i've been lurking this discussion...nothing really to add in terms of content at the moment, but i wanted to recognize gilda's effort in bringing a great discussion to this board... perhaps the one question/comment i would raise is one more about community and idenity. GBLT and it's later incarnations, GBLTQ, GBLTQA, GBLTQIQ, etc...all implcitly link trans idenity with queer idenity and community. to what extent do you think this is reality? are trans individuals really welcome in queer space? does this language help us be allies to each other, or does it collapse differences? just a few things that crossed my mind...
that, and you're being a fantastic sister. i've always thought that with a few good allies, nearly anything is possible. best wishes to sissy in her recovery.
