My grandmother is proud of her ability to spot character flaws from a mile away, apparently developed sometimes AFTER she married and divorced my gran...father. Twice. I knew she wouldn’t let him off the hook so easily, she would try to test his dedication to me. After his short but polite answer, she took a pause. ‘Any plans for marriage, you two?’ She glanced at me, but was really asking him. I couldn’t help him anyway, this part of the test was entirely up to him, he had to sink or swim. She got up and padded down the hallway. The young man was making up a double bed in what must be his bedroom. She tapped lightly on the doorframe with a fingernail. The man jumped comically and put a hand to his heart again.

Sorry,’ he stammered. ‘Just through there.’ She smiled again and turned to go, then remembered. She didn’t. It's your choice".Melody dropped her hands to her sides. Rain finished opening the front of the blouse and slipped it off of her friend's shoulders. A tiny white padded bra came into view.

Amanda did end up quitting to go to Hammond-Berkley, as did Bob. Everyone else decided to stay on and accept beingstandardized to female.As I pulled into work on February 5th I saw a large semi-truck parked offto the side of the office building. I couldn't read the side from theplace where I ended up parking but I knew what the truck was. It was amobile gender reassignment machine. Just as CT and MRI scanners are placedon trucks and moved between hospitals, GRMs fit.
