"Sam Taub. Leelah Alcorn. Blake Brockington. Kyler Prescott. You've probably never heard their names, but their stories are all too familiar in this day and age: All of these young people took their lives because of the hate they received as transgender individuals."

You can argue that one or the other [Caitlyn Jenner & Chelsea Manning] is the "spokesperson" for the transgender movement, but it's a conversation that shouldn't even be happening in the first place.
As a transgender ally and supporter, I don't think this is what we should be shedding a light on. I don't care who the face of the movement is; I just care that someone, anyone, is helping to spread a message of love and acceptance for those struggling just to make it through the day.
QFT.
Oh, and remember: As with TDoR, these are just the names we hear about. For every one we hear about, I'm guessing there are ten or more we don't.
