Almost to the year, I wrote this post: When does it get better for trans* people? | Ted Eytan, MD. In it, I said “It’s time” and that our generation was going to change everything.

Video and photos below. The story has been widely reported and I’ll add, in a fair and science-based way, which is also a change. It’s both amazing and unsurprising what good health does to empower and enable people to take control of their own destiny. Who better than health care to make this happen :). It’s what we’re here for, and now we can.
