Since when does cutting off a male dog's penis turn it into a female dog?

Well… apparently the Denver Post thinks it does

Looks like the soldiers in the fight against ignorance need reinforcements.

Oh, my.

/grabs crotch and thinks “owwwwwwwww …”

This story was on our local news, preceded by numerous announcements like “Tonight at 11, a story you won’t want to miss, dog gets sex-change operation.”

I sent the station an email, explaining to them that females aren’t simply dis-membered males, Freud’s theories notwithstanding.

Sigh.

Penectomy is a not-uncommon treatment for male cats with feline urologic syndrome. I’ve never heard it suggested that this makes the cat female.

I can only hope they’ll get a barage of letters from male veterans who’ve been injured by mines.

That’s a pretty discouraging piece of journalism.

OMG an entire newspaper thinks the only difference between a boy and a girl = penis/no penis!

Forget it - let’s just get rid of our education system, it’s costing a fortune and obviously making people dumber.

The cite does not say the animal is now a “female dog”, it says it is now “a girl”.

Which is fine.

So am I wrong in thinking that all kangaroos are just dogs with 1/2 amputated front legs and wearing sporrans?
