giantCplus is correct. When I first joined this group I chastised the moderators for their bias. I received one response from them and noted that the moderators’ statements appeared to be less biased afterward. So I suppose my message was heard.Now to answer giantCplus' question. Yes there are transgendered people who still read the thread. I am transgendered. I am also an active member of the Church, a college graduate, been married more than 30 years, have four grown children, three grandchildren, have taught college and am a professional Failure Analyst. (The last is like a physicist, mathematician, chemist, and materials scientist rolled into one.) I would rather be known for those accomplishments rather than for my transgendered status, or my eye color for that matter. I have always been transgendered from my earliest memories even though I had no concept of it. I knew from an early age I should have been born a girl. Transgendered people are all around, but they are hidden, as I was, because of people’s reaction similar to the comments that have appeared in some of the messages posted. After all, why would someone go to great lengths just to be shunned and lied about? Why not just go with the flow? (Why didn’t Joseph Smith go with the flow?) The short version of the answer is because they cannot, just as Joseph Smith could not deny what he had experienced. I wrote a treatise a few minutes ago to post, then decided this was enough for now. My continued presence at lds.net will depend on the responses that are generated by this post. I am like the majority of the population, I do not stay where my presence is not welcomed (or at least tolerated if not welcomed). I will be reading but future posting will depend on the members. I am a teacher and will willing share what I know and have learned, both within the Gospel and outside of it.
