"This original Logo documentary looks at the lives of four transgender women intertwined with the casting, rehearsal and opening of a V-Day benefit production of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues." The women confront and discuss the issues they face as transgender women and how "The Vagina Monologues" is used as a vehicle to address these issues to a mass audience. Part of Logo's Real Momentum documentary series." -- from logoonline.com

so true, when you first come out your family accepts but with a fear of the world and other people making fun of them and you but when i went in the public everyone would tell my mother what a beautiful daughter, my brother you have a sexy sister and to my cousins whats her number?. thats when they got over there fears and they knew that it will be alright.

well umm i never really paid attention to trans ppl but Valerie Spencer has the seam exact name as me. I don't understand any transsexuals I mean they could have some kind of extra hormones that some ppl don't have. BUT WAIT DONT TURN AWAY YET I DONT GET UR STRENGTH IT IS AMAZING TO GO THROUGH GETTING BEAT DOWN JUST TO BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE AND I THINK THAT IS REMARKABLE TO HAVE THAT STRENGTH I HOPE WHEN I GET OLDER I CAN HAVE A OUNCE OF THAT STRENGTH.
