some people probably know who this is and why this recording was made, but I SURE DIDN'T. i'm still a little shocked that this powerfully well-spoken LGBT leader existed and I didn't know her name. shame on me!!!

my favorite part of the whole interview was the clunky question: "when the operation was complete, do you know what disposition was made of, uh, the parts that were removed?" and her elegant answer. she's an icon!
