I’ve not yet shared on this blog:

1982: Transgenders = Transsexuals says Christine Jorgensen

1885: “Male-Woman” Transgender Person Discovered After Death

1976: Transvestite = An Umbrella Term Inclusive of  all Trans Folk

1981: Trans-Gender = Across Genders

1982: Transgenders = Transsexuals, Christine Jorgensen

1982: Transgender Phenomena

1986: Transgenderism ≠ Transsexualism; GID = Umbrella Term

1988: Transgender = Transsexuals & Crossdressers

Enjoy :)
