ezs note:  Lake and Polk counties (Florida) - To be sure, Kelli Stargel has the right to her own opinion.  What she does NOT have is the right to punish transgender athletes because of her deranged opinion.  If she insists on this, make Sen. Stargel into FORMER Sen. Stargel.

As you might know, Emily's Virtual Rocket has been around a while.  You'd think that  I  would get some fabulous clothes.  Uh, not really.  I get clothing, but it's male clothing.

I am not asking for a handout.  What I would like is if you see an article that really moves or inspires you, sending an article of clothing would be a way of saying "thank you".  Just send one item.  It doesn't have to be from Saks or Cartier.  In fact, sending a good lightly used item would be just as appreciated.  I am very large (280 pounds/127 kilograms), but I am following one item Weight Watchers diligently. Here's what I'm looking for:

• tops (not too loud or flashy)
• wig (medium to dark brown)
• slacks
•  skirt (knee length) 
• panties (new only, cotton preferable)
• bra (new only)
• nylons (new only)
• socks (extra-large please)
• insert into bra (C cup, no larger)
• sweater
• coat
• inexpensive necklace (long)
• inexpensive perfume

For three of the items which I specify as new, I am not calling for expense or extravagance.  Family Dollar, Target, or Wal-Mart, for example, will do nicely.  Here's the address:
