Thank you Emma:) I do know of Brynn Tannenhill and saw her speech. I think it was called "I Am Real." It was so inspiring and helped reinforce my attitude about facing critics with understanding, patience and education. I remember one things she said, "If you wrestle with pigs, you get dirty and the pigs like it."
Dear Karen,
Please be careful when buying "discounted" (opened?) packages of sex toys, to carefully sanitize them when you get them home.
Yours truly,
Monica
Hi Warren, I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties with your family. Support is so important and so many don't get enough from the people in their lives that matter most. I hope that you won't give up on your family, sometimes acceptance and support take time. On the bright side, I'm happy for you that work is going well.

I suggest that you Google for Brynn Tannehill's wonderful speech that she gave last fall to (I can't recall the exact group) a transgender conference.
Also, Lynn Conway, who has an excellent website that provides a lot of detail on her transition and past. She's a very well recognized engineer and leader of the development of VLSI chip technology.
