Never thought of it like that. Gender is what makes you male or female and sex is what people do.

My informant went further than that, saying that gender has no direct relationship to one's physical equipment. He went into greater detail, re hormone production during, um, pre-adulthood, and other arcane stuff, but lost me along the way. It is pretty clear to me that transgenderness is biologically and psychologically more complicated than my tired old brain will grasp. It is what it is, is what.

Mine too VThil. :eyeballs::huggs:
 
SHTF!!!!!! TEOTWAWKI!!!!!!! The End Of The World As Wife Knows it! The A/C went out last evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opening the windows to let the cool evening air is NOT an alternative. Little bugs might get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or BIG FOOT might rip a window screen off and crawl inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting, that thought has crossed my mind when we leave all the windows open for night cool downs, also there's a possibility, potentially, a cougar may take advantage of those open windows, I doubt the insect screens would keep them out.

I've been around wild animals, reptiles, insects and sea creatures all my life and the only thing that has really hurt me is the human animal.
 
Some people make love and never have sex... another of life's dichotomies.

When a female nurse gives a bed bath to a male patient by legal definition she (they) have had sex. (legally the touching or causing of another's genitals to be touched)
Since the nurse gets paid for it that fits the legal definition of monetary exchange for sex. By the letter of the law the nurse could be defined as a prostitute. We all know how ridiculous that is or would be but if the letter of the law was enforced rather than the intent of the law things like that are possible.
Since I didn't want the bath it was absolutely rape...
This is why we are given trials by juries. Even if a judge was legally bound by the letter of the law the jury is not.

:D SheepD. thats another way to look at it. :)
 
Sometimes the law can be twisted in ways it was never meant to be used. This was just one of the more ridiculous examples.
It also shows my twisted personality a little. :cool::rolleyes::devil:
 
By definition, a rape is any penetration, however slight, from a male penis into a female vagina. Many males claim rape while in prison, but in fact it is actually a case of sodomy. Sorry for the graphic lesson, but was drilled on this daily while in the police academy. In the case of a female nurse sponge bathing a male patient, if the female does this for any sexual gratification, then it would be sexual battery.
 
The legal definition of rape varies from state to state. The biggest lie is that rape is a sex crime. Rape is a crime of violence involving the theft of the victims power of self.
It removes self defense, ownership of ones own person, and violent-often lethal- reduction of a person to that of sub human status. The first treatment after a rape is a continuation of decisions made for the victim which further reinforces the victim status. She/he is not asked if they want to have the invasive tests done or asked if they want to talk about it. They are rushed away to a hospital where they are forced to relive the attack while waiting for a doctor to perform the rape kit trial. The victim is then strapped into a position where further penetration orchestrated and body fluids extracted in the name of evidence. This person still has no say in what is done to them. The emotional victimization continues throughout the trial. The victims moral character is assaulted and her actions questioned while her assailant watches.

The ones who recover from rape are those who take back what they lost to the rapist and recover their power to be a human being again.
I want to repeat that rape is not a sex crime, it is a crime of violent theft of ones personal power to exist as a human being.

You can refuse the rape kit/exam. Your not forced to do it.

Well, no person or thing has seriously damaged me, not counting the wear&tear and progressive decrepitude that comes from the passage of time.

Regarding Viking's cougar - if it enters my home it has, I hope, gone a "bridge too far".

I'm mainly talking about what man does to each other in different ways.
Not so much as personal but more on the whole . I do believe that the ' LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not money but the greed it seems to accompany in quest for power.
Greed is a two edged sword, it can be good as well as bad.
 
We have some new neighbors and the misses there is really into making crafts and selling them at local farmer's markets and swap meets. She is in the garage for 12 hours a day, using scroll saws, compound miter saws, table saws, sanders and paint. All the men on the block are envious of this girl!
 
OK, I'm officially done with this heat. Today is day one of a 4 day heat wave. Still 104 here. Was up to 106 today, but tomorrow is suppose to be 110 degrees. Could be worse, I guess. My son is at Lake Havasu and he said it is 124 today, and he blew the A/C fuse. Sucks to be him.
 
Since he is at my house, of course, he called dad to help him out. He failed to tell me the entire story. His wife was using a ten billion KW hair drier, and on the opposite side of the wall he had a portable A/C plugged into the garage. well, the breaker popped, and I told him to hit the reset button on the GFI plug. All is better for him, and by the way, he said the boat is running like a striped ape.

You could always move to Alaska ;)
 
I had a nice encounter tonight. I have magnetic butterflies and plumeria flowers on my car. I was walking to it tonight and a young lady grocery worker was bringing in carts and asked if that was my car. I said it was and she was telling me how much she loved seeing the butterflies. She LOVES butterflies. So, I asked if she had a car, and she did. I offered her a butterfly of her choice and gave her a flower to go with it. She just giggled with happiness. People do comment on the butterflies. I may have to replace the white plumerias with more butterflies. I loved making her evening. Such fun. Those butterflies make people smile.
 
Angie,
You keep your fake butterflies because the real ones are just the breeders of caterpillars and garden pests. ( those are the facts but I just don't feel very strongly one way or another) I do kill caterpillars and other garden pests mercilessly.
 
Vegetarian chickens? How do you keep a chicken from eating insects? ;)
