My reaction pales in comparison because I've edited my original post quite a bit since I realized it was likely offensive to many. I should also clarify that, when I said, "I was floored to know that there even was such a thing" in my previous comment, I was referring to the "Day", not to transgenders in general.Now, it's my turn. I DO have a red-headed step-child...so, careful! :-)Thanks for reading. Bobbie,

You have likely heard so little about this issue because, frankly the news items that appear almost weekly around the country do not interest you.

Transpersons, generally, are very fearful about this proposition because of the reaction, and yours pales in comparison - thank you for the sensitivity you did show. They also have a very real fear for their physical safety, depending on how they "present" in terms of their level of transition. Some transwomen are very fortunate and avoid these fears because they pass easily and completely. There is a very good chance that you work, socilaize, vote, worship, pay taxes, go to PTA meetings, etc. with or very close to a transwoman or man. many people do no know or understand about us because they just don't see us. Others do not want to know or understand.We are sort of the red headed stepchild of the LGBT movement, but, as hearts and minds begin to open and change we too find acceptance and a place in this world as should be for all persons, no matter their stripe. Change is coming. Check out Obama's diversity policy. So, you now you know - k. And, thanks for listening. HAGD, Bobbie Chris: My name is Bobbie (duh!) I am an attorney for the State of Montana.

Thanks for commenting. I admit to being ignorant about these things. When I first saw the headline on the Google blog, I was floored to know that there even was such a thing. I did state in the post that I am quite against anyone who commits such a heinous act of violence. I was just trying to lighten the mood a bit. Sorry if I took it too far. Hi, strawberry.

So I'll just let you know for future reference: "Happy Tranny Day!" is an INCREDIBLY offensive headline for a post about this.Firstly, the majority of trans people find the word "tranny" to be incredibly offensive on it's own. But more importantly, Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day where people from the trans community are mourning and remembering the countless people who were murdered just because they were different.
