So I had a thought this morning about the bullshit coming out of Missouri this week -- the current medical consensus is that anyone born intersex should be left that way so that they can decide whether they want to be a boy, girl, or something else rather than the doctor(s) or parent(s) making that decision shortly after birth. Won't the MTBR, or Missouri Trans Bullshit Ruling, in this one instance, actually do a good thing in that now doctors and parents won't be able to do a little slicey-slicey and decide what the kid should be rather than letting the kid be whomever they would have been pre-mutilation?

The Wakeup Duck

When I bicycled across the country many years ago, I stopped in the Clyde Holliday State Wayside (Highway 26, between John Day and Mitchell). At that part of the journey I was riding 100 miles per day and taking the next day off. The first morning I stayed there a mallard hen came through the campsite and stopped at every tent and quacked. Most people fed her something.Four years later, Ms. Disk and I did a car camping trip through central and Eastern Oregon after we were married. We stayed in the same campground, but not in the biker/hiker area. The next morning, this mallard hen could be heard, working her way through the campground, quacking for food. I'm not certain if it was the same duck, but it was definitely related.
