Part of what we do at Trans* Success is give you the opportunity to do something good and give back to the community.  This one is crucial and has a limited time frame of only 2 days remaining before the vote gets cast against the LGBT.  The following is a petition.  Help out our trans brothers and sisters in Russia who are about to lose their freedom to speak about trans issues.  Their rights are being violated and you can give back to our trans* world community by clicking the link above and signing the petition.

The party led by Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin is pushing discriminatory legislation against lesbian, bi, gay and trans people that could eliminate their freedom to speak publicly and assemble.

Russia is a signatory to numerous international human rights treaties - including the European Convention on Human Rights. We call on you to urgently speak out and hold Russia accountable to its treaty obligations - and stand with LGBT Russians whose ability to speak for themselves is under attack.

Please sign and reblog.  The more people who speak out, the louder our voice to the world.  Take 1 minute of your time and help make the outcome of this vote another Trans* Success.

Credit for bringing this to our attention goes to Trans* Awareness.

They’re very close to 100.000 signatures. News pieces with more info about the proposed law: New York Times, AFP, Huffington Post

Cristian Fernandez is only 12 years old. And if Florida prosecutor Angela Corey has her way, he’ll never leave jail again.

Cristian hasn’t had an easy life. He’s the same age now as his mother was when he was born. He’s a survivor of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. In 2010, Cristian watched his stepfather commit suicide to avoid being charged with abusing Cristian.

Last January, Cristian was wrestling with his 2-year-old brother, David, and accidentally broke David’s leg. Despite this, their mother left Cristian with his brother again in March. While the two boys were alone, Cristian allegedly pushed his brother against a bookcase, and David sustained a head injury. After their mother returned home, she waited six hours before taking David to the hospital. David eventually died.

Now Cristian is being charged with first degree murder — as an adult. He’s the youngest person in the history of his Florida county to receive this charge, and his next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
