Jack Miner, associate registrar and president of the OSU-Columbus Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender SXociety, spoke to OSU-Mansfield and North Central State College students about understanding the transgender community.

A large portion of his speech focused on the life of a transgender student on a college campus. A transgender is a person appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex.

I like the intent behind it all, but stuff like "A transgender is a person appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex" kinda rubs me the wrong way. It makes it sound like they're fakes somehow.

And this stuff about "becoming transgender," lol... like it's a disease people catch?

And what's with this new "transgenders" term that seems to be catching on lately? It's not a condition anymore, it seems like a class of people, or a bunch of hobbyists... "there go those transgenders again!"

Still, overall, it's cool ;)
