"EVERY MORNING, in the empty hours between midnight and dawn, a thousand stories are told on Old York Road. Tales of desperation, isolation, resignation.
Above all, tales of danger.
Transgender women, about a dozen at a time, wrap themselves in body-clinging outfits, their nails long, hair crimped. They coo at passing drivers, greet them with a smile."

Great story. Really opens eyes toward the realities of transphobia and discrimination.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
