26:47 Question of the Week

"In smaller communities, it seems like post-ops become automatic role models . According to Dr.Walter Bockting, there is no correct way to transition. I believe at least 3 leading TG rights advocates chose to be non-op including Phyllis Frye and Holly Boswell. How do you communicate that surgery is not always necessary for everyone?"
(From: Ricki)
