<DIV>> Can anyone suggest a source for a discussion of terms used for/by </DIV>
<DIV>> transgender folks in the U.S.? If it is tied to different perspectives </DIV>
<DIV>> on how to do being a transexual - as that has changed over time in the </DIV>
<DIV>> U.S. - that would be helpful too.</DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> by 'different perspectives' I mean, for example: "surgery is the only </DIV>
<DIV>> option", vs, nonsurgical options, and gender blurring and blending.</DIV>
<DIV>> </DIV>
<DIV>> Has anyone found readings that would be useful in a Language and Gender </DIV>
<DIV>> course?</DIV>
