PORT ANGELES -- How does it feel when you're a big, tall man dressed as a woman -- high heels, miniskirt and enhanced bosom -- and people stop to gawk at you?

"I have to think about that," Adams said. "I've gotten so used to it."
She's a "trans," a transgendered male-to-female, and for 17 years has been organizing the Esprit Gala, the Pacific Northwest's transgender convention held every spring at the Red Lion Hotel in Port Angeles.
