I would never get in the way of a drag queen sprinting. EVER.

HELL, no. I'm not afraid of much, but an angry drag queen gives me pause.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

if we as a society ever get to the point where "legal ability to be an Olympic medalist" is the most pressing issue in sex/gender discrimination, I think we'll be doing pretty well.

Right on.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Seska, We do ave FMLA--Family Medical Leave Act--which requies employers to let employees take 12 weeks UNPAID leave for family or medical reasons. Most employers here ue that or some use Short term disability insurance to give mothers a week or two of pay--AFTER the person exhausts ALL their paid vacation and/or sick leave. It's a crap system that means any family who can't afford any appreciable time without a paycheck to put wee babies in daycare immediately at considerable expense for the parents.

God bless the US of A. @@

Didn't they use that in an episode of House (although I think they changed it to gymnastics)?

They used it on an episode of "Mental", but it was a boy who'd had a botched circumcision that they raised as a girl.

JZ, is there no Montessori alternative that's even remotely affordable? (Presuming, of course, that you'd even be down with the Montessori style.) Here it was $3K for four months, which at least breaks down to something more reasonable.

Not JZ, but in Brooklyn the Montessouri schools charge about the same as everyone else. i.e., A Whole Lot, If Not More.

No, but I'm pretty sure they used that on House, since I've never watched Mental, and I remember the condition.

There was definitely an intersex tween episode of House - the kid was being raised as a boy and forced to play basketball even though s/he wanted to take dance? Or something?

Always Anti-fascist!

Also, the model that had biologic boy-parts. Yeah, Jessica, I liked the ep until they entwined Thirteen's (gasp) bisexuality with it...I think that's when I stopped watching regularly.
