About a previous Tyra Banks program with a transgender topic:
*** Here is the Tyra Banks website link for their "Coming out as transgender" program from April 16th

*** Just for reference, I posted these comments in another thread awhile back regarding the April 16th episode of The Tyra Banks Show ...
"... I was flipping through TV channels and happened to stumble upon a Tyra Banks talk show episode in progress ... on transgender issues ... they had two sibling stories where one of the siblings was transgender ... they also had a surgeon (Dr. Marci Bowers) who does transgender surgeries, and she is transgender herself. The program included an especially cool parent who had helped finance part of his son's F2M surgery.
In some ways it was the typical talk show scenario, but considering the format, I thought it was actually pretty good, in terms of Tyra's level of understanding ... even though I wish that in this case they would have spent a little more time clarifying the distinction between gay and transgender ... then again, maybe they did so during the beginning part of the show that I missed."
