As I began to speak, however, I was pleasantly surprised that my new friend understood my small talk and greeted it with a smile. We covered all the standard traveling chit chat: where I was from, where her home province was, what I studied, what she did for work. About 15 minutes into this exchange, I noticed a distinctive attribute that I had neglected to see during out shallow conversation: her Adam's apple. She was a he.

Such transgender confusion was the subject of many jokes prior to my departure for Thailand.

Indeed.

And that is why that I did what I did.

Some natal females have something similar. :3 So don't go by that sign alone in guessing secret sex/gender. ;)

That is indeed a pertinent statement.

My daughter and I have a thing or two to say on that topic.  I don't have an Adam's apple, but she does.

(Oh! Uh, not the one in the picture.  My other daughter.)
