Wait, I thought you liked to sleep late.  
I'm not sure how you found that, but the author essentially seems to just be some random blogger of no consequence - the "About" page for his profile is blank.  I guess if one wanted to delve into such theories, one could take any custom or tradition and try to show how it is "rooted" in some dubious policies or practices of the past, especially if they do or show very little research or proof.

Yup. True.  There's much more to his story though.

Yah...I'm shocked and amazed.  
I actually used my benefits to get on the hydro massage bed thingy after I finished this morning.  That was something else, I tell ya!  I can use the tanning beds, too....but tanning beds aren't my thing.  They have massage chairs as well.  It's nice and there's no one there that early except for Gina and Jess....and maybe a few other scragglers.  It's nice.

My gas mower was self propelled too, but this is, of course, different. It's just an adjustment.

He's nearly 30. So this has been thought out.   Had a mastectomy, not sure about the plumbing.   He's been an EMT down around Dallas for years and is now going to med school.


Sounds like he's figured out who he is and what makes him happy. Yeah, like others here have said, talk to him if you're interested. If I had a nephew in a similar situation who was willing to discuss his story, I'd be quite interested to learn how he figured things out for himself. How conflicted or out of sorts did he feel before the gender re-assignment? How did he figure out where he wanted to end up? I think most people in similar situations, even today, don't have a lot of guidance or support. I'm sure the process is wrenching at times. 

I had a male friend who had a homosexual encounter when he was he a freshman in college, and I had to talk him down right after it happened. He was in emotional agony and dealing with shame and self-revulsion. Several years later he decided he was gay but he put a couple of girlfriends through hell getting there. That experience made me fully appreciate that sexual and gender identities are not binary. 

If you care about someone, you have to accept them for who they are even as they struggle to figure that out. The good news as I see it is that people switching gender identities have a much easier time of it these days. The bad news is that it's still pretty rough and the whole issue has turned into a political football. I think it's awful that the GOP is trying to turn this into a major plank in their platform, disguising it as "protecting the children." We've been down this road before—protecting the white women from black men, black people from political exploitation (through political participation), moral decency and young children from gay people, American way of life from Marxism and atheism, etc. etc. 

Good luck to you and your nephew, Kurt.
