Not his hands, these frail plump things too narrow of wrist to be a man’s and too broad of palm to be aught else; nor his face, so smooth, so bereft of even the shadow of a beard—shades of the hapless nymph who embraced him so desperately, yet too square of jaw to be a woman’s; nor his arms, so thin;  nor his legs, nor what lies between them, scrotum twisted small to make way for fleshy darkness, phallus no longer the sole seat of arousal. Even Tieresias was never both together—neither man nor woman, neither, both, him.
