MSNBC's segment on "Being Trans* in America"

MSNBC had a twenty minute segment on "Being Trans* in America," with special guests trans*-activist superstar and scholar, Kate Bornstein; Exec Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, Mara Keisling; and Mel Wymore, a Dem candidate for NYC City Council.

I was really impressed by this panel and by MSNBC's production of the segment -- there's something to be said about hearing from non-Chaz-Bonos
