no problem!

I'm already working on my letter to the editor regarding that fact... plus, I can't pass up a chance to smear (ooops, did I say that out loud?) the Governor on his ignorance and fear...

Yeah, I just picked up a copy in the gas station and was like,

" Woah, look at the cover!".

Of cource I read it right away. Interesting.

I am wondering if I know this guy.

I never heard of that Doc in Williston (I'm a CHC Guy). I don't have much experience with Fletcher Allen regarding specific trans stuff but that experience with the hysto kind of freaks me out.

It's a typical story of the discrimination...

I'm really really glad you never ever heard of Dr. Nash. He's horrible! He's treated some folks badly, in a very transphobic way, and is quite a gatekeeper when it comes to accessing surgeries locally.

I just love my doc, and i couldnt imagine going to anyone other than her so I am willing to go to the health center and wait forever.

What did Dr. Nash do specifically?

I have never hear of anyone getting any srs surgeries locally.

Apparently, the family approached Seven Days in order to get some attention/resolution regarding the discrimination and lack of awareness that they had encountered at Fletcher Allen. So that kind of resolves/reverses my initial wariness about how the paper's choice of profile might represent the demographics of trans issues/trans community. . .

The bottom line, imo, is that this is a huuge step for Seven Days.
