For this year's Transgender Day of Remembrance, I wanted to highlight this story out of Lincoln, NE, and one aspect of it in particular.

    For many, the word "transgender" calls to mind the murder of Brandon Teena in Humboldt in 1993, an incident that inspired the 1999 Academy Award-winning film Boys Don't Cry.

    Fast forward almost two decades, however, and services offered at a facility in the same city where Teena was born could have saved his life.
