Transgender on National Geographic's cover for 1st time
National Geographic for the first time featured a transgender on one of its covers for January's special 'Gender Revolution' issue. Avery Jackson, a 9-year-old transgender girl, is the cover star of the edition, with stories like 'The Science of Gender'. "The best thing about being a girl is, now I don't have to pretend to be a boy," said Avery.
