There was a lot of push-back at the time that Wolfe would not have a
"moral exemplar" (that was the term) be married to a transsexual. <br>
<br>
Of course, I didn't see a problem with it since I was suggesting Hy
was a male CHEM. It would be no more sexually "deviant" for Silk to
marry a retro-fitted male chem than a female chem. Neither are male
or female in the biological sense (although, I think they are in the
spiritual sense). <br>

As pointed out, Silk becomes suicidal after his second enlightening
on his wedding night. He tells Horn that "there was a taint that
came from neither Hyacinth or me, but from the act itself.<br>
<br>
Of course, if Hy is Fava in dream-travel (plugging my newest
theory), she is therefore 100% REAL WOMAN. So the taint could not
come from Hy in that case. But the Rajan warns Hoof that, although
the promiscuous Jahlee, was a true woman sexual relations between
humans and inhumi in dream travel are nevertheless wrong.<br>
