Dear Jeff:

I must say I am rather impressed with letter writer Walter Dean Blake in The Edmonton Journal. Walter's a straight man who is awaiting gender reassignment surgery & as such goes by the female moniker of Juanita Diane Blake. Walter/Juanita is making gender reassignment surgery & being comfy with those that are different of paramount importance. Students who might &/or do have gender issues or are scared of the LGBT community can now learn from Walter/Juanita that its okay to be different.

This is why I respect the decision of Fred Horne & Premier Alison II fully restore gender reassignment surgery. Fred as Health Minister & Alison as Premier are showing that they care IV folks of all community's & truly want to make transgendered Albertans a real part of the mainstream. This will do wonders IV transgendered students of both this & future generations.

Applause & I Applaud The Bravery Of The Edmonton Journal Editorial Staff,

Rory
