I happen to hear a great story on NPR yesterday about one particular family with a young transgender child and learned that they’ve done a few pieces on this subject in the past couple days. It’s a subject that interests me and living in San Francisco, certainly an issue that comes up on a regular basis. And, even here in San Francisco, there is still violence and prejudice against the transgender community and more than a little confusion.

I hope these links are informative, interesting and enlightening!
