This week for PRIDE, I wanted to organically speak about something that's on my mind. Some of you may or may not have heard that Jose Canseco is planning on dressing as a woman to understand the experiences of Caitlyn Jenner. I have to be honest and say, I'm annoyed.
Watch my video and find out why!

        Should We Drop the "T" in LGBT?
    
Kat Blaque
January 28 2016 / 4:09 PM
There's been a lot of debate on multiple sides about whether the "T" should be part of LGBT. There are many arguments for or against. I have several opinions on both sides, so I thought that I would just give you my take.

        What It's Like to Get Laser Hair Removal As a Trans Person 
    
Kat Blaque
November 16 2015 / 2:06 PM
I got laser for the first time about a year ago. I get a special kind of laser called "yag laser." It is specifically made for people who have dark skin and dark hair. I've had pretty good results, but I haven't gone in for a year or so. I get it on my face and I wanted to show you all what it's like.
