Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ovaries reveal their inner testes:

Inside every ovary lurks a testicle just waiting to develop. So says a study in mice that further overturns traditional views of sexual development — and reveals that females must constantly suppress their masculine side.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No matter what I think about the Duggars in theory and on paper, they always seem so nice when I see them on TV!

that females must constantly suppress their masculine side.

Suppress, hell, I just practice my aim better.

Though I'm not particularly in the market for a penis of my very own.

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

How does this tie into androgen insensitivity? In reading about the S. African runner, they mentioned another athlete who was disqualified and reinstated--genetically she tested male, but when she could prove she was insensitive to androgen, she got back her medals. I doubt she got back her boyfriend, though.

I wonder if some day they will divide sports up by pure size, not gender at all. I mean, the more we know, the more fuzzy situations there seem to be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I doubt she got back her boyfriend, though.

Huh. Externally, she's female, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

They generally are, but I don't think that plays into the Duggar premie issue.

No matter what I think about the Duggars in theory and on paper, they always seem so nice when I see them on TV!

This. I may not agree with their lifestyle choices, but they seem happy with their life and don't seem to be judgey of people who don't choose that kind of life.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Even if she is, I imagine it's not an easy mental hurdle to get over (no pun intended) for any boyfriend, even one with the best of intentions.

Who will Usain Bolt run against?

Externally, she's female, right?

Yep. But I can see a lot of guys shying away from dealing with the whole thing. Knowing your girlfriend is XY despite having lady parts must be something to wrap your head around.
