February 20, 2014 – Segment 3Listen to our interview with CeCe McDonald, a transgender woman and activist from Minneapolis, and Katie Burgess, Executive Director of Trans Youth Support Network in Minneapolis. McDonald was released from prison on January 13th after serving 19 months for her alleged involvement in stabbing a man with scissors.

She was held in a men’s prison, even though she identifies as a trans woman.
