    If you have not watched this interview, I really encourage you too. Both of these women answered these invasive questions in a beautiful way. They used this platform to talk about the issues that trans* people face everyday, instead of what genitals they themselves have. It was a beautiful way to doge this invasive question, that many trans* people have to face on a daily basis.

    I've seen this already, but can't remember if I responded in another thread. I just wanted to say that I think both of them responded with grace and dignity. It's disgusting that Katie went there, but both of them handled themselves so amazingly well.

    I figured that since this is on the same topic. I'd keep it in this thread. In this article Katie Couric talks about why that question was kept in the show and not edited out in post.
