I don't have to look too far to see that I've personally become a lightning rod regarding the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Basically, I've become the personification for fear-mongering over the idea that repeal of DADT will either immediately, or eventually, result in transgender people being able to serve openly in the military services. As I highlighted in yesterday's diary (entitled FRC's DADT Press Conference: Just Call Me "Or Something"), to Frank Gaffney of the Center For Security Policy  -- and apparently of the Family Research Council (FRC) as well -- I am the answer to the question "What's wrong with this picture?" From the FRC's November 30, 2010 DADT press conference (at about the 33-minute mark of the press conference video):
