Do you have any idea why Boston would be a target for terrorism? Usually there is some significance to the targets and I can't fathom what it is in this case. I'm in the UK and know almost nothing about Boston.

I'm transgender myself and am intrigued to know how gender variance exists in different societies. I know there are 'Two-Spirit' people but wasn't sure whether they exist / are accepted across all Native American cultures. Does your reservation accept such people? Do they have any other name? Either way how are they viewed? Wishing you well from the UK :P

That's great. Thank you, it's nice to know that! Wish many other societies would adopt that gracious attitude!

Thanks Ididn't realise that about the marathon. Clearly the day was significant in terms of causing more damage to crowds of people, which is often what qualifies it as a target. Still unsure of the potential political/ideological motivation. I gather now they have been in Boston long enough to know the area. I'm getting the feeling that they could be unaffiliated with any organization as such but performing some independent jihad. Guess only time will tell! Hope you are safe!

Actually, I've worked in a mental hospital and there were patients with anorexia there. In fact, many were in far more danger than your average schizophrenic patient.
