"It involves at least three operations, and will take a matter of moths or years."
Now, call me dumb, but I can't for the life of me think of a medical use for moths.
On another note, I assume the transgendered gentleman in question is Butch? I know people born male that would kills for those chest muscles.

Well, you have heard of butterfly sutures? These are the same, but slightly furrier.
.... no. That didn't really work, did it?
I wonder if Kat is subcribed - she has control over this version of the entry.
Thanks for reading KA. I thought it would interest you.

She is.
Indeed it did. I hadn't really thought about a lack of terminology leaving people in a sort of limbo- but I can see how it would also 'free things up', as it were.

I saw a poster the other weekend for a support group for people who are "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual or Transgendered" and I stood looking at it and thinking - ok, so where does that leave me then? I am pretty robust and crap at support groups anyway, but it felt odd to be excluded from a group which so clearly proclaimed itself to be 'not straight'. I felt like phoning them up and whining at them, but to be honest, I have a life and all.
Ach, who cares anyway? The sun is shining, I've a spud baking in the over, and all is right with the world.
Cheers.
Girl Three.

I suspect the assumption is that the partner of a transexual will also fall into one of the other cats. You and I know that isn't true, but the queer community can be just as closed minded and set in their ways as the straight community. 'Bi-haters', for instance, are still depressingly common creatures.
