If you are fortunate enough to receive the new Oprah Winfrey Network, there is a show coming up Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 10 p.m. Eastern that I urge you to watch.  Please.

Lisa Ling's Our America is doing an hour on "Transgender Lives."

Has anyone found this online? It seems so sad that what looks to be a great program has so little access to it.

There are clips at: http://www.oprah.com/own-our-america-lisa-ling/our-america-video.html (http://www.oprah.com/own-our-america-lisa-ling/our-america-video.html)
but they are really just quick segments.

I watched it - or rather, it was on and my GF watched it while I was doing other stuff - and it was sympathetic, sincere and all that.  But it was as binary and stock as you could make it.  Look, she must be a girl, she likes to use make-up, oh it has to be a boy, it's boxing... There was no real depth to it (well it is on the OWN network), pretty much like an empty box with pretty paper wrapping.

At least they didn't trot out the MtF child built like a tank on this one.

Out of respect, I won't name names, but a certain MtF child is fast becoming a media whore.  I have to suspect her mom is an attention whore.  I worry what will happen if/when said child wants to go back to their old boy life.
