Good news, being trans is cool and hip now and not at all related to outrageously high rates of violence and widespread oppression and marginalization!

There are a lot of things you could say about 2010 – for instance, that so far Don't Ask Don't Tell hasn't been repealed, that an outrageous number of children committed suicide because of homophobic bullies, that none of our seemingly endless wars in foreign lands ended. But hey, 2010 was also "the year of the transsexual!" At least according to the New York Times!

Or at least, it was the year of transgender people appearing on magazine covers, or at least cis people appearing on magazine covers in drag. Which is the same thing, right?
