During 2012 I wrote approximately 400 articles for The Guerrilla Angel Report, the vast majority of them transgender-related. The following are the 12 most read stories of the year:

12. Miss Universe Pageant Generates Loads of Positive PR for Trans People: Trans beauty contestant Jenna Talackova brought more positive public attention and good will for trans people than any other individual. I wrote about half a dozen stories related to this topic during the year, and the most recent one is still being shared and may end up as #7 or #8 overall.

11. Transgender Student Banned, Then Later Unbanned After Showing Headmaster UK's Equality Act: Trans student Ashlyn Parram is only 16 years old, but she surpasses her teachers at the Giles Academy in Boston, Lincolnshire, when it comes to knowing the UK's law on sex discrimination.

10. Catholic School Tells Trans Student His Name Will Not Be Recognized: The Archdiocese of Indianapolis told a transgender student at Cathedral High School that they would not use his new male name.

Close but not cigar for Ms Courtney

I think the top story, numero uno, is the declaration by the Popenfuhrer that transgender people (read transgender movement) are the enemy of Christianity and the "nuclear family."

I agree, a definite whiff.

Well that's what comes from trying to define the top stories of 2012 when 2012 is not over!

I think the DSM dropping Gender Identity Disorder in favor of dysphoria could have been included as well.
