Newsweek
On the one hand, it's not about Alec or Heather per se, or about the music. And I note that while Alec is quite frank in one-on-one conversation, on stage he sticks to the faerie tale.

On the other hand, it's a topic we've touched on multiple times. So...

Newsweek has a story on Rethinking Gender: What Makes Us Male or Female?. Most of those profiled are MTF, but there are a few FTMs represented.

Hopefully this sort of national mainstream media coverage will have a positive impact on the US overall. While this is not too out-of-the-ordinary for Seattle, I think we all know there are communities that are not at all accepting. I know Alec was very relieved that he got such a positive reception at Norwes - and I hope that he continues to get such a positive reception ...

(Which is part of the reason for the faerie tale, I would think - there are going to be some who want to assume Alec is one of Heather's brothers, and she's off training horses or raising dogs or having babies somewhere.)
