It is a step in the right direction. I do hope that trans people get more positive press as Lea T. here, aside from the blatant pronoun sensationalization that most media deems necessary. They are all about garbing the readers attention, and they can't necessarily say "She's got a penis!" now can they.
Yes I'm saying I understand why they do it... But am I saying I approve? Hell no! They won't change till the general public learns of us, and unfortunately... The average person hears about us through corporate controlled media. And even that the general public (for the most part) doesn't want to learn. About transgenderism or anything else. They like to stay in the dark.
