Hi!

The latest issue of Oregon Quarterly, a newsmagazine published by the University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA, has an excerpt from a new work focusing on cross-dressing in the Western Frontier, which I thought might be of interest to some at this site.

Yours,

John Mead, who flunked out of the University of Oregon oh so many years ago

Reminds me of a story...

In elementary school, my daughter had to read a book called Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan, which is based on a true story.

A girl named Charlotte Parkhurst escapes from a horrible orphanage dressed as a boy, and lives to old age as a male. She goes from being a stable hand to driving stagecoaches, buys some land, votes (!).

Of course I had to read it, too. It was pretty good.

These stories are important, because they present a change in gender as natural and right.
