conversation? I've been around him at old-timers' games, and believe me, he's

When you are a child, you often stare too closely at the wrong thing. I remember the first time I was taken to Yankee Stadium.

I would say that it's very difficult to personally construct your gender. I think a lot of it is socially constructed. If you look at The New York Times' coverage of trans children, some of them were as young as four years old. One said, "I see my daddy in the woodshed, and that's where I'd rather be than in the kitchen." That to me doesn't ring as somebody who is trans, it rings as someone who has grown up with a narrow view.
Let's not get naughty. How about homicidal instead?
