I was reading Bif Naked's blog when I was reminded of International Transgender Day of Rememberance; today's the 11th International Transgender Day of Rememberance. The yearly event is held to recognize and remember trans people who have been killed through hatred or prejudice. (How awesome is that "free hugs" video she posted along?)
Did you know there's a publication that caters to FTMs? Check out "Original plumbing".
Watch an interview with Chaz Bono on Good Morning America here, a British Judge shows sympathy for an FTM, and Indian voters are allowed to check an "other" box when voting. Even though the latter case sounds very progressive, so-called hijiras are still looked down on, often treated without the same respect and courtesy Indian men and women get, and there don't seem any laws to protect them properly. But that's just my opinion.
