There is no doubt he/she was very brave for the pioneering work that was done. I wrote he/she because Virginia always claimed to be a Crossdresser and was 'just' a man who happens to take hormones, lives 24/7 looking like a woman and probably socializing like one. *shrug*.

I met Virginia two times and the first time I met her I found Virginia blunt and tactless. Anyway, this was my introduction to Virginia at a social event (buffet line) :

*Virginia looks me up and down*

Then with no preamble Virginia says:

"You're too tall!"

Way to help somebody's confidence Virginia.

Virginia then goes on to criticize me for other things if I recall ( like a side of beef. )

*Sigh*

FWIW, I am under 5'9" and weighed barely 138 pounds back then and was only about 24 years of age. Yes I am kinda tall for one of Asian descent but not THAT bad. I was also wearing jeans and a top and sneakers so I did not have heels on to make me the 'GIANT'.

Still, I wish her rest.
