Tapping into the Trans Canada (and Trans Family) Pipeline

So we learned this week that yet another family member has decided to cross the floor, gender-wise.

She'll no doubt have a somewhat rocky road ahead of her, though perhaps not as rocky as the road was twenty-five or thirty years ago! And she's a free agent in that she has no spouse or children who could get caught in the crossfire.

All of which leaves me wondering whether there is any kind of a genetic or biological or hereditary nature to this business. Is it nature or nurture or a combination of both? Or is it just a social trend of some sort, an extension of the unisex and androgyny trends (fads?) of the sixties and seventies?

People (especially the younger generations) seem relatively blasé about gay or bisexual preferences these days and a number of people have commented on how gender fluidity is at the stage sexual orientation was at just a generation ago.

Meanwhile, I welcome her to the sisterhood.
