Heck … I’m not even sure what a key signature means, other than I think it has something to do with telling me how sharp or flat I am … Curiously, even the quiz suggests there’s nothing sharp about me, but only refers to my flatness ! Whatev. Sampled from Caitlin. π what key signature…
Super Wednesday β¦
Two weeks ago Sister wasn’t able to make it to bowling. And coincidentally, that was the same week they solicitated nominations for Bowling League Officers for next year … Yes, really … there’s a Bowling League President, Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer. And despite the fact that we weren’t planning on being in that particular league…
Adjournment
Consistent with my modus operandi … I have sought and been granted a brief adjournment on my boob job. Yeah, can you see the pattern here people … I always arrive for court 10 minutes later than I tell my clients I’ll meet them (not intentionally, it’s just a personality defect, though in my defense,…
Mom Was Just Wondering

U Callin’ Me Worthless?
So … worthless and bland. It clearly says I’m worthless and is definitely suggesting I’m bland … though on the other hand, I suppose that explains why on a Friday night, instead of being out and about, I’m surfing the ‘net and stealing quizzes like this from Caitlin, Skylark and Claire. π You are water….

Now what I need is the time to examine it in greater detail.
Without having the full paper to review, from the summary it seems questionable the conclusions were justified from the science, unfortunately. Overdrawn conclusions have the effect of tending to discredit research more often than not.
one word, lisa: eugenics.
While I understand Stacy’s concern, after idiots like John Money ruined so many peoples lives (both ways), I have to say that this -may- cause less of that.
Imagine, growing up as female (even with less than perfect genetalia), and never having to have lived with the wrong body. Wouldn’t that be worth it? You -do- know what it’s like to be on the wrong side of that argument.
I’d have wished it for myself, if I had had that affliction.
Hugz!
while this article has a warm-fuzzy-feeling about it, it scares me–
“‘If physicians could predict the gender of newborns with ambiguous genitalia at birth, we would make less mistakes in gender assignment,’ Vilain said.”
While this is even more reality that fundamentalists will have to ignore, there is still the attitude that SOMEONE ELSE has the authority to determine our gender and identity on our behalf, and the prerogative as scientists to poke around our brains making that decision…
