"It's known for shining a spotlight on LGBT issues, now Glee has featured a 200-member choir comprised of transgender singers from all over America.

The choir appears in the episode entitled 'Transition' in which sports coach Shannon Beiste, played by Dot Marie-Jones, returns to his job for the first time after announcing his gender reassignment."

Cool.

Thanks for posting this -- I haven't watched it in years, but I might have to take a look at this episode.

For some reason my brain processed the title as "Glee features a 200 year old transgender person" o.O

Good on them I guess, hopefully this will help make the younger generation more accepting.

I just finished watching it... and was reminded about why I stopped. I love the attitude of the show, but it's just not my taste in music. Ouch.

But the all trans choir was very cool.
