"Let's face it: mainstream and LGBT media do not always get it right—especially when referencing transgender lives. Decorated New York Times columnist and best-selling author Jennifer Boylan has made her life an open book, quite literally, in an effort to facilitate positive change from within—and outside of—the community.
"We've seen great progress made," she said. "I'd like to see that progress continue. Stories of trans lives, in all their many different permutations, need to become more commonplace. To some degree, I'd like to see some stories of trans people for whom being trans is not the most important thing in their lives; I'd like to see us defined not by our gender status but by the thoughts in our brains and the love in our hearts—like everybody else.""
