I bit the bullet and read ALL the comments, guess I'm just feeling masochistic today.

There were the usual "sex essentialists", the religious, the people who don't understand science beyond 9th grade health class, even one " ->-bleeped-<-" fan. There were also a greater number of loving, understanding, wonderful people coming to our defense. I'm sure some of them were closeted transpeople but surely not all or even most. It gives me hope.
Hope's been kinda thin on the ground for me lately.
