Question of the week
Question: "I have heard that Yahoo, who now owns Geocities, considered transgendered topics perverse and obscene. Do they plan to get rid of the hundreds of TG sites under Geocities over ignorance?" (from: Joney Harper, Raleigh, NC)
Question: "I'm listening to your 5/7/01 show and hear the question of the week about "what constitutes gender?" and feel compelled to ask this. I own 2 men's jackets, 1 of which I wore today. Does that make me a cross-dresser? If my brother wore a woman's jacket, would that make him a cross-dresser? " (from Teresa, Arlington, MA)
