  This brings up an interesting question for me...  Should someone like
me be banned from a woman-only place?  While I have no desire what so ever
to be of the masculine sex, I'd say I display alot of characteristics 
that have been culturally declared as Male.  While I can't say I've ever
left the toilet seat up :), I haven't been able to find my keys for the 
last month or so (UGH!).  I'm strong, confident, and not at all afraid of
men nor do I dislike men.

  I'd say there are alot of TSes that come closer to your idea of 
"femininity" than I do.   So...  What about me??
