Hey Tep, Daisy, Brenda...Next time you're in SF we're going here.
Geeesh, not gone yet.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can see limiting clothing, like maybe telling the kid that he or she has to stick to fairly gender-neutral clothes, like jeans and plain t-shirts, but limiting what the kid can draw? For lots of kids, drawing is the best way they've got of expressing themselves.
Just tasted the bread. Yum. It's about half whole wheat, half white. And I've got two loaves, which ought to last me close to two weeks. Next time, I think I'll try 100% whole wheat. (This one also has leftover brown rice mixed in, which kind of half dissolved, giving it a bit of texture.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
his head [including eyebrows] had been shaved. He was a monk for a day, along with several male relatives, to help speed his grandmother's soul to heaven.
Oh, yes, on this -- my instinct would be to praise the hell out of how important his role was, and at the same time to offer him the most flowery and outrageous hat in the room. No idea if that's either psychologically or pedagogically right, but it seems to fit the child.

Put the second one in the freezer, Hil - maybe even slice it first. Fresh bread does not last very long, generally.

That child is impossibly cute.
In other depressing gender news, I'm watching a PBS report of doping of the East German women athletes. In a number of cases, the high levels of male hormones they were given permanently reshaped their bodies to look masculine, and they were never told why these strange things were happening to their bodies. Some were tormented for being "transvestites" when wearing dresses. Several of the athletes interviewed now had had a terrible time with their sexual identities, and one of the interviewees had had a sex change. They had severe physical problems from overstressing their bodies, plus when they were able to see their Stazi files, they found that they had injuries that weren't treated because treatment might have revealed the doping. It was so sad.
