Rebecca Allison, MD of Phoenix AZ, a cardiologist, and transgal is the new president-elect of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association. www.glma.org

I've met Becky a number of times. I was even invited and went to a dinner party at her condo in Phoenix. The party was mainly for the very successful, passible, etc. top of the social register for transgals in the PHX area. I was late, got lost, was very nervous and I think acted somewhat mentally ill at the party. Some of the people, I thought were good friends from when we were transitioning and in the local TS (almost all MtF) support group.

Well, I never heard from any of those people again accept from one very good friend. She seems to be a recluse after remaining at Motorola (different site from mine) for 14 years post op, right after mine, then taking early retirement. I call her every few years to check on her, but she doesn't want to do anything and we don't really have much in common now. She and Kim never got along too well. She thought I was nuts for marrying Kim. Well, she was right, in more ways than one, but at least I have Kim now.

Hugs,
Renee
