But, Christine old thing, eunuchism is not a solution for those who are homosexual-in the event you are interested in their problems. The word "eunuch" must be used because you're not a woman, you know. A dress and high heels will not provide you with a baby-and remember what this society you love thinks of sterile women. Actually those expensive scalpals only gave you the legal right to transvestitism. Furthermore, homosexuals are not a third sex, personalities in the body of the wrong sex, biological confusions of nature. Most neurotic symptoms they display-and there are plenty-can just as easily have been caused by society refusing to adjust to them as the reverse. Their vast number in both history and present makes it impossible to label them freaks and so unusual as to be called abnormal. Homosexuality is a large fact and more a problem of society than they are to themselves.

Surgery is no solution. The cutting away of ignorance is. Your loss, Christine, is no one's gain. Your surrender is a victory to the stupid and misinformed. There are hundreds of thousands of male homosexuals who would rather die than lose their genders. A vast number have already died for their legal rights, have been stripped of everything, now suffer the status of actual pariahs because they demand the right to be what they are. Remember this refusal to submit the next time you read in the papers of a court ordering the castration of a "pervert". It does happen.

As time goes on, however, it will happen less and less because the homosexual minority is fusing and fighting with increasing strength. The weapons it uses are facts. Execute the whole minority and this weapon will remain as sharp and permanently effective-waiting for others to pick it up and wield. Others who refuse to submit to a barbaric status quo.
