"People have told me that a lot in life. But, I just don't want to be a woman, and this is the only thing I can do to not look like one. I like not having curves. I like not having to wear a bra. It is...liberating."

I back up, her boldness taking me by surprise.
"I am."

"Hell I've gone without a bra before. I think it's a bit uncomfortable, but each to her own I guess. You really don't want to be a woman?" I ask, in genuine surprise.

"And I understand that you are currently doing some investgative reporting on certain senators, I am 'advising' you to stop immediately and destroy whatever information you have already uncovered."

"No, I really don't want to be a woman. Sometimes it bothers me more than others. I just want to be a human. I want to be free from gender. Free to just be...human and respected as a human irrespective of my gender."

"And if I refuse? I am well-known, my death would raise suspicion, to say the least."

I raise an eyebrow. "That's certainly different. I've never resented being a woman, it's just what I am." I say.

"Deaths can be arranged to look like accidents, gang actions, muggings or even suicide. Believe me Mr. MacGregory, if we want you dead we can kill you and no one will ever find out the truth."

"Assuming I do not use my knowledge of this to my advantage. How can you be so sure that I have taken no measures to protect myself, even now, as we speak?"

"Being a woman seems like something forced on me. My femaleness is like the branch of another tree grafted on me. I try to prune and sculpt myself into the person I want to be. Sometimes with more luck than others. My inside self and outside self have never matched up. So, I wish to destroy the external appearance of my sex as much as I am able."

"Because any measures you can possibly take are irrelevant. I'm just here to give you a warning, you are NOT to persue your current course of action. Do you understand?"

I am really confused now. "I don't get it. No one says you have to act like a woman just because you are one."

"Your warning is duly noted, Miss. And my reply is such: do not underestimate me because I am not a warrior. Words hold a power that you cannot begin to comprehend, and a key word here or there can destroy whatever it is you hope to attain. My continued existence is not required for such a thing to come to pass, either."

"The pen may be mightier than the sword, but when broken both are equally useless. Have a good day and remember, we are watching you." I say as I turn and walk out the door.

"It is something deeper than that. It is deeper than just not wanting to act like a woman. It is the desire to not physcially be a woman. I am repulsed by my sex, by motherhood and by the functionings of a woman's body. I am not a woman. I never have been a woman. Even if I look like one."
