You have to hand it to Rep. Barney Frank, the man knows how to
empathize. In the first-ever congressional hearing on workplace
discrimination against transgender people, held by the House in late
June in an Education and Labor subcommittee, Frank said he understands
what it means to be trapped in the wrong body — because that is what
happens when his legislation gets bogged down over in the Senate.

I have never, to my recall, ever have read a more understanding view of TG/TS by a cissexual person who wasn't a therapist or doctor who has actually worked with us. Kathleen Peratis "gets" it. Excellent.

Quote(It is a bit of irony that trans women seem to be far more likely to wear a dress than are anatomically born women.)

Most T women that I know and interact with are just as likely (in perceived percentage) to wear a dress as the cisgendered women that I interact with day to day. And that is rarely.
