Transgender In America (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/08/28/transgender


The story of Private then-Bradley Manning and his massive leak of classified documents to Wikileaks was big enough.  The day after Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison for that leak, it got bigger.  Manning’s attorney announced that the Army private self-identified as a woman.  That her name was now Chelsea.

And with that, millions of Americans were pointed again to the world of transgender fellow citizens.  To the complexity of gender identity and to often complex feelings in response.

This hour, On Point:  we talk with transgender Americans about their lives, their reality.
- Tom Ashbrook
