Kate Bornstein is not only a talented and gifted writer, performer, speaker and person, she is also one of the most kind hearted, good natured and well intentioned people I have ever met.

In order to understand the absurdity of what has happened to her, I have decided to post the article, in it’s entirety right here. I sometimes forget, because I’m constantly surrounded by people and situations that aren’t necessarily “normal” for everyone, that the outside world is still so messed up. BUT alas, it is.

This isn’t about sex. Kate’s book isn’t about sex. It’s a guide for students who are learning to cope. Who don’t fit in. Who want to know there are alternatives. Things can and will be okay. But apparently, they’ll have to learn this the hard way.

And even through it all, Kate is still positive. You have to love her. Trust me, you do.
