Of course, this involves purchasing the iGlass. If I'm correct, it should come with an iPod docking station. XD

I would not say it's established that she's transsexual. Unless you want to count brain damage as transsexual... which, to me, just seems rude. Brain Damage and Transsexuallity should remain two different labels, and not be conflated, I think.

Her transsexuality may have been caused by that damage, but the point is that, at least presently, she is a transsexual; or at least, believes she is, to some degree, because she identifies as a gender other than her biological one. *shrug* I'm not saying she was born transssexual, I'm saying that her current mindset is best described as transsexual. Calling it "brain damage" doesn't describe what she's currently struggling with.

You know, it occurs to me, if you have to continually remind yourself of what should be a basic part of your identity, perhaps your identity requires some revisiting. :P Natani's now had to remind herself that she's a man more often than she's insisted on it to Keith. (This beside the point that, as a number of my fellow forumgoers will attest, men can indeed have feelings for other men.)

Yeah...there's been a lot of that "I am a man!" lately... :? (Not that I'm not entirely supportive of Natani choosing to be female, but Natani has to choose...and I hope that it won't be seen as a "realizing she was wrong all along" but more of just a shift).

For now, I'm still sticking to the idea that Natani is just confused about feelings for Keith...like if a guy suddenly had feelings for another guy but thought he was straight he'd do a lot of, "I'm a guy...I can't have feelings for him!"

Agreed. It would seriously mess up her characterization to play a choice that way. In many ways, I hope that her masculine side, to a greater or lesser extent, stays with her. And not just because it makes her a bit more aggressive to balance out Keith's tentative side. Rowr!

To me, Natani's comments really make it seem like she's not sure what sorts of things a real man feels, so she assumes anything that's the slightest bit of a "weakness" is a part of being a woman, which she utterly rejects. I tend to assume that a man who is tumbling toward bi would think "I can't have feelings for him. He's a guy!" We (men) are all aware that we can have "feelings" and fall in love. The only shock is that it would be with another man, not that it happens at all. ;)

-- Incidentally --
I'm inclined to agree with you on the real point of your second paragraph as well, though -- This is all a result of the fact that Natani's view of men is that they fall in love with women, and she is a guy, ergo she must fall in love with a woman. Keith is not a woman, therefore she cannot fall in love with him. She's struggling with a worldview that does not permit the emotions she knows she's feeling, so she's trying, very very hard, to deny that these feelings exist.

Least likely.

Maybe he'll go ballistic, kill Flora, then Euchre will kill Trace, then Laura kills Euchre, Natani kills Laura (you know she wants to), and Keith kills Natani, leaving only Keith and Alaric to live happily ever after the end.
