It's people liek this that cause the world of multiples to never be seen for what it truly is

(btw, for those of you who don't know me (pretty much everyone) I'm a non-multiple whose SO is a member of a multiple system)

EDIT:

The purpose of me posting this was not to bash one specific person for their belief on how they should treat my SO. This is jsut the first example I've gotten that is in WRITING of the way so many people think that a few pamphlets, a couple documentaries, and maybe a book or two and they're geniuses on the topic. They're the ones who don't see that whether someone is faking the "disorder" or not, it is often a defense mechanism, not something for purely attention. Even if it IS for attention, maybe teh person believes that surrounding themselves with a large number of peopel on the outside will protect them.

It is hardly a secret that the body which I share is female; I had assumed that everyone who reads this community knew it already. If misplaced_ice did not know it, it is because she has not been paying close attention in this debate.

It is common for people in this culture - both male and female - to fixate on penises, since they have no way to tell men from women save by looking between the legs. This is not true in all cultures. Yes, I would prefer to have a male body, but if I did, I would still choose to be celibate, so my possession or lack of a penis is moot.
