I think you may have confused syllogism with vicious circle. Undefined
terms, excluded middle, inclusion of that pesky word should . . . and then,
of course, there's the spelling. I bear my breasts everywhere, but I bare
them only at home. They're not detachable.
So here's to public school, where I learned about spelling and superalterns.
Logic choppingly yours,

PS: To unsex would be a better term than androgynize, which is a neologism.
