“LACES OUT, DAN!”
Wouldn’t the absence of menses be a clue?
Well, it is still daylight out.
no matter, it is still a man who has been mutilated to look as female as possible.
insides are still male. he has to take estrogen pills forever. Children are not possible.
This “survivor” is a man. period. He is trying to claim the existence of a homosexual marriage in the state of texas. period.
WOW, that's creepy.
Interesting.
