the million dollar question (that I was trying to get people thinking about) is:

what is a woman??????????????????

to repeat:

must our future always be determined by our bodies?????

thanks for the resounding 'YES!'

i decline to participate further on this board.

also...

i'm really not just trying to be difficult.

one of my alters (or part of me) has a male gender identity.
a comprimise for me is 'the ideal of androgyny'.
seems that that part can't post to the male board (because chromosomes are lacking and yes, he (i) am very aware that he (we) don't have a penis). but also seems that that part can't post to the female board (because having a gender identity that diverges from chromosomes and phenotype means i don't count as male or as female according to your criteria).

that is kinda hurtful, yeah.
