Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies, Allyson!!!
ION, the Dr. I saw today thinks I probably have arthritis in my knee (a long-term effect of the injury in '91). But they're going to do an MRI of my knee to be sure. So I'm not sure if arthritis is the best-case scenario or what.
The Dr. did say the surgeons who operated on me in '91 did a good job.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Legally male and pregnant. Either I understand gender identity or I don't--I just can't work out which.
So, he was born a female, underwent some reassignment surgery but kept the female reproductive organs? But is legally a man?
I admit I don't understand what criteria must be met in order for a transgendered person to be *legally* considered their "new" gender. Wouldn't having female reproductive organs pretty much be a criterion that puts one definitively in the "female" camp? In legal terms, that is? (Obviously, a person can self-identify as whatever gender he/she wishes. But in the eyes of the government, what does it take, if not reproductive organs?)
Interesting.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I admit I don't understand what criteria must be met in order for a transgendered person to be *legally* considered their "new" gender.
IIRC, it varies by state, but commonly you have to live as your preferred gender for at least a year before you can be considered legally that gender. My understanding is that "bottom surgery" is actually much less common than most non-trans people assume.

Happy Birthday, Allyson!
Most. Distrubing. Teddy Bear. Ever.
I don't find it disturbing at all... not sure what all the fuss is about.
Dude, it looks less like a bear, more like a morbidly obese Furry caught in the process of suiting up!
Admittedly, not as freaky as JZ's stuffed animal. But then that's true of most David Cronenberg creations as well.

"Bottom surgery" is serious business, it's not cosmetic. (not that cosmetic surgery isn't serious as well). It's a major surgery with long recovery time, so I'm not surprised that most people don't elect to get it.
I do think that being upset that health professionals won't use the male gender is expecting a bit much, though.

Happy birthday, Allyson!!
The word "birthday" reminded me that today is also my niece's birthday--I'll have to call her tonight to give her my happies since I forgot to send her a card. Oh, well, I'll be able to see her in a few weeks.

Happy birthday to Allyson!
My Task of the Afternoon is cataloging homework. I am so dreading this that I am now considering working on my annual review self-assessment instead. Yes, it is that bad.
Also, I bring you Babies In The Snow (mine): [link]

This is the house in my hood that I want right now. [link] It's only a block away, but a house not a co-op and more than double the size of my place. I'd have to figure out how to make the 3rd fl a private access apt. well, after I won the lotto so that I could buy it.
