Thank you for sharing!

Oh my, I HAVE changed... your post made me realize this, Pearls. There was a time when just like you I would have wanted to know right away what would happen. But it isn't so important to me to know right away.... I'm content to let this one take its time and work itself through, and I'm willing to put my curiosity on hold until the story is finally completely told. How interesting!

It's very interesting about Pop, too. My immediate thought was "Intersexed in some fashion" because I seriously don't get the feeling Pop's parents are on a personal crusade to TeachTheWorldAThingOrTwo---but I DO get "protecting our child" vibes really strongly. It will be really interesting to watch this story unfold and see where it goes, see if I'm right or wrong about the parents, see what choices Pop makes in life... oh and that first "expert" the article quoted, who said that children always play with those of their own sex? Somebody PLEASE introduce her to a Butch or three, m'kay?
