Last Friday was Oprah's show on the topic "Intersex". It was very interesting and I believe eye opening even for Oprah. She showcased the book "Middlesex", has anyone read it? This Friday's show should be as well. Gotta remember to set that on the DVR!

Default More on Oprah

Hi TDogg!

I haven't read that book but I did see that program ... very interesting and well done I thought ... though I didn't have enough notice to post an alert about it. It looks like Oprah is doing a series on gender variance ... there will be another transgender related program on Oct 12th, but I'll post a separate thread to announce that too. It's good to see more and better education happening in the media! : )

Oprah's program on the 28th included two of the transgender youth from the MSNBC program "Born in the Wrong Body" from a few months ago (Angelika and Jake).

This goes to Jake's profile ... click there for more on Angelika and others:

Hugs,

Hi Sherrie! Thanks for the info. I will look into that. Recorded the 9/28 show, I'll have to set the DVR for 10/12. I'm glad she's doing this!

Going to check out the links you provided.
