Cheryl Costa — the Trinity Award winner discussed by Donna Rose, Marti Abernathey and others, and who posts on LiveJournal as retrodragonlady — posted a response on her LJ to the controversy generated by her acceptance speech:
Since a lot of people in the current trans community don’t know me and since I’m under fire for my apparently critical remarks at the IFGE during my acceptance speech; I’ve been encouraged to post my nomination for public view. Charmaine Bowes has graciously sent me the text. Tomarrow I’ll post my acceptance speech with some foot noted explaination.
Cheryl Costa’s – Trinity Award Nomination
written by Charmaine Bowes and nominated by Monica Helms.Cheryl Ann Costa, is a lot of things, first off she’s an “out and in your face.” She’s an internationally produced and published playwright, was a Washington, DC talk radio personality, a cable television producer, an indie filmmaker and of course a long time activist for the gender community.
It’s a very interesting read about a woman who has done a lot throughout the course of her transgender journey, both to benefit herself and the rest of the community. Check it out!
