What do you know about transgenders?
Calpernia Addams (Transgender Activist, Actress) gives expert video advice on: What is it like growing up transgender?; How did your friends and family react to you being transgender?; How did you change from male to female? and more...
Read the transcription if you don't want to listen, but please, try to inform yourself and understand. Some people know more about aliens than about human beings's complexity.
"How are transgender people treated in other cultures? Other cultures have dealt differently with transgender people than, sort of, modern America. There are cultures such as India who have the Hijira, which are people in the culture who are usually born male but adopt a female identity. Sometimes they don't have medical intervention, sometimes they do. In Thailand there are the Kathoey, I hope I'm saying that right, which is how Thailand identifies transpeople. It's in some ways a lot more accepted than it is here, because there are Kathoey (ladyboys) who are pop stars and actors and actresses and stuff, but the culture places them in sort of a third sex category more so than accepting them as women." (emphasis added)
Barry Winchell
Calpernia Addams: In 1999, while working as a performer, Addams began dating PFC Barry Winchell. Word of the relationship spread at Winchell's Army base where he was harassed by fellow soldiers and ultimately murdered.Addams tells the story here.

Transgenders awareness campaign: talking to a transgender woman
Please, I hope you read it because you will not find any campaign at the mainstream media about hermaphrodites, transgenders is the right word, and there are lots of people needing you to understand them.If you want skip and scroll down to the talking to Cynthia that is the most important and you will understand the problems transgenders have to endure.
"Transgenders are murdered, many commit suicide, they are given medicines in a trial and error roulette that destroy their healthy, many can't get a job because of prejudice...
You have no idea how these people suffer.
I'll publish a chat I had with a very nice woman who is a transgender today.
It is heartbreaking and you cannot help feeling angry.
A campaign about them have to be done but WHO and no other institution will do it.
It's up to us, citizens, to make our best.
Many people think they are rare. No. They stay home because of stigma and some bad health due to medical treatments that made them get worse.
"they decided to make me a boy by injection"
"They guessed I was a boy. They guessed wrong. Should have asked me maybe?"
"Really, when I was a kid wanted to work with dolphins."
