I think they used to do that to Epileptics, which was wrong, and I'm glad the stopped. Epilepsy is very complicated. It can be congenital, or contracted from injury or a virus. Either way, I have never heard of it being genetic. And even if it sometimes is, sterilization would be a gruesome and cruel form of discrimination. That's how I feel, regarding any type of disability. Humanity comes in many forms. All of them are worthy. Challenges are opportunities.

No matter what he looks like. And that type usually is consumed with their ideas first, anyway. So the sex is hot and fast, just the way I like it. I have always been bored with men who need it over and over and over again. Don't they have something else to think about? Please. See...I'm back to normal. It just takes time.
