"I have a favorite story that I am pleased to say startled Chip Delany when he first heard it. A close acquaintance of mine, some years back, claimed that if you were truly Christian, you had to also be a transvestite, because Christianity meant to love others; but to love others you must first love yourself; but the Bible said [NB: it doesn't] that loving someone of the same gender was wrong; so, in order to love yourself, you must be able to look in the mirror and see someone of the opposite gender. And, yes, he was perfectly serious.

"Try that on a few of the religious right, and see where it gets you."

(Rob Hansen replied, "Oh, that's wonderful. I love the idea of this guy convincing others of the logic of his argument, and this spawning a new breakaway Christian sect." Hmmmmm. Time for D'Glenn to found a sect? Kinda puts a new spin on the word "crossdressing", doesn't it? Start suggesting names for this church, folks...)
