Well, you see, Paradox swaps back and forth, kinda. At least,
that's what people think. She isn't really androgynous so much
as swapping back and forth. He prefers it that way.

That's part of the point behind the character.

Oh, will I have to repost the two entries here?
(being slightly embarrassed)

I think you need to point that out. Because, as written, it comes across
as simply a poor-grammared entry.

No, I moved them into the right folder for auto-munching.

Robert Hayden,

In the description, it does state:

"Paradox is odd because she is likely to appear as a man or woman
at any given meeting."

I'd think that should be clear enough, neh?

If you'd *really* prefer a re-write, it can be done.

Well, enough other people are confused that a rewrite might be in order.
