BUT, I will not ever agree, or pretend to agree, that males can be women. That's self evident bull twaddle!<br /><br />Agree, SOME human/Ythrian customs can be adopted by either race without harm.<br /><br />Ad astra! SeanSean M.

Those who've pretended they did, never fitted well into either race, ever again"<br /><br />This reminds me of the whole transgender thing.<br />I am in total agreement with those who rebel against rules of eg: what clothing to wear based on what sex you are.<br />However, I don't see how it can lead to anything good to imagine someone with a penis should be considered a woman, or someone with a vagina should be considered a man. The situations where it is even worth asking "man or woman?" about someone are those where the differences in anatomy & physiology between the sexes matter.<br /><br />Similarly *some* Ythrian customs can be usefully adopted by humans and vice versa, but others just won't work for the other species.Jim Baerghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182949391365921637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-48252166995187025432016-11-05T23:53:52.840+00:002016-11-05T23:53:52.840+00:00Kaor, Paul!

Fortunately, however, it was only a little.<br /><br />And Tabitha Falkayn was like her ancestor Nat Falkayn, appreciating both being human and believing that the things peculiar to Ythrians and humans alike strengthens and complements the colonists of both races.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
