What a year 2008 was. First on June 13th a Friday Dr. Marci L. Bowers called and asked if I would like to come to Trinidad, Colorado early for my Reassignment Surgery. She told me a opening had became available for July 31st. I sat but could not speak. With tears streaming down my face I told her YES. After so many long years of hoping and dreaming my date had moved in five months. She asked if I was okay and I said I had never been better. Little did I know it would be so much more. On July 29th Cami and I flew to Colorado Springs and after renting a car drove the 127 miles south to Trinidad. On July 31st at about 12 noon I was walked into

December 4, 2008 in Trinidad Colorado in the caring hands of an Angel named Dr. Marci Bowers. She will with her hands guided by above will finish what I tried to do at the age of six, 49 years ago, and correct that part of me that has never identified me truly as who I really am.  I at last will have a body I can live comfortable in.

   The religious and extreme right say there is no need for EDNA or any federal protection of those whose sexual orientation or gender identity is in their view outside the "natural order" based on religious beliefs. They say their is no discrimination or hate crimes. Thus no need for laws of protection. Also stated is that their rights are above the Civil Rights of others because their's are based and a religious belief. They should be allowed to discriminate, preach un acceptance thus promoting hate with full protection under federal law. Again because of their interpretation of the Bible. No where in our Declaration of Independence or Cons
