Shan, are you kidding? I see my doctor every month (transitioning ya know) and when I told him that there was a group of people who were insisting that I was as high risk as a drug using, street walking, tranny prostitute he said, and I quote "why would they say that?" I said, because I'm a pre-op tranny, and he said "that's ridiculous, you have to have sex in order to get HIV", and then he laughed because he's always telling me I need to date more, (another story).

Your position on my risk factor is extremely odd considering you know so little about my sex life. I read the studies you and the other one posted and NONE of them had anything to do with me. But whatever. You're free to think what you want, I just think it's a little weird that you and the others aren't jumping all over poor Louise's risk factor like you guys did me and I never even said I was going out to meet someone.?

In regard to political mindedness, don't forget that I am an OUT transsexual in transition, and at this stage in the game, I'm not even able to hide anymore. I don't pass as a woman and I've told everyone that I'm in transition, so my politics are right there where everyone can see. I also donated a couple of hundred bucks to the Lyon-Martin center (wish I could have given more) last summer when they were almost forced to close down. Lyon-Martin by the way is a free/donation clinic in SF that serves women and TS women only.

I have no idea why you are taking such a nasty position against me, but I can tell you that I don't appreciate it.
