I was driving my son to preschool this morning and listening to NPR. There was a moving interview with Theresa Sparks along with her story of being raised in Kentucky as "Beaver Cleaver". She talked about getting married and having children thinking that this would "fix" everything. The thing needing fixed was that she felt like she was a woman in a mans body. She eventually came to accept herself and went through gender reassignment surgery. Since this, she has been living in the San Francisco area and has done many wonderful things to advocate for transgender individuals. To read up on her: http://www.theresasparks.com/advocacy.html
It is worth the read! Way to go Theresa, we love you!
