I just found this article about Laura Jane Grace (Formerly Tom Gabel, Punk Rocker). I think it would be perfect to share with my wife.

Interestingly, the article says there are 700,000 transgender people in the United States. The statistic isn't footnoted but I rarely ever see numbers mentioned.

How did they come up with this number? I think it would be hard to come up with a number considering how many may be in the closest and thereby lie about their gender identity, and how ambiguous a term like transgender can be. It reminds me of the difficulties of trying to classify and count how many bio-males crossdress.

Clara,

I like your new avatar. (I suppose eventually I should join the club of using a picture of myself as my avatar? )
