ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :

ezs note:  These are some wise words from Dr. Saguy.  If you are in imminent danger, that's one thing,  but if your friends and neighbors simply misunderstand what it is to be transgender, I think you need to understand what bravery is. Those are my two cents, anyway.
