Seventeen Slammed for Transphobic Article
By Julie Bolcer

http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2009/10/28/Seventeen_Slammed_for_Transphobic_Article/

A young LGBT activist has launched a Facebook campaign against Seventeen magazine in response to its publication of an article that portrays transgender people in a highly negative way.

The November issue of the teen glossy includes an article called "True Life Drama: My Boyfriend Turned Out to Be a Girl," written by a young woman named Sheri, as told to editor Jessica Press. In the article Sheri recounts her experience with Derek, who is ultimately revealed to be a young trans man.
