"I am finally blossoming into the real me. My partner for ten years Jennifer is really trying to be supportive. I told her at the onset about my crossdressing, and while she is supportive, she thinks it's all about me and does nothing for her. How can we grow together as a couple through my transition. I feel that I am transgendered, although I am still somewhat confused. I guess I need some more information from people like ourselves. Any information or advice you could give would be very helpful and appreciated."

Co-editors of the brilliant new book Transgender Rights talk with us about the book's content and some of the leading aspects of the current struggle to secure civil rights for trans persons. Richard Juang, an independent scholar and co-chair of the National Center for Transgender Equality Advisory Board joins us in the studio, while Shannon Price Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and a founding board member of the Transgender Law and Policy Institute, joins the discussion by phone.
