An audience

Deme nodded slowly, absorbing the gravity of her words. That is troubling, are the men allowed to shave their face? His voice was firm, but there was a flicker of understanding in his eyes, but he had questions, simply because he was not as privy to the minute details of what went on in re-education, he’d only ever concerned himself with the bigger picture where it was concerned and he was just trying to understand.. I ask simply because it is something I was not aware of, but also feel that if anyone would feel better with a shaved face, they should have that right, male or female, re-education or not. After all, some men preferred to be clean shaven.

He paused, considering her request. As far as where she was put, if I’m understanding correctly. He paused as he wrapped his head around her words, realising now that the wife was probably not born that way, not that it mattered to him, a person was what they were and it was one area he was very unlikely to question, same with sexuality. That is a serious oversight on our part. She is who she is, and that should have been taken into account. I’m afraid many of our laws and practises have not been rewritten and many reflect a more archaic mindset.
