If you are a veteran or active duty person who identifies as being transgender, the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) would like you to take our survey.

I transitioned last century. Okay, it was in the mid-1990s but sometimes it feels like a century ago. The days of worrying about electrolysis, saving for surgery, battling employers and walking terrified in public places are long gone.

For a long time before I was officially "reassigned" (isn't that the most ridiculous term for changing gender?), I believed that once I had my surgery, all my trials would be over. Life would be a breeze. I would meet the man of my dreams, adopt a few little kinderlings and drink margaritas as we all watched the sunsets together. Suburban bliss. What was smoking?

for the last 55 years. Every year, Lucy offers to hold a football
so Charlie Brown can kick it. Every year, Charlie Brown runs to
kick the football. And every year, Lucy yanks it away at the last
moment.
