The first word I need to discuss is a favorite of mine and it is ->-bleeped-<-.  It is a lot like the n-word in many ways. The first time I ever heard the word was from the "icon" of all transsexuals Christine Jorgensen. We corresponded for several years after we initially met when I was 14 and she always warned me not to get into the ->-bleeped-<- culture that was beginning to come about and often when I visited Harry in NYC until Kevin died the other people like me used the term ->-bleeped-<- and it was never used as a pejorative or thought to be such at least not in my mind early on.
