try harder, do better

today's lgbtq update is unfortunately from my own city, where customs agents at pearson act like real clueless jerks when dealing with a transgender woman. come on! do better! ugh. 

* trans woman held in a male-only facility after being detained at pearson airport for an expired visa. (and then the internet helps and she is moved to a female jail.)

how is it so hard to use the right pronouns?! at very least. it sure doesn't seem very hard. to me. but, ya know, whateves. meanwhile. better things:

* blake brockington wins homecoming king

* barneys launches spring campaign featuring transgender models

let us all try harder, like olympians.
