TRANGENDER IN THE NEWS

A transmale student from California’s Fresno High School has made history, by being the first openly transgendered student in America to run for Prom king!..
Seventeen-year-old Cinthia Covarrubias, ran against six other students for the title of prom king on Saturday April 21. Even though Covarrubias lost to another student, his loss can be considered a major win—not for transgendered people.
Not every student in his high school was happy when Cinthia competed for the title. But Cinthia Covarrubias recognizes that his fight is more important than approval. Which is as far as I am concerned a great attitude!

TRANSGENDER RIGHTS

As mentioned earlier, I having been donating much needed books to my local library! My way of helping others understand some of the issues of bein g a transgender. Also I have been reviewing some of the books that I have recently bought on line. This is the lastest book that I am currenting reading is: Transgender Rights which was edit by Paisley Currah, Richard M. Juang, and Shannon Price Minter, basically this book (paperback) is a collection of essays dealing with topics like employment policies, family law, public health, economics, and grassroots organizing.

I found this book full of information for people like myself and gives web sites to help me do more research. It explained the laws and basic rights that Transgenders have and ways to help overcome the discrimination against Transgenders

Books that I also recommend you to read or more important donate to your local library :
