It was heartwarming to see Chaz in this interview. So often our media portrays the trans community as negative stereotypes. Rarely do we get to see a transition shown in such a positive light void of judgmental hype. I applaud Good Morning America for a professional and fair interview. My applause is even louder for Chaz and his courage.
The trans community faces more than it's fair share of societal challenges. It takes enormous courage to come out as trans. Violence against the trans community is staggering. People transitioning are particularly vulnerable because it is more difficult to pass. According to the Human Rights Council a trans person has a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered while heterosexual people have a 1 in 18,000 chance of being murdered.

Never heard of these people...But great for transpeople. But I've heard of Kin Petras and I think she should be talked about more :0 She's a great singer and I fancy her to be honest.
