My grandfather's name was Vince Guaraldi

Maaaaan. Christmas isn't Christmas without your grandfather's work.

I could have been that pink-haired little girl -- I took the Last Unicorn film out of the library again and again when I was small, and then I grew up, and I grew cynical, and I forgot a lot about it.

Until my husband gave it to me one Valentine's Day, and I watched it again, and I hit the part where Molly says to the unicorn "where were you when I was new? how dare you come to me when I am this?" and I went zero to full-on sobbing. To this day I've never seen anything capture so well that dread of growing old and useless and leaving everything bright and magical behind.

I'm such a Cordelia fangirl, I can't even. I recommended Cordelia's Honor to an Internet friend, and when she got hooked it was all I could do not to spam her going "Where are you now? What's happening? ISN'T SHE THE BEST"

Thank you for doing this AMA. It's been fascinating to hear not only about your experience as an intersex person, but also about what your life is like in Oman; it's so very different from mine in America.

You are a beautiful and brave person, no matter your gender. I hope your surgery goes well and you're happy.

Wow, I had no idea there was a word for me -- "beluga grad".

I used to dance to your tapes in my parents' basement, and my dad played your songs on his guitar. Twenty-some years later I'm singing Baby Beluga to my cat. Just wanted to say thanks for my childhood.
