March - Rodger Wade Pielet, M.D.
Dr. Pielet is a aestetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon. He discussed his experience, beginning with working with burn victims which taught him about skin regeneration, to his current practice in which he has extensive experience with the transgender community. He was very likeable and approachable. He gave common sense answers to questions. Xviara Owens from "la maison du parfum" made a personal endorsement of his work. Olivia offered to go flying with him.

ODDS AND ENDS
Birth Certificate Problems in Illinois?
 Cole Thaler at Lambda Legal advises us that the ACLU, one of Lambda Legal’s ally organizations, is taking a fresh look at the Illinois Department of Public Health’s problematic policy for change of sex designation on birth certificates. They are asking for people who have been harmed by the policy to contact them. If interested, please contact Jodie Clagg at the ACLU via Jclagg@aclu.org.
