No. Sex is not determined by karyotype alone.

Yes, I hate my father. No, that is not why I'm trans. I don't see how you can possibly think this idea is original. We had this discussion in my support group, if it interests you: only about a third had daddy issues. That is about par for North American women. Yes, we know it's problematic...

I used to get this. Then I used my 'gifts' to learn how to be likeable. Now I get along just fine! :D My #1 tip to give you newbies a head start to find the faults you do have, even if people might not recognize them as flaws, and instead of downplaying them, play them up. It gives people...

No. I pretty much hate my INFJ father. All the people I'm close to are INs of some sort, though.

I don't have to, but I do want you to understand. For Alexandra's sake, as well as mine, and for the sake of thousands of children like her who need treatment but don't get it because people are so misguidedly horrified at the prospect of something they don't come into contact with regularly and...

Yeah, that's about my appraisal as well. It's pretty much impossible to prove either way because we're talking about structures that barely show up on an MRI as it is, so getting a detailed reading on them in a child is pretty hard to do, and denying someone hormone treatment just so you can...

It's not absurd at all, but I understand your repulsion to the idea given how little people know about the phenomenon in general. It would be less of an issue if there weren't real consequences to making them wait 'til they're 18 before even allowing them to start on androgen blockers. I don't...

That's the only thing you can be bothered to follow up on?

This, in a nutshell. I relate best to people who break the mould.

I picked the intuitive one at the last second. It sounds like astrology to me. v:3v

Ugh, I had to stumble on this topic while I'm out :s There are lots of reasons, but there's always an alternate explanation. In the end: You just know. I've never heard of someone who has been as certain as Alexandra here and changed their mind. Ever. Actually, very few people who consider...

always, ALWAYS GUILTY AHGGHGAHHA\ *hugs*

Initiating is hard because it's like, "well, what if she's doing something else? What if she actually doesn't want to spend time with me? I'll just be irritating her and making her feel obligated by asking..." Other than that it seems spot on :/ Hope you manage to get back in touch somehow.

Then you can list dozens of traits and even if only 2-3 of them are actually correlated with 'bad girl', you'd still be technically correct. :/ Yes, that's what I meant... "Thing" was to indicate that it is related to the concept rather than that the two are literally equivalent. Sorry :s I can...

Okay, I'm going to weigh in on the whole 'bad girl' thing because I think you're oversimplifying. Yeah. >.> This is more of an 'emotional trigger' thing than a 'bad girl' thing. Guys do the same, in their own way. If you're not willing to learn what is/isn't an emotional trigger for your SO...
