There is anowther gray area I believe also. I am in a gray area. Though I was born female and want to kiss boys, I always felt better hanging out with those with penises. I am much more at home helping to do a tune-up than baking cookies. I admire carpenters and bricklayers and would rather be one tha say, a maid or a cook. My aptitude tests in the service said my first two careers should have been either an MP or a mechanic. There ya go. Mybe hormones, maybe not. I dunno.

Jenny, the woman who was a professor at a college in Maine, recently had her SRS, wrote a book, was on Oprah, and is staying with her wife Grace of 25(?) years, has some very interesting things to say about the hormones too. She actually feels now that testosterones gave her a sort of emotional shield, and that the estrogens not only took the shield away but gave her more access to her emotions and intuition. What have your experiences with these things been?

Hi Ms Leslie. I don't know if I've told you about this film yet or not but I think it's one of the best films I've ever seen. It's called Ma Vie En Rose (My Life in Pink). It's about a little boy who knows that he is really a girl and how his family deals with it. It's funny and sad all at the same time. http://www.sonypictures.com/classics/mavieenrose/

Sliding scale -- that really says it all. (I used to compare it to pH, that measure of acidity that has 14 levels of acid-base, for those who thought it was simply either-or.) When you realize that sliding scales exist to measure more than one aspect of each person, it just proves that we're all unique. (My kids learned it early; it was *Mom* who fixed broken toys.)
