It went very slowly, like cooking a frog in warmer and warmer water, then it escalated until BAM!
Men and women are created equal, yet different. There was a time when those differences were enjoyed and celebrated.... now the whole world just seemed mixed up!

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Not a political comment.... I loved the character of Klinger on MASH.

Klinger was a cross-dresser - not a transvestite. There is a huge difference.

I tried to get into the Military but could not because of my hearing disability. I also can't join the police force because of the hearing disability. I know a few transgendered individuals and it is an extensive medical process that might be a problem for someone in the military.

There is also a difference between Gay and Transgendered. Gays simply prefer their own gender while a transgendered person wants to be the opposite gender. A gay person is not going to have the medical issues that a transgendered person does. I know a transgendered woman who was a man in the military. She was buff as a man and remained buff as a woman.
