 GLAAD: Focus on Lynn Conway
Conway's story came to light because of a researcher who began checking into the details of a 30-year-old IBM supercomputer project.
Michael A. Hiltzik's cover story "Through the Gender Labyrinth" traces Conway's life from boyhood, through the confusion of teenage and early adult years, to a marriage with two children and finally to transition and a continuing stellar career in the computer industry as a woman.
Conway's amazing career, which includes Memorex, IBM, Xerox Corp., the U.S. Department of Defense and now the University of Michigan, disproves the myth that transgender people are marginal, unable to succeed in society and not able to maintain long-term relationships.

Sadly, just before Lynn underwent sex reassignment surgery in 1968, she was fired by IBM for being transsexual and lost all connections to her important work there.
For years Lynn lived with an ever-present sense of danger, fearful that exposure of her past could cause her to lose her civil rights, legal rights and employment rights, and to suffer estrangements in her professional and personal relationships.
Lynn is the first truly successful case to come out of long-term stealth and tell her story.

 Robert Christgau: CG: Artist 3241
In most of these pungently colloquial songs (punch line of "You Wanna Give Me a Lift": "But this ole gal ain't goin' that far"), Lynn is either boasting or telling somebody off, and even when she's addressing herself to a woman, what's got her excited is a man--her man, for better or (usually) worse.
Like any country workhorse, Lynn customarily pads her three or four albums a year with the popular songs of the day.
Lynn's "L-O-V-E, Love," about talking dirty, is among the best, and there's not a bummer in the bunch.

If they seemed charmed at this point, they would soon appear invincible as they hit the top spot again and again.
There are a few old-fashioned cheating songs of the sort at which Twitty and Lynn excel, a bow to honky tonk heritage with Webb Pierce's "Back Street Affair," and one bit of modern slang wrapped in straight country music (Billy Edd Wheeler's "You Blow My Mind").
