Transpeople Are Part Of The Diverse Mosaic Of Life 4

The overwhelming evidence is that transpeople are part of the diverse mosaic of life on our 'Big Blue Marble'.

Fundamentalists, the haters, and the scientifically illiterate may choose to continue to wallow in ignorance and denial, but the evidence continues to mount that transpeople are here, we're everywhere, we're on almost every habitable continent and we aren't going away any time soon.

This feature is proving to be a very popular one.

Just as I've done in the previous two posts, I'm simply compiling photos that show transpeople around the world just following our dreams, fighting for our rights, living our lives and doing things that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are part of the diverse mosaic of life on Planet Earth.

Trans People Are Part Of The Diverse Mosaic Of Life 2

I compiled a post which has photos of transpeople from various parts of our planet just living their lives.

Since our haters want to continue to deny our humanity, we exist and pimp other lies and falsehoods about us, here's some more photographic evidence that transpeople are part of the diverse mosaic of human life.

Trans People Are Part Of The Diverse Mosaic Of Life

As I've said repeatedly on this blog and will do so until my last minutes on the planet, we are part of the diverse mosaic of life. But this time I'll let some pictures tell the story.

New SCOTUS Photo

The new session of the Supreme Court starts Monday October 5, and as per tradition they take a group photo at the beginning of it.

There's a lot more interest in this year's photo session because of the historic nature of it. For the first time in our country's history a Latina will sit on the highest court in the land.

Doesn't Justice Sonia Sotomayor look lovely in it?

Now we need a Native American justice, an Asian justice, one that GLBT and an African-American female to counteract Injustice Thomas' self hatred.

It'll be even more beautiful when there are more progressive judges and more diversity in future SCOTUS pictures as well and less right wing ones.

Sistahs Are ALWAYS In Fashion

Some designers and elements of society may not think so, but we beg to differ on that point. As far as many of our men and Black women are concerned, sisters who grace the catwalks, the red carpets, various stages, the ballroom floors and who just strut down any street like they own it, sistahs are always in fashion.
