Caitlin Kiernan is a transsexual. I figured that out after listening to her for 10 seconds :? in an online interview somewhere, then confirmed it on her Wikipedia entry.

KayR, I think you are right.
Love what you do, and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. -Ray Bradbury

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. -Robert A. Heinlein
