They called her Gary Stewart here on cola, but that was just one of many
male nyms she used (in fact, I think she only used male nyms).
I have only her word and posts to go by that she was a female. She
posted a vid of a woman playing keyboards in a band, and said it was
her. She talked about being hit on by men. She never once referred to
a wife. And she said having a vagina "works for me".
ha! I hope she's doing well.

It gets worse, but you can fight it. You have to.
I'm 63. For the brain I write code (mostly python and C) at least 3-4
days a week, and read academic compsci coursework, literature and
textbooks about 5 days a week.
Physically I keep at it too: yesterday I spent nearly 3.5 hours in my
yard raking and dragging large tarps full of dry and wet, heavy leaves
from the backyard down to the street (10 trips). Nearly exhausted after
the 8th, but I had to get to 10!
2 Aleves, shower, dinner and a protein drink and I felt human again.
Every other day I fast-walk 45 minutes, or walk laps on a hill with weights.
Sitting around and no exercise = early death.
