My father was among the first of his generation to look into writers who've become part of the American lit. canon. When he wrote his master's thesis on William Faulkner in the Forties, he couldn't find anybody on the faculty at Columbia University to oversee it because they didn't read Faulkner.

Mein Vater war einer der ersten seiner Generation, der sich mit Schriftstellern befasste, die Teil des amerikanischen Staatsbürgers geworden sind. Kanon. Als er seine Masterarbeit über William Faulkner in den vierziger Jahren schrieb, konnte er an der Fakultät der Columbia University niemanden finden, der sie beaufsichtigte, weil sie Faulkner nicht gelesen hatte.

In the first couple of years when you're transitioning you don't really fit into any gender, because you're changing over. You have to start getting electrolysis before you even start your therapy. But I think all the weird looks help to give you conviction in who you really are.
