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

I want to say intersex is right.

Looks like you're right.

Gender row athlete: What is intersexuality?

This condition, known as intersex, is commonly referred to as hermaphroditism. (Some support groups say that the term "hermaphroditism" can be inaccurate and offensive, as it implies that someone is both fully male and fully female, which is a physiologic impossibility.)

According to the Intersex Society of North America, (ISNA) intersex is a "general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male."

Okay, off to watch tennis.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I want to say intersex is right.

I think so.

And wasn't there something recently about Lady Gaga being intersex?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HOW DOES IT KNOW? It's got suggestions for friends, family, old classmates, people currently in my choir...all I did was tell it my name!

My belief is that when someone lets it search their email address book, it remembers that they searched for you, when you finally show up. Or similar.

And wasn't there something recently about Lady Gaga being intersex?

She supposedly said she has a peen and a vag, or something, and there was a video that supposedly showed same.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK. I'd thought intersex and hermaphrodite had different meanings, but it looks like I was wrong.

So overdue. Man, the Turing story makes me choke up.

That page was noisy, and kept being noisy after I left it. Creepy.

I am obviously getting old. All the tennis players look like puppy dogs. Attractive puppy dogs, mind you, but puppies nonetheless.

Well, except Federer. He looks elegant.

Back to the game.

Basically, others have you listed in their Outlook contacts, or Yahoo address book, etc, and have at one time uploaded such information into one of the online sites such as LinkedIn or Facebook. So, when you log in, with your email address, it already has a context for you in terms of your network.

Huh. Looks like I have five gmail accounts. And I still can't find the email account I use for adsense, and so I can't go in and tweak things. This bites.

Loki had fallen asleep with his head tucked onto the cups of the bra I took off (head resting in one, he pulled the other over like a clamshell.) Given his penchant for sleeping in my shoes, maybe he likes the smell??
