Jack Drescher sent me a link to the following article, a story that moved and encouraged me greatly.

    MANCHESTER, NH – In the first grade, 6-year-old Nicholas stood up one day and told his teacher he had something important to say.....

I had a conversation with someone recently who confessed that she just doesn't "get it". A straight woman, she has come to understand and accept gay and lesbian people (we didn't discuss bisexual individuals who struggle with being silenced and marginalized by straights, gays and lesbians). Transgender issues boggled this woman's mind though.
