cimorenethat most mtf transsexuals' eyebrows are naturally more arched than the male norm (and closer to the feminine) because the eyebrows are so closely connected to the soul.
ah, i love the smell of mispunctuated pseudoscientific spiritual mumbo-jumbo in the afternoon.

"Stemming the Rose" is a euphemism for "struggling against love". In the movie "Brokeback Mountain", Jack and Ennis were hired to protect the sheep from wolves.... ie... to _stem_ the wolf attacks. Instead of stemming the wolf attacks, they stemmed the rose... which meant that they were battling against homosexual desires. Essentially, it was used to equate _being overtaken by same-sex-attraction_ to _being overtaken by a wolf attack_ .... and was used as a device to show that the boss saw them as being attacked by love.
