There is reason to suggest they were trans, but there’s no clarity yet. They may have used the name Elisa Wilson or be associated with the name Luis Bekkins. They are of […]
My friend Amy is pretty awesome. I don’t think she hears that often enough. I don’t think she believes it to be true. So I am putting it on the official record. I have known Amy since at least 1975 so I should know. Recently, she asked me – oh so innocently – if i […]
