Thank you, Phil. This was so needed, and is so well put.

One correction, if I may: there are some actions in the body that are governed by neurons in the spinal cord, not in the brain. Of course, they are simple, physical actions, like the knee jerk, and don't rise to the level of human judgment.

Thank you for this article. As a transgender Quaker from Lancaster PA, your words are a balm during these troubled times for transgender people in the political arena and in certain religious circles. Awesome example using gender-specific relationships to help explain gender! I will use it myself.

By the way, though I would imagine others have mentioned this to you, it's LGBT, not GLBT. So it would be Lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato. : )
