'T'-Party at Creating Change in Detroit - 'Each of Us Can Decide for Ourselves in which Bathroom We Belong'

Creating Change or Creating Confusion? Radical author Patrick Califia embodies the "transgender" chaos at the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's annual activists' "Creating Change"  conference, to be held in Detroit Feb. 6-10. The biologically female Califia once considered herself a butch lesbian, but then opted for a "female-to-male" transgender identity, ending up as a self-described "gay man." — which would make her a gay man trapped in a lesbian's body. In order to minimize "transphobic situations," the Task Force is warning Creating Change attendees that "a person's external appearance may not match their internal gender identity."
