I musta missed this one B4, but since it 's been brought to my attention (thanks Ali. ), tell me Mr. Hanky, what exactly is the cost to you? Cuz I see no logical way this can affect your state of being.

Yabbut you're a sick twisted fuck, right? Who are you again? Oh yeah, our newest pillar.

"what exactly is the cost to you?"

If Ibram pretends to be a woman, there is no cost to me.

If I -- knowing Ibram is male -- pretend he's a 'she' then I lie (to myself) and in the lie, I diminish myself, to myself.

That Ibram lies to himself is irrelevant to me: that I lie to myself to make Ibram feel good is a high price I won't pay.
