Hey Gang!

Hope this all finds you doing well and having a grand time while doing
so.

I haven't posted anything for discussion for awhile, and this has been
eating at my brain for awhile.

I was reading a book called Man Made A Memoir of My Body By Ken Baker.
Mr. Baker suffered all of his teens and most of his adult life with a
pituitary tumor that basically strangled his hormonal manhood.

He had this to say after having surgery to have the tumor removed:

"The ancient Greeks have a saying "The suffered is the learned." Here
is what I have learned: Maleness is about biology, manhood is about
an inner, intangible essence. Maleness is about biology; manhood
transcends piology. A drug or the removal of a tumor can make someone
more male, but it makes him more of a man only like breast implants
make someone more of a woman.
