Last night I was taken to task on a bulletin board forum for my essay of two days ago. I was accused of not being "real," of hiding myself, of being "transphobic" because I had written about my own internal reaction to other women of a transsexual history who through no fault of their own don't manage to quite "look like woman."

I have to admit that when I first read the response I was a bit hurt, a bit angry. But I sat on that for awhile, slept on it for awhile. I have come to the following as a conclusion, or at least a place where I can live with both my own feelings and feel comfortable with what I write and peoples' responses to that.
