Transparent (Good Read)

[Fox]

I wonder how many alternative (GLBT, in this case) high schools there are around the country...

I didn't even know there was on in LA.

theyre all over!!!

i live in an all suburban county in NJ.
i can think of 5 by name here.
while none of them are geared to the lgbt community, theyre certainly alternative highschools for kids who cant or wont go the traditional route.

one of my biggest regrets was not going to an accelerated diploma program, and sticking high school through. i would have been in grad school already.

Thanks for suggesting this book, Alyssa! I just got back from a week of camping at the beach, and I brought this along. I loved it! I fell in love with all the girls in the book, mothers & daughters alike, but Christina especially!

Thanks again for the heads-up! Oh, and if you stumble across any other worthwhile "trans" related stories, please keep me posted.

Thanks for the heads up.

I really should read more books, and I really miss reading good novels. My work schedule is hectic, but I want to say I enjoyed a sad but true life story/movie called "Soldier's Girl"

You guys out there should watch it.

in reply to alyssa

down here there are highschool groups called GSA (gay straight alliance) they often included transgendered issues in the meetings they held.

For T's and those who love them, especially... this is good for light reading.
Though it did weigh heavily on an overly-sensitive me, emotionally.

I just got this book and am half way through it. It's very interesting.
