Jet, don't bother. Some people on here have a brick wall separating themselves from reality. Some posters are just trying to goad others, too bad for them it doesn't work, hey?

I look nothing like Sarah Palin thank goodness.. I'm clearly female in appearance...but you won't see me in school in dresses and skirts and uncomfy shoes either...I'm very comfortably gender neutral.


But your comment remindes me of the begining of a poem about how kids don't care about things that adults do.

Swing Set ~Andrea Gibson

"Are you a boy or a girl?" he asks
staring up at me all three feet of his pudding faced grandure
and I say "Dylan, you've been in this class for three years
and you still don't know if I'm a boy or a girl?"
"uh uh"
and I say "Well in that case I don't think it really much matters. Do you?"
"No...can I have a push on the swing?"


And the end of the poem she's talking about a lady in a store who is sheltering her kid...

and tomorrow I'll start my day with 28 minds
that are a whole lot smarter then you
and if I show up in a pink frilly dress
those kids won't love me any more...or less
"Hey are you a boy or a...oh nevermind...can I have a push on the swing?"
And one day when we grow up
it's all gonna be that simple.

I want my sons to be taught, mentored ,surrounded by and exposed to traditional examples of real men and women! Period. Obviously, that doesnt jive with the whole homosexual,heshe,gay,lesbian,transwhatever world view, but I'm ok with that!

No you are the one with the issues...tha fact that you think there have to be lines!...Gender is not two boxes it's a spectrum. I have female parts I am female...but that in no way implies I should walk around in skirts, shave my legs, be barefoot and pregnant, cook dinner for my man, or any other of the rediculous conservative stereotypes you have about females. I am just as much female in my tennis shoes as someone else is in their high heels. The girl with the shaved head is just as much female as the woman with the long curled done up hair. The girl with the armpit and leg hair is just as much female as the smooth shaven woman with three pounds of make up on.....The same goes for men....the guy who likes to pain his nails is just as much male as the quarterback on the football team...gender is a spectrum...not a multiple choice question...there are no lines to blur...we are who we are...regardless of what is between our legs!

Why does anyone give this idiot the time of day. He became famous for voting against his interests. He's famous for being stupid. Who cares what he says?

Joe The Plumber Slurs Gay People: I Would Never Let "*****s" Near My Children


He's Baaaaaaaaaaack
Another small-minded individual showing how uneducated he really is.

Using this logic, why let straight people near any children of the opposite sex? They might try to do something to them.

LUDACRIS and clearly insinuating that gay people are pedophiles.

This man needs to get a clue.

You know what's interesting. A gay person, if they are a pedophile, is no more statistically likely to molest a child of the same sex than they are to molest a child of the opposite sex. Likewise, a straight pedophile is no more statistically likely to molest a child of the opposite sex than they are to molest a child of the same sex.

Also, a gay person is no more statistically likely to be a pedophile at all than a straight person.

Pedophilia is a completely different attraction from hetero or homo.
