They are two mistresses of creation; one
the divinely supreme creator of all that exists
Nature herself. The other a woman whose
creative imagination brought fantasy to the
excited lives of millions of readers and while
Nature is revered as sublime and immutable
the author whose soaring fantasy swept the
globe with an adoring public whose purchase
gained her wealth is now vilified and damned
by that very public for defending the laws of
Nature's biological verities. Like a belief in
a higher power where all that is required is
faith, those who are born male or female may
in popular opinion switch their genders to one
preferred by whim and choice and sometimes
baleful intent. Nonsense she says: born male
forever male; born female, female you are. The
male of the species does not give birth, the
female may yearn to possess her opposite's
attributes of brawn but never will. Nature grins
and the author grimly pauses and rests her case.
