Margaret Stumpp: I think the days of transgender people being something you only see on Jerry Springer--the yelling crowd, the feathered boa, the outrageous outfits--have changed. As more of us go through that process and people are exposed, it becomes much less threatening. It gives people a chance to rethink gender--what does it mean to be male or female? What are the stereotypes that we're dealing with in society? How many of those stereotypes are genuine and how fluid is human nature?
