I am just glad that I don't belong to one of the feminist groups that's been debating this. Honestly, women are women. It doesn't matter if you're cis or trans. Geeeeee whiz. I am an old school feminist (age 65), first class of women at my formerly all-male university and all that. So, folks, if you're hung up on who's got what genitalia, please just get over yourselves. Thank you.

Thanks for this Rebecca. I thought I was losing my mind.

Mnhm, life is a lot simpler when you just call people what they wanna be called.

Raises Hand. Hello, true bisexual here, we do exist. I have a husband, and a girlfriend and life is good.

I had a college algebra professor who did the same. I think I may have been the only one who knew modern day Iran, used to be known as part of the old Persian Empire.

I think the young trans movement is doing that – I was at Toronto Pride and I saw little nuclear families where the dad was F-to-M, or M-to-F lesbians, straight and gay drag queens, and a few straight women who are VERY edgy and call themselves "they" in solidarity, and many people I could not determine one way or another. In the end, I could no longer guess what anyone's "real" gender was... and it was HEAVEN.

Get out there Katherine – or get on here! – you're lovely.

It's a good line, and I like your niceness, but only 660 of those babies come out of a vagina. 325 came out of a stomach by caesarian, and 15 would come out of a test tube (1.5%). Really! :D

My kid would not like that. I guess "my kid" in informal situations is OK.
