How deep congenital sex-inversion roots may be gathered from the fact that the pleasure-dream of the male Urning has to do with male persons, and of the female with females. ↗

I, too, do not want our children to leave us, Zeba, but it is not our decision to make. We are here only to facilitate their dreams. ↗
