I will probably be defensive till my dying days as to what I am. There is always someone around each corner ready to call me or people like me delusional...in the same bag of mixed up people that think they're Napoleon. Unlike the "Napoleon Complex" delusion, there are scientific markers that paint probable proofs of validity for people like me. The strongest proof, from my vantage point, comes from a study of hermaphrodites who were turned into females soon after birth because it was easier for a surgeon to create a vagina than male parts. But in teens, statistically more (than the average population) of these CREATED women protest that they are guys. The parents then confess to the "girls" that, yes! There was an operation when they were young. The kids KNEW all along that they were in the wrong bodies.
And I knew.
I thought, from the header, this was going to be about short guys and our "issues"!
No, not defensive, not me, not at all.

Dennis, actually I was referring to someone who has an obssession for oblong pastry consisting of layers or puff paste with a filling of cream, custard or jelly.

Do your research on John Money, Richard Green and the triad BBL--Bailey, Blanchard and Lawrence.
In my very blunt opinion these 5 people have caused more mental, physical and societal damage to transexual people than any hate crime group ever could.
Hey I think I read about that John Money guy in "As Nature Made Him"... koo-koo....

. . . more like sick. Doctors and scientists who twist and ignore facts to try to further their own theories and agendas make me so damn mad. . . So frustrating to know that b.s. like this still goes on..
Jesse, you said: "Doctors and scientists who twist and ignore facts to try to further their own theories and agendas make me so damn mad."
Yeah, a bit like ministers saying God tells them that being gay or transsexual is a sin. Or politicians saying the "intelligence" is irrefutable and we need to go to war. I sometimes wonder how Bush would feel if he was a struggling Iraqui, trying to eek by a living when suddenly an American bomb falls and your family that you adore and hold most precious is....gone.
But I digress. I think Napoleons, as a puff pastry, should be eaten with cream, not jelly.

That would be "Military Intelligence". I personally don't think that such an animal exists. Bit of an oxymoron if you ask me.
