Hi Alexandra!!!

Thank you for providing that link. The lady has a lot of intestinal fortitude to put her transition so public, and her supportive wife has got to be one in at least a million

. I have passed this link on to some others who will find it of interest.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. It also says a lot about Portland, Oregon too, a very accepting and opened minded city. The mayor and (then) chief of police along with his lesbian daughter also on the force have marched in gay pride parades.

Hi Alexandra. I visited Portland in 1965, I believe the occasion was our ship was one of several to represent the US Navy for a Rose Festival? I had some sour boilers and spent most of the visit back on the ship trying to be sure we got underway again, so only had a few hours. Would like a return match some day soon.

Her selection of a Thai doctor would seem to be a popular choice these days, as the cost of all surgery goes through the roof in the US, and the Thai's have had a long history of acceptance of "lady boys" as part of the social structure. Interesting.

Thanks again.
