http://www.huffingtonpost.com/emerson-whitney/queering-language_b_1088112.htmlA wide-eyed reporter recently exclaimed to me, "It's like you're reaching a critical mass!" I pointed at my chest and mouthed, "Me?" before I realized that he meant transgender people in general.
I laughed -- couldn't help it.
The idea of a "transgender critical mass" seems silly from the rural space where I live. There are only two other transgender people whom I know of (one of whom lives in my house) within several hundred miles. But that didn't matter to my friendly, fellow reporter.
