Hi Nancy,
As one of the people who has publicly claimed on this board to have a penis, I laughed at first at your joke about "how do we know if you really do?" But then I thought about it and double-checked to be sure of my claim. Happily, I can report that I was correct all along.
The difference between Sandy and Dr. Goadsby and why we will listen to one over the other is because Goadsby has researched it and has thermograms to back up his claims. Sandy has done research as well, but only in the "get-rich-quick" field and knew nothing about what anyone asked her.
I can see where you're coming from about the difference in treatment for Sandy and Flash. Here again, Sandy was trying to exploit us while I don't believe Flash is. On the other hand, I am a bit skeptical about him since he's only focusing on mushrooms on this board and no other issue. It makes me think that maybe he has an angle in this too. But since I can't figure it out (it's not $ since he's told us to pick our own and never once has asked us to email him for free samples)I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Also, someone mentioned before that Flash has been around here before and was merely keeping us up to date with what he discovers about this theory. So, that tends to make me also think that he's not coming at us with a self-serving angle.
OK. That said, I too seem to remember seeing some posts here that seems to disbelieve women in general when they say that they have CHs. I can't remember which ones or who in particular the posts came from. But yes. I've noticed the same thing from time to time. And that should upset you and keep you ever vigilant about countering such thoughts. We all should. And I'm sorry if you don't feel like you're taken seriously because you're female. I certaqinly do take you seriously.
Please don't question the size of the penis. That just means that I'll have to search my house for a ruler and if you saw how messy my house is now, you'd understand what a large task that is.
Nancy. I hope that you took the humor in this as intended and not in any bad way.
Ted
