  • During its trailblazing, 20-year run on public television, In the Life (1992-2012) served as a primary news source for social, political and legal issues facing the LGBTQ community. Transgender advocates Kate Bornstein, Leslie Feinberg, Riki Anne Wilchins and Martine Rothblatt discuss what it means to be transgender and the sometimes violent opposition that transgender people are confronted with. From the 1996 episode, “The State of AIDS.”

    Over 20 years later and we're still fighting for the same things Leslie, Riki, and others fought for back then.

      AGP, your public sex fetish doesn't deserve "rights".

    When they are describing the people that attack them, I can't help wondering if those people are really attacking them because they are so outraged by someone that doesn't fit in the standard gender stereotypes, or if those people are actually just violent sociopaths that would attack anyone that they think they might be able to get away with attacking. Then, considering how the police treat them, it makes me wonder how many police officers are actually violent sociopaths of the same type...

      I totally agree. With the rapes that leslie went through. Those people attacked her because they know that know one cares about their human rights so they can get away with everything.

    There's no acknowledgement of intersex people at all, even in this.

    It's interesting. I used to support "trans rights" and considered them my "brothers and sisters" because I'm a homosexual.
    Then I engaged and listened to transactivists, and "terfs", and learned far more about this dreary topic than I ever wanted to learn.
    Now I oppose transgenderism.
