I'm a senior at Suffolk University majoring in history.  I've just accepted a position at Boston College's history MA program.  I hope to specialize in Cold War history, and to be a history professor some day.  I came out as transgender my senior year of high school, and began living as a woman after graduating in 2011.  

Two years ago I saw the film Shape of a Voice.  As a trans woman, I identified with the main character's feeling of loneliness.  I started learning ASL to help create a society that includes everyone, not just hearing people.  Perhaps I'll get a professorship at a deaf university some day.  

I've often gone to lengths to educate others about the transgender community, and am willing to answer any questions you may have.  Feel free to message me.

Hi Claire! Good for you! So so brave and just...really I think that what you are doing is amazing. If you want to practice ASL I would love to do that. I really need the practice. I have not used sign for 15 years and Im just getting back into it and I want to take and then pass (of course!) The interpreter test! Please let me know if you are interested in practicing via video.

      Welcome! I'm also new and agree interaction is essential for learning ASL. I'm in EDT too. Feel free to reach out at [email protected] to connect and practice together! Edited May 21 by Drift Boss

      Question about this shirt

      By Richard Andrews · Posted

      I think the designer cleverly used erroneous shapes since the message is Don't Trust Anybody (even the shirt designer). :-)

      Hello Tammy, I am hearing as well. I just started learning sign language on my own. I am preparing to take an American Sign Language class next semester and want to get a head start. I'm in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone. I would be interested in practicing ASL as we learn together.

      ASL learning

      I am hearing but I have been interested in sign language for years. I wish I could remember what I have learned. I took a semester in high school, I took a semester in college. Loved it. Then I became a mom and forgot everything. This past year I became interested again. I am 50 now and want to learn.
