American Horror Story
I went backstage at the biggest political show on earth- and found America telling stories about itself.

‘My Country Accepts Me as a Woman’
Hillary Clinton was the force behind a little-known breakthrough in transgender rights. So why doesn’t she talk about it?

Yet another example of Hillary getting stuff done and making a significant and measurable positive impact on people's lives. Trans people in this case. And as far as I can tell she does it quite simply because it's the right thing to do, and she *can*. Whatever her flaws (which I won't point out, people are far too eager to list them), I believe her when she says that she adheres to what her Methodist faith has taught her:

“Do all the good you can, for all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can.”
