This week on the Logo and Sundance networts TransGeneration "a groundbreaking 8-part verite-documentary series that captures a year in the life of four transgender college students. The series follows four unique individuals, two male-to-females and two female-to-males as they struggle to transition from one gender to the other in the midst of a grueling school year," airs beginning on Oct. 11th. This is not a recommendation, just a report.
Last year California’s Supreme Court ordered a halt to gay marriages in the state after San Francisco's mayor allowed for them. Last month the state's legislature passed a bill allowing for gay marriage but Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed it last week. In the midst of this nation-wide battle, the number of youth who are questioning their gender is increasing. This is no small thing and I talked about it on the show today, asking questions such as, "Is it ethical for doctors to perform sex-change operations on very young women...who can't even make up their mind what their major should be?" This is a very serious issue.
