Don, I rather hope that is a rhetorical question as there is no doubt that those who are most phobic are those who fear that could be "that way" themselves. This man must have been terribly insecure about his "masculinity."

As I do not have the time/patience to go back and read 1800 posts, perhaps this has already been addressed. However. It is quite clear that there is every range of human, and other animals, from very masculine to very feminine. Research has actually shown that those who are androgynous tend to be the most contented.

I do not care to try to convince anyone of anything other than the simple goal of respecting each person where they are as we each move through our life experiences.
