Maybe I'm more manipulative than you guys. I don't care that he is being obtuse and bringing up the same point over-and-over again. I just want him to tell his story, and I believe him if he says that it takes time to put it together. Treating him like a pariah isn't going to help anything. His comment seemed address to transsexuals reading this thread, who might not have been familiar with his previous posts. The opinion of transsexuals on this thread is very on-topic.
