: It�s distressing to know that some people are still so prudish about gender-related issues such as gender-reassignment surgery. The members of the General Court were courageous to rule in favor of Hall�s own definition of self, a ruling which no doubt raised more than a few eyebrows in 17th-century Virginia. Seems like we haven�t progressed very far, if at all, in the last three hundred and seventy odd years in regards to gender issues.

Goody Sandy, Myrrh and MMMMarcia,
I just love all this solid history you all come up with from time to time--usually the side of history my college professors preferred to ignore! Thanks so much!
