Cool.
Thanks for posting this -- I haven't watched it in years, but I might have to take a look at this episode.

For some reason my brain processed the title as "Glee features a 200 year old transgender person" o.O
Good on them I guess, hopefully this will help make the younger generation more accepting.

I just finished watching it... and was reminded about why I stopped. I love the attitude of the show, but it's just not my taste in music. Ouch.
But the all trans choir was very cool.
