"During its trailblazing, 20-year run on public television, In the Life (1992-2012) served as a primary news source for social, political and legal issues facing the LGBTQ community. Transgender advocates Kate Bornstein, Leslie Feinberg, Riki Anne Wilchins and Martine Rothblatt discuss what it means to be transgender and the sometimes violent opposition that transgender people are confronted with. From the 1996 episode, “The State of AIDS.”"

the bit about how the coalition of trans movements is the first "Civil Rights Movement to grow up in cyberspace" is so interesting and so so ahead of the curve. ("cyberqueens"is such an amazing y2k era word too lmao)

"the nature of cyberspace ... reflects a transgender experience which is 'boundary-less'".

"You suddenly have a 'body-less', voiceless communication. The timbre of your voice, [and] the shape of your body no longer predetermines interactions or assumptions people are going to lay on you. So you have to ask yourself, 'Who am I? What name do I want to use in cyberspace? And who is that person?"
