As a spiritually driven human being, I truly follow my passionate desire, to establish Unequivocal Equality for everyone, by Educating the necessity for Sensitivity, Understanding, & Respect for Diversity, through Civility.

My name is Dr. Mekah Gordon, PhD, L. E., as a Transgender, & Human Rights Activist/Advocate, I have achieved remarkable precedence in NY, and continue to do so, in my home state of New Mexico.

My reputation as a tenacious, passionate, generous, and vigorous Transgender Educator/Consultant throughout the nation, is exemplary.

As the Santa Fe Regional Editor, for The Normal Heart Newspaper, I currently write a column, titled, Transitionally Speaking. [ TNH ]
Subjects range from current and/or personal Transgender issues, to political controversies, specifically related to the GLBTGQI community.

I am a Male to Female Transsexual Activist/Advocate, and founder of the S. U. R. E. Foundation® {Sensitivity, Understanding, Respect, through Education}, in addition to the Santa Fe Transgender Support Group®, here in Santa Fe, NM.

The S. U. R. E. Foundation's primary focus, is to Educate, through a series of Lectures, including Question & Answer sessions, to Doctors, Nurses, Health Care Workers, Police Departments, Prisons, Work Environments, Peer Relations, Parents, (especially maintaining a foundation of unconditional love) Relatives, and Friends of Gender Questioning children, and/or adults.

The S. U. R. E. Foundation® is planning, in the near future, of setting up an Educational Tax-exempt 501c(3)Trust Fund, for those in the Trans Community, who have met all requirements for GCS {Gender Corrective Surgery©}, yet cannot afford the expense for this procedure.
Applicants would be interviewed, and their applications reviewed by a Board of Directors. After a very thorough evaluation, a grant would be issued, to cover some, or all of the expenses.

By paving the way for others, who wish to Transition, & still maintain their employment, has been a continuous major part of my passionate Educational endeavors, as the founder/director of the S. U. R. E. Foundation®.

I am available as a consultant, in addition to being a Lecturer/Keynote Speaker, concerning my expertise in the area of Transgendered Issues.

I had taught in New York State a total of 26 years as a "man," before coming out to my School Districts Superintendent, in the summer of 2000, of my plans to transition from M-F.

I was the first Transsexual teacher in New York State, and probably the entire Nation, to ever maintain my teaching position in a school district where I was about to transition from Male to Female, *receiving a year off with pay, & maintaining my health benefits, enabling me to begin full time transition.

*This alone was unheard of, and Historically Precedent Setting, throughout the entire Country!

I've been featured on TVs The Early Show w/ Katie Couric, The View w/ Barbara Walters, in numerous national, and overseas newspaper articles, as well as a variety of Radio Stations from coast to coast.

I'm a lifetime member of GLSEN, NY, where I served as a Steering Committee Member - PFLAG, Santa Fe {I am the Transgender Rep} - and formerly served as secretary on the board of the HRA, {Human Rights Alliance}, - Board Member of The Normal Heart Newspaper, - Member of the NMSPC,{New Mexico Suicide Prevention Coalition}, - Recipient, of the prestige's, "Commitment to Care Award" from the Alliance for Gender Awareness, - Full membership, World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), formerly known as the Harry Benjamin Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA)
