- Maybe I'm crazy, but the last lesbian I was around on a regular basis
- I just called her by her name. Why? Because she was quite good at her job
- and well... I really couldn't see how who she was interested in made any
- difference for or against what she had to do at work.
-
- or by the name that I use of my own choosing. Why because its a better label
- than anything else, and it describes me and my accomplishments... Not what
- segments of society say is wrong with me.
-
- My only other question is what prey tell does the labeling of female homoseuxals
- have to do with alt.transgendered? With the exception of folks in situations
- where the individual is T* and coming out of or going into the homosexual
- community... Where does it apply? (Now the problems with that always apply)
-
- Guess what folks... Kristine is back.
-
- Chris/Kristine no longer out at NCSU...
