In magazines

My initiative (SSIGN) caught the attention of someone working at the editorial office of my university’s university magazine. He says they’re really interested in my initiative and want to interview me. He must have read my blog and the fact that this initiative is still in it’s early stage of development. There’s not much more to tell them at this point than what can be read on the SSIGN weblog. This will mean that there’s at this point in time little chance I’ll be giving any interview, were it to the university magazine or any other media. Of course when you bring news you want to be the first to bring it. From my point of view I will bring the news of my initiative at the moment I think is right for it. That is why I have a weblog running for my initiatie where I decide what I share and when I share it with those whom read it. I am in favor of keeping this in the open and being transparent about this initiative, until this takes the shape of a real organisation its weblog will stay in the air. With information accumulating on it I do risk that certain media run away with the news about its existence without consulting me. For now there’s little info on the SSIGN weblog, bringing news about it would be presumptuous, meaning that there’s too little certain about how things will develop. I hope I won’t be discoverd by many more media and asked about it, because the more people I’ll have to keep waiting the more people can become impatient and might not be interested anymore when I decide the time is right to tell them the SSIGN story. I will reply to the guy from the university magazine and will tell him he’ll have to wait and to simply keep an eye on the SSIGN weblog. I do hope and that’s personal that this media encounter will be more succesful than my two previous ones…don’t ask.. >.< ..it was silly…but then again those who asked me the question were quite silly too, and of another standard than a university magazine. Though, no I don’t suspect this to make me famous, maybe known on my university and among transgendered people in the Netherlands, that’s all. Most importantly all this isn’t about me, but about those young people and students whom can benefit from what my initiative can deliver them.
