But at this point, ginger, I think you should relish the feeling that 
"no one is like me" (to paraphrase). We live in a world of imitations, 
artificiality, and the bourgeoisie (plus the bourgeoisie wannabes).

Like this countercurrent about the involvement of women at LGM, I think 
you will find that people at LGM will let you and others be what you 
want to be.
