    Someone in the prison forum went on about my lesbian agenda once ;-)

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Nah. I've always thought I've come across online as being very masculine and easy to note as being male. Thats not the case in real life though (I mean in terms of masculinity)

    Does a dna test prove gender?

    What about intersex people?

    well it would be to prove I'm human though it would probably demonstrate how my chromosomes feel too

    Since it was first introduced? A DNA sample taken from saliva can determine sex.

    I'm not sure about intersex people. They may be identified by chromosomes/other indicators, but they may themselves identify as a different sex than what the test states, I don't know.

    Maybe you're non binary/genderqueer?
