I can see why someone  in  your  position  would  begin  to  feel  somewhat
persecuted.  I'll  bet  you  get  some interesting hate mail.  On the other
hand, that "y'all" takes in me  and  that  I  must  protest.  I've  nothing
against  you  or  transsexuals  in general.  One of my dearest friends is a
female->male transsexual.  I'd love to get him in on  the  discussion,  but
he's  not  on  the  net  and  lives  in England (and is usually too busy to
write).

Anyway, perhaps it doesn't get said often enough that not  all  of  us  are
rejecting  you  for  what you are, even though it may feel so at times.  I,
for one, find your articles interesting and generally worth reading, though
I  don't  always  agree  with  what you say and may take time to express my
differing views.  We aren't _all_ swine.
