" London, Ont.-Transgender people are much more likely to attempt suicide than non-transgender people, but the reasons have more to do with how transgender people are treated than with any internal conflict, a new Canadian study has found."

OK, that was unfair. The study certainly isn't news to us, but it's good to see it getting out to the general populace.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!
