Sorry. But did I just hear you say . . .

[Clang McFly]

I've never claimed to be a master debater. I've come to fully accept my role as the fool, the weirdo. I fully admit I'm somewhat  lacking in the smarts and social graces due to being a lazy, daydreaming child with overprotective helicopter parents, bullied by classmates and my older brother. Then I started crossdressing and became even more of a loner. Curious and ashamed of what I was doing...cowardly to admit it even to myself....wish I hadn't waited almost 40 years before telling another soul.

I've never viewed you as a fool, Clang and you're no more weird than many of us.

I'm my own worst critic. Sometimes I forget how far I've come and far I've still to go.
