I was listening to a snippet of the radio show This American Life in the car on the local NPR affiliate. It was telling a cute story about two girls named Lily and Thomasina who became fast friends. And then, the twist:
And they were both born boys, although it became clear pretty early on that they'd prefer to be girls.

The comments under that blog disturb me.
But then again, who am I?
I love NPR and I love to listen to anything Ira Glass (the guy behind 'This American Life') does.

Yeah, I've got that website on my bookmarks just in case I don't get around to listening to it on the radio.
Gunna have to 'tune in' Monday while I'm at home.
