Considering the evidence I'm probably some kind of IS. And most likely PAIS.

Inter-Sex. Not male, not female; in-between.

You were, of course, right to bring up IS when I originally joined this forum. There's a pretty good chance I'm some kind of it, too. But you got right up my nose with your immediate implication that there's something wrong with me, and that I should rush to a doctor.

If I'm IS, fine. The medical establishment actually does consider that a birth defect. And I'd probably be upset about that, if my give-a-shit wasn't broken. But... well... I'm pretty fucking awesome, all round.

You are, let's face it, an argumentative sort. I don't happen to think that's a bad thing. It's a sign of a better than average mind. And I do enjoy a good argument -- Monty Python style or not. Half the things I've said to you, if I had said them to an average mind, would have resulted in glazed eyes and drool. You also have quite an imagination.

I don't know why you're being so reactionary. Estrogen does that, I've noticed, so likely your program is working. I'm not trying to troll you, or insult you, upset you, or anything else. I've tried to keep my arguments generic, or based only upon your own words, kept in context as much as I can. I'm trying to avoid pushing your buttons, but you keep making yourself into one big button with a hair trigger.

So...

All I've ever said is that I'm female but that I don't "pass". In other words, I'm ugly right now, I know I'm ugly, and no one in their right mind can possibly NOT think me ugly.

I'm hairier than most men. And no one's finding that at all attractive.

... I won't reply to the rest of your post. I could; you know that.

But you're obviously your own worst enemy.

I only wanted to share my experience with you, in hopes that it would help. Perhaps you might see another way. If you don't, fine. Some people do find my story helpful. More than one potential SRS candidate has changed their mind. I'm not out to convert anyone, but to save one person with a decent mind from what could be a regretted decision or a wasted life. If that's not you, fine.

I don't know you. I've never met you, and likely never will. You're one of billions of humans on this planet who, when it comes down to it, I really don't give a fuck about.

The reality is, I have known for longer than you've been alive that it's useless to try and talk sense to people. I really only do it occasionally, anyway. My best lady friend tells me that it's because somewhere deep down I really do care. I told her she's nuts.
