The power of the human mind to run, hide, deny, and suppress is not to be underestimated. As such, it is quite possible for a TS to convince him or herself that he or she may be otherwise, and to actually believe his or her own inner self-deception. In the long run, such a "defense mechanism" is doomed to failure. It simply is not sustainable. Some, however, maintain the self-deceit longer than others. Regardless, your statement does not necessarily follow, and is not necessarily accurate . . . .Originally Posted by famousunknown
