http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/22/i-am-trans-people-speak-glaad-video_n_1373280.htmlA new project created by the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition and sponsored by GLAAD aims to raise awareness about the transgender community's diversity -- and we've got a sneak peek.
As GLAAD notes, "Transgender people have a wide range of interests, experiences and backgrounds that are too often ignored because of their trans identity. Together we can make a positive change in the visibility and representation of transgender people by focusing on the full individual."
Titled "I AM: Trans People Speak," the video features candid talk by actress, producer and transgender advocate Laverne Cox and Isis King, the first transgender contestant featured on "America's Next Top Model," among others.
