American Apparel has either launched a clothing line for mtf trans people or someone is playing a joke

Is it really love or just a game? American Apparel has apparently launched a new line of clothing for MTF trans people called Trans Am, or someone is making a very bad and very elaborate joke. There is a lot of conflicting news fluttering around the web about this at the moment, and a lot of it is commentary from other blogs (which isn't necessarily reliable, critical or very trans-friendly) but so far not much from AA itself. I checked out AA's website but no information is listed to either confirm or deny that this is an official AA campaign.

Trans Am, In Which American Apparel Designs for Transsexuals [NSFW]

Look, we're no style mavens, but even in spite of the f---ing leggings, we categorically agree that earth tones and comfortable cotton cardigans make the store a guilty pleasure, so we were pleased to find this video featuring Trans Am, the company's new line of garments exclusively designed for the intersexed.

Obviously, at American Apparel, there's room for everyone (and "every" "thing").
