Auburn has a transvestite professor. They should be moved up the list
Agreed. They should be #1.
As a polymer and fiber engineering professor, Dr. Gwynedd Thomas teaches Auburn University students about the correct composition of protective body armor. In a way, she says, this instruction is a metaphor for the protective yet false shield she carried around most of her life. Until recently, she begrudgingly accepted and portrayed her birth gender—male—so she wouldn't have to face the social repercussions.
About four years ago, Thomas decided it was worth the risk to be herself.
"There comes a point in everyone's life, often as you're approaching the end of your life, that you've got to express yourself as yourself," she says.
Thomas is in her mid-50s, and she became a "full-time" transsexual, or transgender, woman last fall. This entails dressing, speaking and expressing herself in every way possible as a woman, even though she was born male.
"I was already aware by the time I was 3 years old that I was gender variant," Thomas says. "(Transsexuals) are the gender we say we are, we just didn't get the right body."
That may change, however, as the professor is considering gender reassignment surgery. But if this doesn't "come to pass," whether for financial or personal reasons, Thomas says she's content to continue living as a female in every other way.
"This is not about choosing sexual partners," she adds. "I am considering it because I would like to be who I should've been to the best of my ability."

Kentucky had a sex week a few weeks ago. The slogan was "Sex Week @ UK. It's Coming. RU?"
The events ranged from "Sex Toys 101" — a frank seminar about bedroom accessories — to lectures and panel discussions about religions' approaches to sex or ways to teach sex education, as well as belly dancing classes and sensual poetry readings.
Most of it was sponsored by Pure Romance, an Ohio-based firm that hosts sex product and education parties at private homes.
