Well, yeah. And also? So what. Now if he was born a guy and was surgically made into a woman and then got pregnant? That'd be news! But hello, people with female reproductive organs have babies every day!
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thanks for all of the birthday wishes everyone. I had a nice, quiet day with TCG and my family.
Sue, I'm so sorry.
Brenda, tons of -ma for Lucy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
it's not the first time that a trans guy has given birth.
Yeah, but it's the first time a trans guy who has been on Oprah has given birth.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You know, it's not that I don't believe that a FtM could be a good parent -- it's that I have all kinds of skeevy reservations about a publicity-seeking FtM.

Huh, the board seems to have double-posted me -- I don't think I hit Submit twice.
I was all "ho-hum rainy Fourth, nothing to do" but then I remembered I have TWO invitations to go watch 1776 and sing along. I'm rich, RICH, I tells ya.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
...yeah, and when he has to have someone else pick up the flowers for him, clearly there are other issues. IJS. Yeah, busy, but...
Seriously. I'm annoyed that he gets all the credit for Allyson's idea AND effort!
I am excited because I woke up a little at 5:30 and remembered to turn off my alarm, so I slept til almost 9! Awesome.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I am jealous of Theo. I am helping (hopefully) finish re-doing the patio at T's house.

Eh. From what I remember when this first hit the media, it seemed like their publicity seeking was coming more from an activist stance after all the shit they went through with the medical community. That makes it kind of a different thing to me than plain old "this is my shot to be in People Magazine!"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hm. I hadn't thought of it like that! Now I want credit!
He's pretty awesome about sending cool care packages on his own, though.
