I would also like to ask Anna Ebba why she gave so much credence and space to what she perceives as Wallis's gender identity condition.

I remember a friend gave me an Indian novel with some spice and an Indian scarf. I love the idea. I think books are the greatest gifts and all my Xmas gifts will be books. Last year I gave your Coco to my 2 friends and it was the best gift I could have given them, I like matching books with people.enidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506741826683775428noreply@blogger.com
