You won't get fined for just a month.

I appreciate your thoughtful comment. I’ll only make this comment, in response to the probably hundreds of people here that write the parents are selfish: I’m from the same culture and religion as this couple. You cannot understand - cannot even begin to understand - the importance and expectation placed on having…

You’ll notice that I was very careful not to say that girls shouldn’t be dressed in pink and boys shouldn’t be dressed in blue. My issue is with how powerful gender conditioning is. Ideally, we would dress kids in any and all colors—boys an girls both wearing pink and blue and everything else, too.

I really don’t get it. It’s not like my medical school had a political agenda on the issue and I was trained differently or something, that’s just science. Now that I’ve seen it distorted all over the place, I refuse to distort it too. The gender binary pisses me off in my personal life, I won’t let it into my…

No, there is indeed something very wrong with the way that baby stuff is so aggressively gendered. It’s one of the many ways that we condition children literally form birth to participate in a harmful, limiting, regressive, oppressive gender dichotomy. Gender is just one aspect of who a child is, and putting undue…

I read Obstetric ultrasounds for work (I’m a radiologist) and always list the fetal sex. I have had so many ultrasound techs and OB/gyns weirded out that I don’t say gender. One Ob/gyn corrected me (“you mean fetal gender, right?”) like I was being gauche. I responded with “fetuses don’t have a gender, they have…

I am at home recovering from reduction surgery. I am now a very perky D cup and can’t wait to try bralettes.

Thanks for the info...I fixed it. Next to get a “my tomato plant is smarter than your honor student” bumper sticker.

Or what about, like ... a cake shaped like a tiny, developing brain. “My baby is going to have its own little brain and personality and identity! Isn’t that more interesting and important than what shape its bits are?”

Fetuses do not have genders! I guess ‘developing genitals reveal’ doesn't have the same ring to it.

Did anyone else initially think this was their way of announcing she’d had an abortion and they were really happy not to be parents? Because that’s what I thought it was at first and found that to be way more creative and interesting.

‘Surprise!’ I yelled. ‘Gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original; in fact, it is a kind of imitation that produces the very notion of the original as an effect and consequence of the imitation itself!’ Cuteness overload.”

I knew I’d been ordering too often from our local pizza place when one day the delivery guy noticed that I’d lost weight.

Yeah, we knew he was a conservative Dem, it’s kind of a requirement in Louisiana. But fuck this guy hard. I just fired off a letter to his office and am making a call at lunch. He also let Jindals’ LSEA stand. Double fuck him. I might as well have voted for fucking Diaper Dave.

And his opponent being David Vitter.

Democrat in the south just means, slightly friendlier to minorities and more accepting of raising taxes. We could probably elect a black lesbian who has had an abortion as a Democrat governor, and she would still sound a lot like a Republican.
