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.

Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.
