Random Rantings About The Pregnant WOMAN and Proposition 8

Okay...what's the deal? Why is this woman#1 - saying she's a man? #2 - talking about her pregnancy as if it's news worthy? It is just me or is this not such a big deal? LMBO! When I first saw the headlines about a "Pregnant Man", I immediately thought "side show". When I saw the interview on Oprah, (of course this is my opinion) I thought, "That's a woman! That ain't no man!"
Tracy or Thomas or whatever she calls herself is NOT an anomile. If you've seen a woman in menapause, you've probably seen a woman with a beard, mustache and at the very least peach fuzz. If you've seen a woman that had breast cancer in both breast, then you've seen a woman with no boobs (aka double mastectomy). Lord have mercy! My womb is the final thing that differenciates me from drag queens, trans-sexuals and gay men...therefore I am a WOMB-MAN!
I'm pissed! The nerve of her, having her "cake" and eating it too. The media is promoting this as if "she" has the best of both worlds. She can look like a man AND have babies like a woman. I heard someone in the media describe her as a "third sex". (Yes, I saw the NatGeo, Taboo episode about cultures that have a variety of sexes.) THAT is where I draw the line. I mean, why go through the trouble of taking male hormones, and legally changing your name and sex only to bear children later. THAT...is just not right. The hoopla is all about the fact that she has legally changed to a male...ON PAPER PEOPLE, ONLY ON PAPER!!!!!!!
You know what? I can wrap my head around people who just happen to fall in love with someone that's the same sex, I struggle with men who display what they think is a feminine persona. (Often times their behavior is crude, loud and severely exaggerated.) I'm still a little taken aback by individuals who are OBVIOUSLY male, dressing in women's clothing. I mean...for real? I saw an individual a couple of months ago that was obviously male. He looked so awkward, so uncomfortable and extremely self concious. It was just not cute. You can take all the female hormones in the world, your hands, head, feet and the length of your arms and legs don't change.
Regarding Proposition 8...whatever, man! The legal jargin is claiming that allowing same-sex individuals to marry will increase revenue in weddings and gays want the same "dignity and respect" to the lifetime committment that marriage represents. Um...you have got to come better than that. Yes, our Constitution says that all "men" should be treated equally. Do I think the writer's of the constitution were thinking about same-sex marriages or a third sex at the time it was written? Hell no!
Let's just let everybody marry. Brothers and sisters....fathers and daughters...first cousins! Heck...go for it. Let's just see how fast it takes for all the birth defects (physical and mental) from all this intermarriage to kick in. Most same-sex couples don't have children, so how long will it take for our population to decline? Same-sex couples are usually in a very high salary bracket. The gulf between the haves and the have nots gets greater and greater. I use to think I was middle class, but I think I'm sliding down the slope a bit. (Okay, so I'm digressing a bit.)
I can barely afford medical, life, home/auto insurance as it is. I don't want actuaries and statisticians to start pulling metrics and concluding something like, "There's a greater health risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, fibromyalgia, etc. with 2 adult females in the household, so medical benefits should increase because of it." OR, "There's a greater risk of HIV or AIDS with same-sex couples..." Okay, so that latter isn't true but I think you get my point. Please...Pleeeaase...PLEASE do not pull the race card and throw it in the gay deck. Why was everyone in hiding or "in the closet" until 45-50 years ago? Afraid of persecution? Heck...at least you COULD hide. I can't hide my color, my kinky hair or my round butt (well...some have and do with plastic surgery) to blend in with the majority. I can't say, I was born white, chinese or indian just because I feel I have a kindred spirit with a culture or have an affinity for things of a certain culture. I don't know of anywhere in history where a group of individuals were forced into a homosexual lifestyle for hundreds of years.
In some instances homosexuals have walked in the footsteps of African-Americans. We got BET, they get Logo. We have specific vacations and cruises, they have Olivia. Heck, they've gone FURTHER than African-Americans. They have they're own condos, gay bars, gay beaches, gay friendly hotels...and the list goes on and on.
As an African-American woman, 95% of the time I travelled, I was the only African-American woman on the plane, in the hotel, at the conference. I had NO choice! Sometimes, I could tell as I approached a hotel registration desk, the person behind the counter was a little surprised to see me.
Okay...let me stop because I'm really beginning to randomly rant. LMBO! Whew!
