Harvey stood next to me, one evening, and said “ what are all these people doing here “? ((We came here to see You, Mr. Feinstein ❣️)) #BroadwaysBest

I'm very proud of her. She's quite a woman and such a hero to many of us. DA

Such a perfect interview subject: interesting, poised, charming, and sharp as a whip. But my heart breaks for the gender dysphoric. To be "trans" is to be mentally in limbo; not connecting with your biological reality yet not really being fully connected to your biological ideal either because it's all an illusion. I saw "Amy Schneider" on TV -- I DID NOT SEE A WOMAN. In all fairness, I also did not see a man. I saw someone in an ill-fitting costume I was unsure as to whom they were pretending to be.
