>Maybe it's easier to default to something negative because it's what I'm thinking of anyway.You can default to something negative all you want, but you shouldn't put words in others' mouths.
Are the two mutually exclusive? I tend to speak my mind when I'm talking to my mom as well. Should I be rude to her because of it?
>Not that I can really know what they're thinking all the time, I guess.There's your response. Even if everybody agreed with you and saw you as a woman, you'd still have doubts. You dislike the way you are, so you'd think that they feel the same way in secret. Right now, for example, all you're doing is projecting your insecurities on me.
>What do you mean? I want to know too....I would have been more specific if I didn't dislike talking about the subject. I just wanted to say that I do actually understand how you feel, though what we want and why we can't have it is different.
>I think I could come to agree with you, especially if you were as involved with it as I am with thisThat's not how it works. In order to agree with somebody you have to agree with the arguments they are putting forth. So far the only thing I agreed on is that on rare occasions a man may be born with the mind of a woman.

>The kinds of manners that nobility would learn are probably long goneThat's not what I was talking about, it would be silly to have that expectation. I would like her to think and behave like my mom and her friends, that is all. I am not sure if it is possible, but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day.
