Beautiful Article On The Passing Of Anna Alexandre

[chefmike]

That is a very moving article. It's good to know that Anna had friends and family who loved and supported her before her untimely death.

I regret that I never met Anna. I have always enjoyed her images and from what I have read, she was even more beautiful on the inside.
Funny how you can get a hollow feeling inside when reading about someone taken before their time.
It would be shallow of me to suggest doing this for Anna so I won't, but please think about how loving, supportive and special almost everyone is in this community. Stand for and by each other when you get the opportunity. Because you never know when you will look back and say, I wish I would have..... as I am saying now.
Condolences to all her family and friends - my prayers and my heart are with you all.

I was deeply saddened to learn only today of Anna's passing. She was an amazingly beautiful lady and she always conveyed that haunting air of vulnerability that I find so incredibly appealing. I know her family and her many friends are devastated and my thoughts are with them.
I just discovered HA yesterday, and as a drooling fanatic for the transgendered for over 20 years I believe this is the most incredible resource I have ever discovered. But I have to take a step back and look at myself. In the last 24 hours I have found the stories of Anna's death, the horrible attack on Miriam Rivera and the sad incident involving Silvia Boots, and I realize that for the most part I have always considered the transgendered as sex toys and porn bait and ignored the reality that they are precious, vulnerable and in most cases courageous and strongly self-aware humans. I have held a place in my heart for Stasha for fifteen years now and miss her and hope her memory and Anna's and my indignation at the violent attack on Miriam and the other acts of bias and aggression against the transgendered will serve to remind me in the future that these are special, beautiful people we should cherish.

That is well said. There is a courage in all who would go against the establishment to follow their own path and that courage must be respected because it is no small thing. It is easy to fall into a trap of reacting primarily sexually to the images we all enjoy. What makes the difference is when you get lucky enough to meet the person behind the images. If you do, you will get an appreciation for the quality of person it takes to live in this arena. I have yet to find any girls who did not command and deserve my respect and affection for their resolve and kindness. I may be luckier than others but I have found my preferance to be very rewarding far beyond the sexual arena. Throughout this thread you can pick up on these qualities of which I speak in referance to Anna. May God rest her soul.
