Mike,
A friend who lives in your area sent me your column on Shrek 2 and how it (and possibly Larry King) promotes the "transgender agenda."
I'm always fascinated to discover what my agenda is. Still I'm concerned that Frank York spends so much time thinking about me. He seems kinda oily. As for the guys dressed as girls using the girls bathrooms... hey, let me tell you, a guy dressed as a girl is NOT going to use the men's room. I've got to wonder why Mr. York would want us to do that. Yes, Frank concerns me a lot. By the way, Frank, (Hellooo!) they have stalls in those bathrooms. Nope. No eyes trying to put the mental micrometer on you like in the men's room. Now I'm concerned Frank spends a lot of time in the men's room just...watching.
If it makes a difference, I spent twenty-six years in the Army, am airborne and Ranger qualified and served in all of the combat arms. I've held top secret, COSMIC, and atomic clearances. My time for taking over the world was then, and it wasn't in a dress. Being transgendered isn't something you flaunt openly in the Army, but I've known a bunch. I've seen macho and feminine from both sides. I'm one of the least confused human beings on the face of the Earth. Give me the skirt any day.
When I saw "Shrek 2" I was ambivalent about the TG humor. I never let a five o'clock shadow show, I don't sound like Larry King and I'm not confused about my gender at all. Frank will die in disbelief when he learns that the biology of gender and sexual identity is just as "natural" as the physical parts. I acknowledge belonging to a very tiny minority of the male population. There's even fewer of us than left-handed people (who, OBTW, used to be considered evil.) But that doesn't stop nature from celebrating diversity when it happens. Too bad Frank isn't able to celebrate much. I'm glad I'm not like Frank.
You go, Mike!
Sincerely,
Barbara Van Horn
