Hi folks, Sandy here. McKenzie and I met in the mythic time of the latter part of the XXth Century, when she (then he) met a busful of middle-aged theoreticians debarking at a conference venue. McKenzie glanced at me and then stared with an expression I interpreted as loathing, and which later I realized was something more akin to terror. I thought that they might be an F2M afraid of being outed, so out of courtesy I gave them a wide berth. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t. Roads not taken, ships that pass in the night…<br>
<br>
At any rate, we’re here now, and it’s a great pleasure.<br>
<br>
Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of young transpeople in what at some point in the past was a general catchphrase for personal turbulence: going through changes. Right. Ch-ch-ch-changes. Who knew.<br>
<br>
Well. The present moment is so chockfull of changes. A close relative, an intelligent, perceptive, empathetic and caring person, is a Trumpist. J Epstein, an intelligent, perceptive philanthropist, was a raging pedophile. Valerie Plame has launched a campaign video that either reduces or elevates politics to the level of Hollywood spectacle — literally… all it lacks is Jason Statham and Vin Diesel getting out of the car behind her. A woman has given birth to a cow’s head. We’re all busy slouching toward our particular Bethlehem. What’s not to like?<br>
<br>
I’ll say something about change that’s more related to this thread later. This is just a little introductory blurt until I have more time.<br>
<br>
