the general Philadelphia area and represent a congregation or religious
organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added - all faiths

Dear Editors:

Thank you for your coverage of the transgendered
movement.  It is very important for people to
understand that our national obsession with gender
roles, especially our enforcement of them through
religious teaching, causes great distress and harm to
very real people.


					Sincerely,
