"Back then, although most people saw me as an exceptionally effeminate gay man, I was largely accepted. Yet when I transitioned, my (female) lover and I were asked to leave lesbian meetings. I was publicly disinvited to women's events. I was twice thrown out of the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. A National Organization for Women chapter told me I was welcome to join as a man.  Even by 1995, when 40 of us showed up at a Falls City, Neb., courthouse after the murder of Brandon Teena, many gay newspapers ignored us, not considering Teena's murder "gay news."
