Is It The Trans' Turn Yet?

In the latest TNR cover story, Eliza Gray sees transexual equality as the next big - and long overdue - civil rights struggle:

    For a long time, gay and trans people were equally marginalized in the United States, and so they tended to band together. But this all started to change with the rise of the modern gay rights movement, which began in earnest in June 1969, after the police raided the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. By some accounts, the Stonewall riot broke out when a drag queen named Sylvia Rivera threw a beer bottle.
