The TG world has made some progress in recent times in way of public awareness.It is good when it is discussed properly by Oprah and Tyra,etc.But there are still the Jerry Springers out there as well. Still,most people don't understand us for what we do,so it is the collateral damage that we fear the most.Torches and pitchforks aren't apt to happen,but loss of jobs,respect,and some "friends" are a reality. We deserve to be happy,not live as others want us to.
