Spain is our next stop with a quick story from "typicallyspanish.com"
"Carla Antonelli" (shown to the right) was sworn in Tuesday and became the first transsexual woman to hold a seat in a regional Spanish parliament. She said her election was the result of long struggles by thousands of transsexuals..
Our next story comes from North Carolina. A very "edgy" publication called "Vice" profiled "Hillary" a transsexual skateboarder. As I read the article, I wasn't expecting much. The farther I read the more impressed I became. Here's an excerpt from "Chris Nieratkos":
"I both loved and pitied the girl I met down there. So much of skateboarding has become so vanilla and boring that my heart sings on the rare occasions when I meet someone marching to their own beat, and to me, there’s nothing more punk rock than being a transsexual skateboarder. That comes with a lot of headaches, though. Inner turmoil. Alienation. Fear. Loneliness. When I met Hillary she was going through all these things and more, and you can feel it in her interview. It took over an hour of talking over coffee before she let her guard down and warmed up to me.
All of this is very new to Hillary, and she’s still learning to deal with her change and to be comfortable around her old friends in her skate community. I think this interview will help speed that along. She’s young. I think in two years she’ll be more at ease with herself. In five or ten years I can see her blossoming into a happy, confident young lady."
Very nice!
Before we move on. Let me explain "edgy". Here's another look at "Vice's Girl News and Why They Hate Each Other". "If you think that things are good for women because you liked Bridesmaids and bought the new Beyonce song/lie about girls running things (sure about that, B?) and follow that one brown comedian chick on Twitter, then I have to ask you if you’re f---ing retarded and didn’t notice that almost every single thing as it relates to girls is still the worst."
