Why are you on a website that has a link labeled "girls" at the top of the page?

Didn't even see that.  LOL   It was one of the stories listed in my AOL news -- I dunno.
Still - whatever the internet ads might be - I thought the story pretty bizarre myself.    8-[

Seriously. And yesterday I found out Atari still exists, if only for a short time......

I'm betting you've been browsing Reddit, haven't you?  [-X

SabrinaArt@AOL.com - my email address since 1994.  After AOL seriously screwed up by withdrawing monthly fees waaay too many times - they gave me AOL for free.  I've had free AOL since 1998.  *shrug*  Probably free to everyone now.  Have no idea.
I'm a purist in some ways.

Well, to stay on the topic of the title: I doubt we are that many decades away from men gaining ovaries/wombs either through operations, genetic manipulation, or a combination of the two.

Lol! My son had free AOL for the same reason. When he was first deployed I had AOL on my computer and kept getting shit from them, but they couldn't do anything about it. My personal revenge, since I was covering some of his expenses while he was at basic training and schools. Any way you shaft AOL is fine with me. :-D

We used to format them and use them as blank disks. When I got to college and they started using CD's we'd just test various ways of destroying a CD.

That was a fascinating story.

Reminds me of a documentary I watched called The Third Sex about intersexed people. I find human sexuality and reproduction really interesting, mostly because there are so many variations on the theme. :)

http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/thelens ... ethirdsex/ (http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/thelens/2009/thethirdsex/)

QuoteThe sexual identity of a person is usually the first question one asks about a newborn: "Is it a boy or a girl?" To most parents the answer is a simple one. But what about the parents of a child born with both female and male genitals? It's a reality no one dares to speak about, the so-called third sex. Most people are unaware that this situation exists, and institutions are not designed to recognize a sex outside male and female.

The majority of parents of intersexed children still choose surgery to avoid social stigmatism, but many intersexuals are critical of the choices made for them when they were infants. While Dr. Nihoul Fekete thinks parents should determine the sex of their child at birth and that surgery should be performed right away, Vincent Guillot (Paris), the founder of Organization Intersex International, calls the surgery he had as a child a "mutilation". He describes himself as neither male nor female.

The Third Sex explores the plight of several intersexuals and their families in Canada, France and Thailand. Arthur (Paris) and Patrick (Montreal) were both raised as girls, but in adulthood have decided, with the help of surgery, to live as men. Thai boxer Nong Tum is in the process of becoming a woman while continuing to practice her sport. And the mother of an Ontario boy born with an extra chromosome describes the dilemmas she faces as a parent. There is genuine concern that a child would face devastating public humiliation if their unusual secret is revealed.

So the so-called Biblical rule that marriage is between one man and one woman (which isn't to be found anywhere in the Bible) means that perfect God creates defective merchandise.

I dunno.. being born with both a vagina AND penis would be just a little more than frustrating.. It gives an extra kick to 'go fuck yourself', but how?...unless.... the penis is on your wrist or something.. I'm getting sexually frustrated just thinking about it. :-k

Whut :shock:  :shock:  :shock: ?  God makes mistakes? Why would he do that?

[spoil:2f4p8bxy]And careful what you call defective in this oh-so-PC-world.   I mean - I'm with ya - we're old farts.  But there are some younger folk who find fault with every observation or critique.  LOL[/spoil:2f4p8bxy]
