I was driving to the school for my placement when I heard an excerpt from this video in Viral Video of the Day on Steve Wright in the afternoon. I was driving through Dalston and I got some very funny looks as I couldn't stop from doubling over in the car laughing ( Read more... )

My favourite web-comic, Questionable Content, has decided to touch on trans issues in todays comic. Starting today there looks like there'll be a trans story arc, as one of the characters has revealed she's trans.
