ezs note:  South Dakotans - if you find yourself pissed off about this whole deal, remember, YOU can do something about it.  Write a letter to the editor.  Appear on cable TV.  Knock on the door of your friends and neighbors, to let them know that the term 'transgender' isn't someone in some far-off place - you're their friend.

ezs note:  This is the report we've been waiting for.  Awhile back, I filled out the survey, and urged others to do the same.  Now, the US Transgender Survey is out.  In its long form, it's a long read, but in my humble opinion, this is one of most important documents you'll ever read.  For those more comfortable with Spanish, a shorter document is available.

In other words, read it!
