Does anyone else see how ridiculous things are or is it just me? All the news is about how Hillary Clinton has "made history" by being the first female nominee for president. She has broken the last glass ceiling! Finally, a female president! At last, we can proudly join with several other countries and say "Madame President." Oh how long we have waited for this day: "Think of the suffragists who gathered at Seneca Falls in 1848 and those
who kept fighting until women could cast their votes," Clinton bellowed to her adoring fans last night as the final votes were tallied putting her over the top, thanks to all the people who voted for her just because she is female. But hold on just a minute -- I thought gender doesn't matter anymore. Now everyone is just a person, not a "he" or a "she." People are lining up for transgender surgery to become the sex they are not naturally. Bathrooms are up for grabs: pee wherever you like, depending on how you feel inside. No more little girls playing with dolls or little boys playing with trucks; in case you haven't heard, we are all just humans!
To plagiarize from Wikipedia: "Bigender and androgynous are overlapping categories; bigender individuals may identify as moving between male and female roles (genderfluid) or as being both male and female simultaneously (androgynous), and androgynes may similarly identify as beyond gender or genderless (postgender or agender), between genders (intergender), or moving across genders (genderfluid) or simultaneously exhibiting multiple genders (pangender). Limited forms of androgyny are common (women wearing pants, men wearing earrings) and are not seen as transgender behaviour. Androgyne is also sometimes used as a medical synonym for an intersex person. Genderqueer identities are independent of sexual orientation."
Nevertheless, the voters and the media are going bonkers over the possibility of having our first woman president! Go figure.
