Transeducation
Link7/9/2008
I'm currently compiling, via blog, Claire's Transgendered Primer for the Curious, Apprehensive or Confused. In it, I hope to provide a (very) basic guide designed to answer questions that non-transgendered people have about us, as well as foster discussion and educate folks about who transgendered people are (hint: we're people who happen to be transgendered, not amorphous clouds of gender variance who have temporarily taken human form. Well, except for me).
I've requested input from my transgendered sisters and brothers regarding the topics they'd like to see addressed, and now, I would ask you, non-trans readers, the following questions:
1) What questions do you most often have for or about transgendered people?
2) Do you have any first-hand experience with a transperson, or are you reliant solely on the media's somewhat less-than-appealing portrayal of who we are?
3) What opinions do you currently have regarding the transgendered (if any)? Do you feel they might be subject to change if you were more thoroughly educated on the subject?
