These days, she whips around town in her silver Porsche Boxster, shuttling between surgeries and routine gynecological exams, between socializing with her Trinidad- native partner and heading north to the airport for one more stop in the parade of public appearances that now thread through her life.
Four years after leaving her wife and kids and run-of-the-mill doctor gig in Seattle, she is one of the more visible impresarios of the transgender movement.
Other transgenders treat her like a rock star, even traveling to Trinidad just to be around her.

Oh how funny! I saw Trinidad, and went, but they KILL anything queerish in Trinidad!
Then I opened the page and saw that it was about "the new Doc," back in Colorado.
Coloradans are weird like that. Most of the state is very conservative and even judgmental, but once people meet you, they open up. They are not near as dogmatic in their conservative ideology as many other states. That is what drives FotF (Focus on the Family) crazy. That this kind of thing goes on in their state, less than two hours down I-25 away from their "world headquarters." If they can't control their own state, what can they control?
The new doc set up shop after I left the SW, but the place was already a hotbed of "TG" activity because of Biber, I suppose. Everybody in Denver and Colorado Springs knew about the "nip 'n tuck" in trinidad. It was no secret at all. But I'll bet this article was a surprise to people there. She has taken Biber's quiet little practice to a whole new level. In essence, she brought a piece of the sophisticated NW to a backwards little corner of Colorado, and I can't see that as anything but good.
I still need some corrective work that I have been putting off because of the healing time, but her reputation and handicraft make me want to at least consult her before I look elsewhere.

The results that i have seen and the feedback I have received from those who have gone out to see her put her on my list of surgeons I would go to should I ever hit the lottery or happen to find a sugar daddy or mommy. :)
I saw a special on Discovery Health called Changing Sexes, the Aftermath or something similar. They focused quite a bit on her.
