I came across this news article today:

Second pregnant man.

So, let me see if I understand this correctly.  Thomas was a woman who changed to a man, had two children to a woman, and is now having a third child to a woman who is now claiming to be a man.

Forgive me for being slightly confused.  I find myself worrying not only about the welfare of the unborn child and his siblings, but about the parents too.

I like to think I’m a fairly open minded person.   I don’t have anything against male changing to female, female changing to male, male with female, male with male, female with female, etc.  I don’t even mind female-turn-male with female and then with female-turn-male, but if I find it confusing at my age, how on Earth are they going to explain it to those poor children, even when they grow older?

I also find it kind of offensive that a ‘man’ can claim to have babies.  If you wanted to have a baby, why did you change to a man in the first place?  And if you really were a man, how the hell can you carry a baby?

In my opinion, either you’re a woman carrying a baby, or a man who can’t.

In other news, the cut in my mouth is healing, the sunburn is fading, I’ve been sleeping better, my resume is looking sharp and I got free credit for harassing my phone company every day.

I still have the feral cough, but it’s starting to get better, and I CAN use it to make a scene when I walk past smokers.  “Oh! *choke* I’m sorry! *cough* Allergies!”  I know, it sounds a little cruel but, honestly, I find smoking to be extremely unattractive in a lot of ways including smell and, well, it just looks ugly.  Besides, I enjoy messing with the public… especially in elevators.

You know, I really don’t know how I started liking Slipknot.  Their music used to disgust me.  I guess it was the same when I discovered System of a Down.  I heard ‘Forest,’ thought it was pretty good and things grew from there.  I’ve liked ‘Duality‘ by Slipknot for a few years, and recently I’ve started to like some of the other songs that I can relate to, like ‘Wait and Bleed‘ and ‘Everything Ends.’  You’d never guess my choice of music or my hobbies by looking at me.

Today I told Gavin I felt strange because I was crocheting and listening to Slipknot, which is funny, because a ‘slipknot’ is a type of knot you use in crochet.  He said I am the strangest girlfriend he’s ever had, and he loves it.  Achievement unlocked! -Frantic-

Also, I think we should all have a moments silence for Spirit, the rover stuck on Mars.
