if someone born a man can still be pretty enough to beat other women in the competition, good luck to them.

I love Mardi Gras. which is unusual in the UK. in the UK, we have the rather uninspiring interpretation of Shrove tuesday. which is PANCAKE day. a ploy to use up eggs and milk before lent.

I like Herby, Woody, Resinous, Earthy or very heady floral scents. I don't really like very synthetic or sweet scents as much.

having both is hermaphrodite. transgender is to be born with the wrong reproductive organs. where the mind is one but the body is the other. the term is used both before and after gender reassignment surgery. Gay is if you are a man who is attracted to men or a woman who is attracted to women.

not always. if a transgender person is attracted to people of the same gender they were born, they are considered to be straight. if the transgender person is attracted to people of the opposite gender to the one they were born, they are considered gay. you get both.
