Last week GLAAD and the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) announced the upcoming national launch of the "I AM: Trans People Speak" video campaign. The campaign aims to spotlight the stories of transgender Americans and their allies in an effort to educate the public about transgender issues, as well as speak to transgender youth and adults.  After it was announced last week, the campaign has been receiving considerable attention from advocates and the media.
