Kelly’s recap

by Kelly - 14 July 2007

Greetings to all.  By way of introduction, I am a 56 year old genetic male, who has been aware of two powerful "issues" (for lack of a better word at the moment) since I was about 5-7 years old:

1. I am transgendered
2. I am transabled

Airline travel, the trip home

This post recounts my adventures in air travel as a wheeler, on my voyage home from my recent trip. It takes the form of notes that I typed up at several points throughout the day.
