Tips For Finding Love And Acceptance In The Trans Community. Starting With The Men.
We look at a training video from the US Department of Justice meant to educate law enforcement on the transgender community so they can become sensitive to our issues. Good idea, but will it work?
We see this as yet another great indication that transgender people are being increasingly accepted by the mainstream. This can only mean more opportunity for transwomen and transamorous men to find the acceptance they crave.
In this era of BlackLivesMatter, it seems cops, generally, can’t recognize themselves in the people they are “sworn to protect and serve.” However, I have to remind myself that media reports of cops killing black people represents minority of the number of encounters people have with the police. As much as it is challenging to remember, I believe the majority of police officers are doing their best in a, frankly, shitty situation.
So when I came across this federally-sponsored transgender sensitivity training video, My first reaction was “wow, they really went a long way to produce this video. Well done.” Then my cynicism popped up and I had to allow that prejudice to subside before realizing that this video will not only help cops become more sensitive to the Trans community’s issues, it will probably create more favorable – i.e. respectful – encounters between police and transgender people.
It’s worth a watch.

Like many transwomen, Abby believes in unicorns. You know, that rare, fantasy of a man who is attracted to you not as a sex object, but for who you are. Do you believe men like this are impossible to find or don’t exist at all? In this episode, we call bull shit on all that. There are tons of men out there who are wanting to be with you. So how do you find them? We talk with Abby about that and more.
Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomer both got into trouble over the last two weeks for perpetuating the modern version of blacksploitation, only this time on the Trans community. By not casting a real trans person to play the leading role in their new movie, they pissed off the transcommunity. Michelle Rodriguez is being trashed for her leading role in a ridiculous film about at man who unwillingly gets tits and a vagina. No, this isn’t gender confirmation surgery. Not in the least.
