Quick Moderator Note
I ask that people try to be respectful of one another on this forum. I noticed that Apple implied a willingness to discuss gender issues outside of the gender binary, but no one picked up on that. I know that Dana is also very attuned to intersex issues. I am often faced with my own painful experience of shame, secrecy, and denial around my own body. I think that self-discovery is often similar to unpeeling the layers of an onion. As Kate mentioned, continuing intimacy will be a project of self-discovery involving both Jon and his girlfriend. I believe that the success of Bodies Like Ours depends on a rather delicate balancing of various personal perspectives. The best way to keep the conversation going is by making a positive contribution to it.
