My apologies. I haven't kept up with this thread but I intend to do so.

In the meantime, I have a question. A friend of a friend posted that s/he (I dunno) is "transitioning as a woman". So, is s/he "becoming a wo/man? I just don't understand the lingo. Makes it difficult to join in the conversation when you don't know what is being discussed.

Thanks in advance for any help provided for my understanding the terminology.
