I received an e-mail recently from the editor of Westminster College's college newspaper from an student requesting to interview me about being trans.

I worry that I don't really know how to relay my experience and perspectives in a nutshell that won't just come out as completely foreign blabber. But, somehow, someway, this poor journalist student somehow deciphered my ranting and raving wrote about it. The print version has a huge red Ken and Barbie doll backdrop and also an advertisement for this Saturday's conference.
