00:00 Introduction
13:22 Question of the week:
" I was wondering if lying is a big problem in the transgender community. Several trans-folk that I have met seem to tell huge lies about themselves, some for protection, and others perhaps for attention. The lies include false identities and fictional life events. I am not implying that all transfolk lie, but I am wondering if it is a community issue, or I have just met some questionable people within the community. " (from: N., Philadelphia)

A listener shared these resources for LGBT health:

One option is a resource on the cdc.gov website:
  http://www.cdc.gov/lgbthealth/
Another option is: http://www.shoutouthealth.com
Also, I wondered whether you'd consider adding an additional resource on your site? This topic is far too important to get as little attention as it does: A Man's Guide to Intimacy After Prostate Cancer
