Apr. 28th, 2010 11:48 pmThe Premier of my province just tried to have information about transsexuality, masturbation, and anal sex added to the sex ed we teach in schools, but was shouted down by a bunch of right-wing windbags.
It's fitting, then, that there were two news items about transgender stuff in the blogosphere today, both illustrating why it might be NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA to help the general public understand transfolk.
One, over at Sociological Images, there's a heartbreaking photospread of transfolk holding placards with questions they've been asked. Questions, as you may have guessed, that are less than awesome. (And suddenly it strikes me that 'Trans Bingo,' like 'Feminist Bingo' and 'FanFiction Bingo,' might be an easy game to make up.)
Two, ( under the cut for news of violence which may be triggering )
Phew. I don't know about you guys, but I think this post requires a Unicorn chaser.
