On March 13 at 8:00PM, CNN will air Susan Stanton's story in the documentary Her Name Was Steven. To increase visibility of those who are gender variant, CNN is asking trans people to take a self-portrait while holding a sign that has a message that you would like to share with the public about being transgender. CNN states, "People whose gender identity doesn’t match with that assigned to them at
birth say they often feel misunderstood and their voices unheard." This is a chance to be heard. If you wish, you can remain anonymous by not taking a head shot and keeping your name anonymous. You can see an example of what they are doing with this project here. The deadline for submissions is April 9, 2010. In order to submit your story, just head to CNN's iReport section.
