Reese Ramirez was born
in Fresno on June 8th 1979, he quotes I am 34 years old. I was raised in a
military family, based up and down the California coast up until age 13 when we
moved back to my home town of Fresno, Cali.
At 17 I went into
Sacramento Job Corps and took Security/Investigations, 16 years later, I am
still a licensed Security Officer...haveing worked with several companies over
the years and in various states.
At the age of 15 came
out as gay, my parents just said "We could have told you that when you
were 6." I asked why they didn't tell me and they said "We didn't
want to make you feel like you had to be something you're not." At the age
of 26, after enduring 3 back surgeries, called my mom while living down in LA,
told her I was trans and I was going to transition. My mom simply said
"Ok, I still love you and just research it all before you start, because
that is a life long commitment." I started THRT at 31 and have been
medically transitioning for 3.2 years, best thing I've ever done for myself.
I've lived in MI, TN,
CA, FL and most recently OR and back to Fresno after 17 years of being gone.
On Feb.
16th of this year, I competed in the first Mr./Ms. Tranz Pageant put on by
the Imperial Dove Court de Fresno/Madera. I won the title of Mr. Tranz. I speak
on panels at colleges, rode in Fresno's pride parade, San Diego's pride and try
to help unify all the communities come together, break down barriers.
Recently, Sept. 25th,
held my first fundraiser for Fresno Survivor's of Suicide Loss and raised 200
dollars via a drag show show casing talent from all over the central valley.
Currently planning my
step down in February and looking for candidates to take my place and go forth
with it. As well as candidates for the Ms. Tranz title.
