It looks like the TV channel, Lifetime, will be airing an original Lifetime movie about the Gwen Araujo story. Unfortunately, they note Sylvia's last name as Araujo, but it's actually Guerrero. Gwen's last name was Araujo, though:

Lifetime Original Movies

"The Gwen Araujo Story" -- June -- Mercedes Ruehl ("Mom at 16") and J.D. Pardo ("American Dreams") headline the real-life story of Sylvia Araujo, a mother raising her young son who, as he grows into his teen years, begins dressing and acting as a girl. When the son's transgender status is discovered by four young males at a local party, they brutally murder him. Braun Entertainment.

...and on VH1, they have David Arquette's transgender sibling, Alexis, on the Surreal Life 6. From watching the clips, Alexis could benefit from a little more voice coaching.

Could this be the curse of Courtney Cox, though??? She was in Ace Ventura with the former football kicker turned maniacal policewoman out to kill poor old Dan Marino, played the wife of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) whose father was a Las Vegas showgirl, and is the wife of David Arquette. Hmmm...

...and this morning I caught a news article on TV about a man who dressed up as a woman to rob a grocery store. He was caught later on when a police officer noticed the stockings hanging out of the car door. Is this the case of another transgender woman or just a crafty disguise?? Who knows. When I find the link, I'll be sure to include it.
