Abigail Austen transitioned ten years ago. At the time she became the British Army's first transgender officer.
Recently she and her fiancé traveled to the American South attempting to glean the state of the American transgender community in these times.
And she reveals a recent visit to the far-right dominated, notoriously anti-trans states, which support the Republican candidate, left her so traumatised she was unable to leave her home for two weeks.
GLAAD's annual media report
Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 11/04/2016 - 2:35pmThere was good news and bad news in GLAAD's annual media report.
The LGBTQ-focused annual report — now in its 21st year — found record highs for transgender characters as well as black series regular characters on the small screen during the 2016-17 broadcast season. That's factoring in original series on broadcast, cable, premium cable as well as streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.

It's not the Messenger--It's the Message: two Bernie rallies compared
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 09/20/2016 - 12:08amThis campaign has more twists than, well, a python (maybe Monty Python). As depressed and despairing as I have been about Bernie's being cheated out of the nomination and his lukewarm campaigning for her, I still love the man. Thus while getting some REAL news, I was YouTubing. It's always fun if you're in the mood for Morphing Reptilian Clones set to destroy the world type things.

"Political Correctness Run Amok!!!!111!" (Forgive me, this may be a long one)
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Fri, 08/05/2016 - 8:18pmThe title here refers to people complaining about the state of many forms of media and entertainment today from Television to Video Games and Music to, yes, even Professional Wrestling. These cries of Political Correctness and 'SJW Censorship' have ruined everything according to some. There's just one problem with that: What many of these folks decry as Political Correctness Run Amok is simply a media response to changing and growing demographics.
Sunday News
Submitted by Lookout on Sun, 07/17/2016 - 11:53amI can no longer stand to watch "Meet the Press", "Face the Nation", or other corporate media voices. For others of you who feel the same, but would like watch (listen to) a reasonable discussion, here's about an hour of news I think is worth watching. I hope some of you might enjoy a selection or two. Have a nice Sunday!
Judging Morality
Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 1:50pmWe don't usually turn to Nashville based evangelical firm LifeWay Research for good news of any sort.
But LifeWay has surveyed 1000 Americans and found that nearly 60% do not believe that it is morally wrong for someone to identify with a gender different than the one usually associated with the one assigned at birth. And the majority do not believe that it is morally wrong to change one's body to match one's gender identity by taking hormones or having surgery.
A majority of Americans reject the view of a creator giving them a gender that shouldn’t be changed.
--Scott McConnell, LifeWay Executive Director
