catbirdgirl No, I don't think she has a mental problem. I think she is transgender, which is an entirely different issue. Basically she feels she is a straight man. I know people like that.

catbirdgirl I read 1700 words a minute, naturally. no one taught me to do that. I read early (at 2.5 yrs old) and always read fast, and I figured its because I never had to do the subvocalize thing, it was always eyes-big-chunk-of-text straight to brain. Always wondered...
