Comapassion is the sharpest of weapons. "It's interesting when you say things like that. My friend says it is probably because people have made you feel bad about how you look. Too bad that you believed them and now are taking out your pain on me. Go ahead be silly. Say what you want. But I am concerned that you might be dealing with a lot of inner pain that you are afraid to share. He also says that you likely were accused of being gay, or thought you might be, when you were around twelve years old and have to work overtime to convince yourself that your are really macho and rough and therefore not really gay. He said to reassure you about that. Turns out that about two thirds of American men experience these unessicary psychic pains due to gender insecurity."

Why is appearance an acceptable target?!
