Progressive Transgender Movement

For all its chants of being the greatest country on the planet, America has really lagged behind Asian and South American countries when it comes to transgender rights, which is really just equal rights. Argentina recognized same-sex marriages a few years back, while South Korea and others have recognized post transition females as women, and many of them have married. Colombia has also been showing signs of a new respect for trans-people there; demonstrated by the recent appointment by the mayor of Bogota, who appointed Tatiana (shown above) to head up the Social Integration Department. The more we come out and hold jobs of responsibility, and do them well, the sooner we can get the mainstream past their ignorance and bigotry. Well done Colombia!!
