Telling transgender stories online

At the beginning of the year, I wrote about a friend of mine who started a video blog about his experiences as a young trans man.

Last saturday, Salon contributor Tracy Clark-Flory posted an article about how more and more young transgender individuals are telling their own stories online, in blog posts, videos and more. It’s an online grassroots movement, telling people all over the world: you are not alone.

It doesn’t matter if you are queer, straight, cisgender, transgender: it takes bravery to expose oneself, to tell your story for the world to hear, see and comment about.

I’m glad someone out there is saying what they want to say, in a way that is true to them. Kudos.
