So is it just me or am I hearing all about trans stuff all the time? Tuesday I saw a show where within the story line..there was a FtM trans. I was really surprised because they portrayed some of the un-comfortability with the topic but it wasn't laughed at for what he choose to do.

I also so a news article about a 13 year old FtM who's parent passed away and they went to court to ensure that she would be able to take hormones, as she had been raised a girl.

Also apparently there is a politician from South(or North) Dakota who has announced his intention to transition after the end of his term to become a woman.

It's all very interesting to see more if it in the public eye.

Hooray for Visibility!

I think that the more exposure the trans-community gets, the better!

I love my friends, and some of them happen to be transgendered, what's the big deal? That's what I say!

This is no way implies that I think your post was negative, because I don't. I expect that like other UUs you are probably pretty comfortable with transfolks.

Yeah, part of the reason why I'm happy about this is that my former GF has lots of issues around it. It's hard for me to understand because I don't care.....I don't get the big deal on why people don't get it....or that they care about what Trans folks do or don't do...

Just like homophobia, if you're comfortable in your sexual orientation than it shouldn't be an issue(in my opinion)...if you're comfortable in your gender identity...is shouldn't be an issue...
