Here’s a clue, because you so badly need one. Kelly and I got into bed together naked, like we do nearly every day. We made love. During the course of of which some of her ejaculate, apparently filled with lots of wonderful living woman sperm entered into my vagina. The swimmers therein swam their way up into my cervix and, because I was ovulating, united with my ova and formed Loren. Grand cost: about a buck to clean the sheets afterward. Oh, and about nine dollars for the pregnancy test nearly 6 weeks later. We, me, KellyM, and my husband were shocked and pleasantly surprised by the results. We had thought her to be at best infertile by now. I don’t think my husband has ever been more surprised or happy. He had been trying to get me to try to get pregnant by whatever means for the last 13 years or so. Mind you, he and I do the gymnastics required frequently, but there are no swimmers to do the required work.
This has been explained in other threads just in less detail. How the hell could we be surprised if your little scenario were true? By the way the preferred term is transsexual. Transgendered is a blanket term that includes many things Kelly is not.
Buying a baby indeed! Jump to unwarranted conclusions much?
Desmostylus, if that is indeed what is happening (and, to be honest, I am not at all convinced of it), then I should imagine that several apologies will be forthcoming, or at least some sort of a clarification.
You need medication. You’re so delusional that you actually believe yourself. Women do not produce sperm, unless they are MALE. Kelly is a MAN, baby. A man that prefers to live as a woman, but a man all the same. Perhaps you would have a better grip on reality if someone squicked your head full of “wonderful living woman sperm”.
On a board that is devoted to the fight against ignorance, you are the enemy.
Honestly, by the way you post, and the way you choose to describe things, I think you’re trying to be outrageous. Nobody could be so bull-headed without either being utterly fucked in the head or intentionally trolling for reaction.
Lee, you are so full of hate. They are GIFTS. If they offend you, by all means be polite about it, then explain to your child, if necessary, why you will dispose of the gift. It was not given out of hate or a conspiricy against you, but out of kindness.
zuma, when someone gives you a gift knowing that you do not want it and that the gift would go against your state principles, that is not an act of kindness.
Mr. Cynical, if you like, I’ll be glad to fax you a copy of the letter from my psychologist, which quite clearly contradicts your opinion. You are a reprehensible swine, and your comments (which expose your own ignorance quite clearly) need no further response.
Pre-op MTF transsexuals may. If we had the hundreds of thousands of dollars that reprise thinks we do, that would have been taken care of by now. As it is we are working on getting that taken care of as soon as possible.
Agreed, KellyM, but I do not think that is the case here. I’ll admit I skimmed through the latter parts of lee’s OP, so I may be ignorant here, but I am referring to this quote by Lee:
“The gift ban came when I announced my pregnancy and was told by some I know that they would give my child Disney to spite me. “You’ll see you will have to watch every Disney movie ever made and there is nothing you can do about it.””
I read that as a wiser, older person who had experienced a child’s wants vs. the parents’ idealism, in a kind of good-natured eye-rolling light.
Anyway, I do agree, if anyone in Lee’s circle of friends is truly aware that she feels strongly about this issue, yet persists in violating it, then it is indeed not an act of kindness.
Sometimes I long for the days when the inherent strangeness and complexity of the world was enough to stave off ennui. But weirdness is a societal drug, and the more it uses, the more it needs for the next fix.
How is it, exactly, that Disney’s cartoons are supposed to mess with the minds of young children while being concieved from an outlandish tale of a transexual female sperm love-triangle, is not? Amazing.
Best of luck to your child.
