If so, I was surprised to see them invite Kate Bornstein, to hear them talk a lot about the trans narrative, and to talk more about trans prisoners and homeless.
I think it was still a bit to disproportionate as far as representation. Yes, they talked about racism, yet the entire panel other than the hostess appeared to be white, middle to upper class trans people. If they wanted to bring more awareness of other narratives and experiences than the typical one (as they said they wanted to), then they should have had a bit more diversity of speakers sharing their experiences. Trans people who have been imprisoned, experienced discrimination etc.

Melissa Harris Perry is on MSNBC on weekend mornings right after UP with Chris. I can see he revisiting this when folks bring the conversation to her.
