As I mentioned a few days ago, transgender issues do seem to be appearing in the mainstream news a lot more than they used to.
Is it actually (gasp!) becoming socially acceptable to acknowledge that we exist and that it’s a real and legitimate issue?
Today story was about Hannah Winterbourne, the UK’s first transgender officer in the British Army.

It’s being reported by both the Daily Telegraph and also The Sun. The latter has it on their front page!
