I know the topic of being realistic about how life can be for trans people has been a hot topic lately, or it seems that way anyway.  I think this article is really well done on the subj.  Also, it was retweeted by Patton Oswalt and idk, it would be kind of a big deal if somebody with his reach started to become an ally.  Pretty rad.

Cracked.com has unfortunately gone downhill*, but this was easily one of the most informative articles I've seen in a long time.

It's also articles like these which make me glad I can view the comments by the highest voted first.

* I'm still thankful it exists, otherwise I'd never have met an awesome group of people.

I like Cracked.com for the most part, there can be a depressing amount of misogyny in the comments at times though. I thought the Trans article was pretty good and even made several comments myself.
