In every conversation I have had about the problems transgender people have eventually get to a comment, "people are afraid of what they don't understand" and then "our" problems becomes a matter of ignorance.  So, to eliminate ignorance is to educate.  That is the Prism Direction and Prism Radio mission so we are going to do a Trans 101 series of shows beginning with defining what transgender is.

You have thoughts or questions?

Homelessness for transgender people exist at a very high level.  According the National Center for Transgender Equality, 20% of transgender people in the US have been refused a home or apartment and 10 percent has been evicted because of their gender identity.  Transgender people that are homeless also face discrimination at most facilities that assist homeless people with 29% indicating being turned away from a shelter due to being transgender.

Pamala French is the Producer and Director of a documentary called, “Becoming More Visible”.  It is a very nicely done film about transgender teens in New York City.  Pamala is currently trying to fund her project through Kickstarter.  So, we have invited Pamala to help promote her very important video and hopefully get the support she needs.

We will take live calls or you can join Holly in the chatroom or email her at [email protected].

So, a conversation started on Facebook with a transgirl posting this message:  

"Hey all, 

Abit of a dillemma. Last night, I met a nice guy and basically we ended up kissing on the dancefloor. 

We were both slightly drunk. 

However, he's like to meet up with me again and take me out on a date. 

Another thing is...I didn't tell him that I'm trans...

Should I tell him? 

If so, how and when? "

This created a conversation of 48 comments within a few hours so it seems it is a topic of some interest.  So, what do you think?  Let us know...here is how:
