Unless Trans Civil Rights Are Protected, It WON'T Get Better
Posted by Monica Roberts at 2:00 AM

I've been posting the videos from various people in the 'It Gets Better' campaign produced by African-American, trans and Latino/a personalities on these electronic pages.

While the messages from these folks have been wonderful, appreciated and needed, the campaign still hasn't addressed the root causes of the issues that drive young TBLG kids to take their lives.

Transpeople face disrespect inside and outside the BTLG community.  While the Internet has been a wonderful way for us to organize and disseminate information around the world about our community, at the same time it is a double edged sword.    We also get the see the negativity that society aims at us on a regular basis as well.
