Now see I disagree with that to an extent. There is no reason someone cannot be gay AND a Republican nor Transgendered AND a Republican or any combination there of. That does not make them a traitor to their own group. Fighting to change something you believe in is a noble if somewhat futile cause. Being an alternative political conservative does not make you ashamed of who you are nor should it.

Then we have this woman who seems to be trying to define a form of gender identity that is acceptable to the mainstream, which for this purpose includes the G&L communities.

Honestly her entire story seems a bit contrived to me and her procedure seemed to go through very quickly.
