A Hayward couple, Diane and Jacob Anderson-Minshall, are queer even in the LGBT “community.” Besides being co-authors of a lesbian murder thriller, Blind Curves, published by the lesbian-themed publisher Bold Strokes Books, their own relationship is not easily defined. Is it lesbian heterosexualism or heterosexual lesbianism?
For, Jacob, once a man trapped in a woman’s body, is now, presumably a woman transformed into a man. But for many years Jacob was Susannah, and she and Diane met 17 years ago at a gay pride parade in Boise, Idaho. Up until about 13 years, they were a lesbian couple; but four years ago, Susannah underwent the treatments and surgeries to maker her a “he.” Now, said the May 1 Oakland Tribune, “the two share their lives in Hayward as transgender man and lesbian wife.”
Got that? Who's what, when?
