Right having now spoken privately to the two protagonists in this I am going to unlock this thread. It will remain unlocked as long as everyone plays nice and remembers the rules. Talk about the topic in reasonable manner and do NOT start hurling bricks at each other please.
Helena - as you well know I have indeed suggested to you that you might find it enlightening to get some screening and genetic testing done, but from my own direct experience I can tell you that it is very difficult to predict the outcome of such testing from external signs as the genes which control Androgen reception are surprisingly complex. Thus single gene faults in the five or six different pieces of genetic code responsible can cause all sorts of low grade anomalies which is why low grade PAIS is notorious difficult to diagnose. However as Vexing has pointed out I am indeed not medically qualified and thus any PRIVATE observations I made were not intended to be taken as in any way definitive, or indeed used as ammunition in a thread like this.
Vexing is therefore correct in the observations that she has made and indeed I am now on record with both of you as agreeing with most of what she said even if I might have phrased it rather more delicately. Seen in the flesh Helena is indeed quite small in stature, and has responded exceptionally well to her HRT but this does not make her any better or worse than any other member, just a bit luckier perhaps, and I think she now realises that perhaps what she posted was not optimally expressed.
Accordingly I would ask you, Vexing, to please try to slightly moderate your robust approach when pointing out someone else's regrettable error.
Please resume your discussion in a cordial manner. I will be watching and any further breaches of TOS will result in a permanent relock and official warnings being handed out!
Thank you for your attention ladies. Please don't let me down here - I am sticking my neck out in taking this course. I'd prefer not to have it chopped off by anyone.
