trans tipping point
Suddenly it seems like trans folks and trans issues are everywhere in the media. MSNBC had a show on Sunday (I think it was called Born in the Wrong Body), there is apparently something on ABC tomorrow night, Tyra has been covering it a lot...
Anyone have any idea why? What was the tipping point? The transwoman-fired-city-manager in Florida? The inclusion of gender identity in recent legislation? The labeled-male-at-birth kindergartner who is enrolled and accomodated as a girl? The rerunning of Transgeneration? The transwoman character on a soap opera?
And how does this bode for those of us who are stealth, or androgynous, when people who look and sound just like us are on the news?
