DR. HOOK- Change up: Transgenders seek understanding

Transgender people are the bravest people in the world. (If Barbra Streisand ever makes a sequel to Funny Girl, she can add those lyrics to her song "People.") In the USA, gender roles are narrowly defined and stringent. That's why I don't go to comedy clubs anymore-- 99 percent of all jokes are about how men and women are different or bashing gay people. I'd rather go to an Aryan Nation meeting.

So for a man to become a woman or for a woman to become a man in this society is harder than Rush Limbaugh and Michael J. Fox going out on a date.
