thanks reine for framing it that way..
very wise and thoughtful
i abdicate nothing Deann... i do exactly as Reine says..
i say "i am a woman"
and if its important or suits my purpose i talk about my past...what is so tough about that ...in the real world i have never had one issue with this...
nor have i had an issue talking about what i am not...
not one problem, not ever..
