So, many UK stations are refusing to air Oasis, both the vid and single, due to it being too light hearted about serious subjects.

Amanda Palmer, in all her wonderfulness, has some stuff to tell these kinds of people

From TransAction's list of gender terminolgy...(empahsis is mine)

Transgender (or trans): a term used to describe people who transgress social gender norms; often used as an umbrella term to include transsexual, genderqueer, gender nonconforming or cross-dressers. People must selfidentify as transgender in order for the term to be appropriately used to describe them.

Transition: The period during which a transgender person begins to live more fully as their true gender, which may include any combination of the following: alterations to dress, name changes, changing preferred pronouns, hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery. After transitioning and surgery, some transgender people identify only as a man or as a woman. Not all trans people want nor have access to hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery.

GLSEN rocks ^_^ I'm going to try to get this posted in the dorm for TransAction day.

I also put a bi pride flag, trans pride flag, and trans pride emblem onto my door. We'll see what happens.
