This post is inspired by a recent comment on ToMU from a reader who took issue with my portrayal of the onset of Mackenzie's most recent menstrual period.

Amusingly, he or she (the way the poster seems to be speaking on behalf of women might imply female, but it's just as easy for a male to presume to speak for all women) posited the theory that I'm "secretly" not a "real woman", apparently unaware that I outed myself as transgendered seventy chapters ago, and was never really in the closet about it. I've always answered honestly when the subject came up; I simply didn't volunteer the information in a story-related venue before chapter 91 because I didn't want to give Steff's secret away with my own.

Anyway, the poster's guessing that I did the period storyline and blew it so out of proportion to try to compensate for not being a "real woman." Honestly, if anything I would have done the opposite... I could have glossed over the whole issue and few people would have noticed, because it's the sort of thing that's normally glossed over.

So why didn't I gloss?
