I recalled her. - (Rogue of Gor, Chapter 22, Sentence #119)

How she had feared to listen to her blood, and her heart. How powerful are the forces of socialization! How rare the individual who has the intelligence and strength to examine inflicted orthodoxies! How few can detect the subtle encompassing walls, let alone break or scale them. The shaping of heads and the bindings of feet, such gross interferences with nature, are common knowledge; but the shapings and bindings of minds, even more hideous, seems seldom detected. I recalled her. She had gone about her business, and studies, and such, on Earth, trying so seriously to conform to political and social pressures, fearing not to, being anxious to dress as required, to think as required, to feel as required, trying fearfully to please others who regarded her softness and femininity as a reproach, or threat, others who despised her. But even those garments, and those attitudes, however desperately presented, or brandished, could not conceal the woman of her. I had not seen her, despite her best efforts, as a neuterized embodiment of a prescribed ideology. - (Rogue of Gor)
