You are a strong personality and people aren't usually at their best when they've been put in the defensive. I know you're willing to put this behind you, I just hope DL1 can too. Good night my friend, tomorrow comes all too early.

143	woody Fri 4/11/2008 3:26p	>>You know what annoys me about this? It is not a man.<< It is Not a woman either. Bizarre. At least the child will grow up with two Mommies or Daddy mommy and Uterus-less mommy.

145	Mr X Fri 4/11/2008 9:37p	To those people trying to use the "mutilation" argument... There's no doubt this is far from a perfect science now, but what if it were someday. What if, through gene manipulation and maybe cloning techniques or whatever, they really could change someones' sex to the point where it would be impossible to tell who was transsexual and who was "born that way". Would you then be okay with it? Something tells me you wouldn't. And therefore you're just using that "mutilation" argument to further explain why you don't "approve".
146	gottaluvdavillains Fri 4/11/2008 9:54p	Look I have no problem with changing who you are - if that will make your life happier and more fullfilled! If you are born a man and have always felt like you should be a girl-or born a girl and felt like a boy - then so be it - do what it is to make you happy - really in life you should be happy - My whole point is Oprah did a whole show making a big deal about a man being pregnant - now I only saw the ads and didn't watch the show - I saw so many commercials for this it was crazy (meaning number of commercials). But the reality is this was a woman who started to go through a transexual transformation and yet didn't complete it so that she could still give birth - I still don't know why this person would want to draw so much attention to this situation - it should have remained a private affair - Really I feel this is none of our business and wish he would have not shared it with the world!

Even if the law did not recognize this person as male, manners and courtesy would dictate addressing him in the gender he identifies and is most comfortable with. >>At least the child will grow up with two Mommies or Daddy mommy and Uterus-less mommy.<< I can't argue that there will be will be issues but even traditional families have those. I can only hope that insensitive people don't add to the problem. >> still don't know why this person would want to draw so much attention to this situation - it should have remained a private affair<< I had previously posted the same concern that villains just mentioned. I'm a little puzzled why this couple appears to have sought out publicity. My first thought would be that they would want to keep a low profile and have people respect their privacy. How are you tonight, Mr X?
148	Mr X Fri 4/11/2008 11:09p	Little tired, thanks. :)
149	Mr X Fri 4/11/2008 11:09p	And you?
150	Daddy Shiva Fri 4/11/2008 11:12p	I'm just relaxing, had a rough day doing a little remodeling on a condo I bought for DS26 to finish grad school in. (sorry about the screen name, I'm over in the smed thread, giving smedly a bad time.)
