[Foxboy]

Okay. If Alex APPEARS to be female and is struggling mightily to hold onto his masculinity.... the well-meaning "lay psychologist" ("I read a Doctor Phil book, once!") will make efforts to get Alex to accept being female. These efforts will increase if the "lay psychologist" is aware of how DIFFICULT it is to reverse physical changes due to biomods. ("I read an article in Popular Science! Biomods are permanent!")

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
