Calpernia Addams -- star of the TV show Transamerican Love Story -- is amazing. Here she goes through, at length, the various awful questions she's been asked as a transwoman over the years. She talks about name changes, questions about genitals, and more! Enjoy!!!!!

Isn't Calpernia a gem? We had the wonderful opportunity to speak to her on the phone about this very video. She's very insightful and has been such an inspiration to so many trans people.

Glad to have met you at the Forum at the Center on Halsted
