I have got to tell you about my pre-op friend Brandi. Last night she gave a presentation to some friends of a friend who where interested in what she was going through. These folks did not have a clue, not a clue! She sited birth defects and asked them to name some birth defects that children are born with and she got several, then she said that she to had a birth defect, she was born with male genitilia. Society, being what it is did not and does not look beyond the physical manifestations, i.e. club foot, hair lip, fused fingers, toes, etc, etc. but yet some babies are born mentally retarded which does not show up until later, so why can not a baby be born with all the female characteristics except she has male body parts? And she went on to say that fortunately in her case she can be made whole through surgery and she is most fortunate to have discovered who she really is based on her history. She did get into briefly the procedure that will take place, but her primary thrust was developing an awareness that we are all different and all of us have our own bumps and bruises and we need to be much more tolerant of those that appear to be different from what society says we should be.
Well there are six or seven newly indoctrinated folks wandering around out there now and if they tell a friend who tells a friend etc. Inroads!!!!
I am so proud of her!
Love you all,
