Diane’s Story

From seeing her video story, Diane Schroer seems pretty typical of transwomen.

Stories like this make me wonder: Just how much can our society afford to dump good people because they are not understood, or because they present in ways we don't expect? How much can we afford to judge them? And why do some people seem to become so offended at the simple existence of transpeople?

I also wonder how do we as a society evaluate courage, and how do we value it?

I place it at a high value. I'm guessing Diane does, too. And regardless of what she says, I think she has it in spades. I know. I've walked a path all too similar to hers.
