Being a media watchdog isn't the best job in the world (because it means watching a bunch of terrible TV personalities trash talk trans people), but somebody has got to do it...and I'm hoping that somebody will be you.

Hey Simon, I don't know if this got sent to you, but I reposted this blog entry on my facebook, and this was my friend Nik's reply:
"With all of the news anchors that are very ignorant to the transgendered population, I have come across two, rather 'nice', representations of transgendered youth this week in the media. 20/20, last Friday ran a segment about 3 different trans children. Check it out online....
And I just ran across this on CNN.com: "A transgender candidate on prom king ballot". http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/20/transgender.prom.king.ap/index.html
Although there is a lot of negativity out there, these little victories allow us to feel a bit of optimism for the future."
Just thought it was a point worth remembering.
Thanks for sharing some positive representations too Kio.
Also, have you seen this?

I got fooled when I dated a beautiful blond last week. When she pulled down her panties, a huge cock popped up and she wanted me to blow her/him.
