My name is Alexander Sierra, and I am a transgender student at UCF. In the Sept. 13 issue of the Future, on Page A10, on the bottom right corner, this was published:

"The president and most of the good ole boys on the BOT are somewhat conservative businessmen. Behind closed doors, I am sure they laugh at the idea of gender identity, as do most in their generation.

"I personally think it is odd and very abnormal human behavior to think one needs to be the opposite sex. I guess I don't really care about it, but it is very odd to me."
