After years of relationships that never seemed to fit, Allison Cooper finally met her match. And he was nothing—nothing—like she'd imagined.
This is a love story. Like every other. And like no other. This is a story about how one day I believed certain things about myself and the next day I realized, knew the way you know a good nectarine, that I had been wrong.

It was amid all this that my love disclosed something that should have mattered. Something the whole of my history would have insisted mattered, and yet, did not. Not really. He told me, in his typically open, candid style, that he had not been born a man.

Not a bad article, but I'm pretty sure that nobody was born a man.

That's a nice article. I may have to pull a couple quotes out of that one.
