It’s The Post That Never Ends
It’s such an amazing thing, the transformation of Transadvocate.com. Once a blog of my personal opinions and beliefs, TA has become everything I ever envisioned it to be when I first purchased the domain on March 1st, 2002. There is enough traffic here that many times a good discussion happens without me commenting. Transadvocate.com is slowly becoming more about community, and less about me.

Why this article may matter

Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
