Letters: A tough ‘Sissy’

Re “A Sissy as tough as Wyoming,� Column One, Oct. 3

Women have been wearing men’s clothing for more than a century yet are never referred to as “cross dressers.� But really, that is beside the point.

Sissy Goodwin is an admirable man. He is living true to himself and contributing to his community positively, despite ridicule, assaults and “un-American� prejudice.

“We� as a nation have real issues in need of immediate address. Many of those issues can be greatly improved when “we� stop judging and instead accept and learn from human diversity. If only people could simply ask “why� before they form an opinion.

I hope that Sissy’s courage will encourage all who are considered “others� to venture out.
