I just spoke of this in another post that every one of our people on the front lines freely admit to having been born of the other sex. I also feel that very few in the "T world" are willing to be painted with the "gay brush".....That is the reason that I very much enjoy being the "older lady" in the Jacksonville Transgender Action groups....The young people are willing to accept that they are being viewed as "queer" by the ignorant and intolerant. By the way,Austin,Texas is an accepting place...people need to grow a thick skin in order to be out there...anywhere..
