http://www.bilerico.com/2011/06/the_new_republic_cover_story_on_trans_rights.phpThe New Republic has a story out on trans rights. It details the story of Caroline Temmermand, a transsexual woman, who recently transitioned. As the author notes, the story evolved from a lead on speech therapy for trans women, and Ms. Temmermand was profiled last year in the GW student newspaper in a well-done article on that subject.
The New Republic, a magazine of politics and the arts, is generally considered liberal, though it is to the right of many progressives. Its readership is generally considered to be older, influential establishment liberal types, and so a story in The New Republic is going to reach a lot of people who don't read much about transgender or transsexual people.
