No longer drawing
back from an in-
commensurable fact:
And the reason, the source,
the manner of generation?
Simple enough in its own
sort-of Freudian way. That
is: If I’m not completely
delusional myself. (And
since I speak, as most do,
from a smattering of tabloid
‘Science’, delusion is not at
all unlikely. So with a fist
full of salt for the wounds:
She’s a boy, in the genetic sense.
She has made no great secret of it
in the past; that may have changed.
But the fact only came to her attention
after her undescended testicles had
been cut out of her abdomen. Here
“came to her attention” is misleading.
The doctors had not told her what
they were after, not until after, later,
when any choice she may have
wished to exercise was
no longer available.
