I have been writing to the List for 5 years now and no one in all that time,
until lately, has questioned my gender. I suppose that " Jude" could be
taken either way.
To help those of you who wonder whether I am male or female...I am woman,
hear me roar! My real name is Judy.
And, to answer a couple of other questions regarding gender, which I have
not answered in the past because I did not think it was my place...
Gunny is a man, and Gilly is a woman.
I hope I have cleared things up for the newbies without causing trouble
between myself and Gunny or Gilly.
I am caucasian, 5'8" before TM, blonde, leggy and beautiful...now I am about
30 pounds heavier and 5 years into paralysis which makes me not so beautiful
as people said I was before TM.
I owned a hair salon "Shear Imagination" and had been a hairstylist/ color
technician for too many years to count. At age 50, I went back to college for
a degree in psychology, was getting a 4.3 grade average and my English prof
of two years was pushing me into becoming a writer and confusing the heck out
of me.
At any rate, I didn't have to make the decision because TM came along and
turned me into a paraplegic from high up under my arms to the tips of my toes.
I have no feeling/movement/sensation in any of the affected areas and no
bowel or bladder.
That ought to cover just about all of the pertinent information that people
might want to know. Oh, I have a foley catheter that has made my life lots
easier than before. Anything else you want to know will have to be said in
private email space as this is wasting time on the List.
Sorry "bout that,
Judy
