Dale Bartholomew Cooper is transgender, not only is he transgender but Dale Cooper was his birth name. He just added the āBartholomewā. He came out in 1961 and both of his parents were radically accepting. They wanted him to have a happy midcentury boyhood but it was difficult to provide, not because of his gender identity but because he was severely asthmatic and stalked by a manifestation of all of the evil in the world. Being transgender causes him little to no consternation. He is stealth but Albert does his medical evaluation every quarter so that is no obstacle. He occasionally forgets he is transgender.
