Question of the Week
" I would love to hear more about crossdressing on your show. I see you have only 7 shows about crossdressing. I believe there are so many out there that have had the hate, misunderstanding, and ridicule that I had to deal with from my ex-wife. I would love to hear more about crossdressing and how others deal with it. "

 Boston became the latest city to outlaw trans discrimination this week when the city council approved an amendment to the city's anti-discrimination ordinance, protecting gender identity and expression. Trans activist and lawyer Cole Thaler tells us what it took to make the change happen, and the limits of the new protection.
 The ordinance was passed through the efforts of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC), formed in 2001 as an organization of Boston and Boston-area residents working to eradicate discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression. The MTPC membership is made up of community activists, lawyers, health care advocates, lobbyists, students and community members from all arenas.
