I saw a horrible story yesterday about a "man" who is pregnant. He was born a woman but in her late teens/early twenties decided to be a man, so she took testosterone injections. Later she married a woman who had had a hysterectomy. So now they want a family and the man is having the baby. Later, during dinner, we were having pork chops. We started talking about it being "the other white meat." The kids wanted to know what that meant, so we got into a conversation about people deciding that fat is bad for you, so they bred hogs to be leaner. Then when chicken became so popular, they started breeding chickens to grow huge really fast. Now the hogs have no taste to their meat, and the chickens have more fat. I went off about how people shouldn't play God---I think the pregnant man story was still troubling me. So my weird children's humor kicked in and they said they like playing God. "He's really good at baseball. He hits it all the way to the Harris's house." Gee whiz.
