For me being female is not about going to wimmin festivals and celebrating menstrual cycles while stuffing my face full of bags of rice in some field, it is about being able to live as I know best, which just happens to be female. The next man who comes at me thumping his chest or woman going on about her mysterious or cursed bleeding are going to get a short sharp answer from me. "F**k off and die". Those people robbed me of my life and I have seen them robbing someone else of theirs in the past three months. To cause someone to live little more than a living death is a crime that is on par with many others.

Just, wow. I feel like that sometimes too. It's interesting the part about how these athletic "sex tests" are always about making a woman out to be a man, never the other way around. I've never heard of anywhere they forced a test on a male athlete to see if he was really a woman.

Why would they? I mean, how would such a situation arise?
