Damn, that entry made me cry. I really hope you gather together a collection of your writings and essays to publish some day - lots of your MA response papers should go in it too.

I was reading an article in the magazine section of the Sunday paper on intersex babies today - amazed me because it's such a conservative newspaper, and yet the magazine section will cover these interesting stories from a quite unbiased perspective (at the same time as covering boring wealthy posh people and their boring wealthy lifestyles).

BTW, did you get the email I sent a couple of days ago? I need to know what address to have Xmas stuff sent to - when are you moving? Is it safe to send them to LA?

realcdaae sent me here, and I'm glad she did. I don't mean to intrude, but I wanted to say thank you for that story. Your mother's words about Sean are heartwarming and memorable and it's because of people like her that the world is as accepting as it is. And it's a wonderful memory of her. I am sorry you did not get to hear her words directed towards you; but I'd like to see her regard for Sean as an indirect conversation with the adult you.

Have just reserved TransGeneration to watch.
