TransTainment! It covers transgender people in the arts and entertainment biz. Today there’s news of Dylan Mulvaney, Jinkx Monsoon in Little Shop of Horrors, Charles Busch’s new play, Alexandra Billings in Queen Tut, and more.
Last week the tweets hit the fan when President Trump announced on Twitter that he was “banning” trans people from the military. Searching for transgender news brought up loads of stories on the presidential ban. So TWIT is a bit heavy on that news. We did manage to find other news so it’s not all about the ban. There’s the study by MSU that says married trans folks are less likely to face discrimination. The “third gender” of Pakistan don’t like the rise of the transgender identity. A trans man is peddling across the country to highlight assaults by intimate partners. The LDS church excommunicates a trans woman for being a woman. News about The Louise Lawrence Transgender Archive. All that and more along with a couple of TWIT Awards is waiting for you in TWIT!
A TG navy vet has had her records updated. More graduation gown controversy. (Why do they still make grads wear those?) A libertarian think tank honors a TG economist. A transwoman in Hong Kong will be allowed to marry. Dr. Michele Angello has a book coming out. And more in TWIT!
