This is an incredible story, and Chelsea is truly an inspiration. Having said that, I really hope this doesn't turn into one of those stories that people use to make the argument that there are no barriers to education or success. "Hey this girl pulled herself up by her bootstraps, so everyone else can too!"

I was in the restroom at my friend's wedding, unaware that the best man speech was happening. When I came back out EVERYONE was in tears. I tried to get information about the content but everyone was all "You just had to be there. Can't explain it."

Agreed. I'm pretty certain this is a safe way for people to try out approaches and jokes that they aren't confident about. If everyone laughs, it's a success. If not, the speaker can be like, "So it's a good thing I decided to do this instead!"

This boggles me. Even in the context of the puritanical, sex-negative education system we've wrought upon our kids, why would a simple anatomical description be offensive? Are there people out there who don't want their kids to go to medical school because they might have to crack open a Biology textbook?
