Transgendered Resource Links and News Links

Virginia transsexual resources...not sure what this is...looks like a list of places in Richmond, Va. The list was last updated Dec. 14, 2010, so it's current.

And the following link is a report released in 2007. Gonna keep looking to see if I can find anything about them taking corrective measures.

DADT Repeal is Awesome, But We're Not Done!

Follow the link below to an article on Change.org that asks everyone to remember the Transsexual service members who are not subject to DADT or its subsequent Repeal.
