But, did they study all variations?

The liberals have told us that it is “hetero-normative” to think that there are only two sexes, male and female. WE are also supposed to consider gay male, gay female, bisexual, and trans-sexual. And within trans-sexual, we are supposed to break it down further, into those groups which have had their sex change operations, and which ones haven’t yet had surgery.

So I wonder if any activists will condemn this study for politically incorrect conclusions, and politically incorrect premises such as assuming there to be only two sexes.

I was at the gym the other day working out with my buddy. My buddy Joey. And he goes “hey, man, I’m getting a divorce.” I said “Wow, that sucks. Can you spot me?”

That was our whole conversation!

So then I go home to my wife, and I say “Hey, Joey is getting a divorce.”

She goes “Oh, my God! What happened?”

“I dunno.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? Is she cheating on him, is he cheating on her?” “

Again, I’m not holding anything back here, I don’t know!”

She goes “Bill, someone tells you they’re getting a divorce and you don’t ask any questions?”

And I go “Well, that’s because he didn’t ask me a question! He didn’t say ‘hey Bill, what do you think about me getting a divorce?’, he said, ‘I’m getting a divorce’, which said to me, ‘I require no further input on your part.’”

If he had said ‘What do you think about me getting a divorce?’, I’d have said, ‘Well, you’re gonna be dating again, so you should work on your abs’.

So does this mean that Tran-gender-gay-sexuals aren’t really women/men after all?

This is an almost verbatim conversation btwn my husband and me, recently:

He: Joe's wife had the baby.
Me: OMG, really? What was it?
He: A boy.
Me: Aww! What'd they name him?
He: I don't know.
Me: Oh come on. What'd they name him?
He: Ummm... Andrew? Alex? Something with A.
Me: Middle name?
He: I dunno.
Me: How big was he?
He: What do you mean?
Me: The baby. How much did he weigh? What were his measurements?
He: No idea.
Me: How's Christine doing?
He: (shrug)
Me: How long was the labor?
He: (shrug)

I’ve got to admit. My wife and I have had identical conversations. She usually winds up looking at me like she can’t believe she married such a dunce. She just doesn’t get the idea that we men tend to let people share what they want, and leave it at that.

Just a difference between the orientation of the sexes, I suppose.

On the other hand, I’ll sometimes ask her about some specific detail that is critical to our closing an important deal with a client, and this is how it sounds:

Me: Honey, did you get in touch with Mr. Smith about our proposal from last week?

Her: Oh yeah, I heard from him yesterday.

Me: And...?

Her: He said something about getting a couple of other bids.

Me: Hmmm....sounds like he thinks our price is kinda high. Did you pull the string on that?

Her: Why should I? Didn’t you give him your best price?

Me: Uh......honey, he’s in our preferred customer pool. You know I gave him the best price I could. Did you break down the basic numbers for him?

Her: Sales is your job. Why are you making me responsible for this?

Me: (.... sigh ....) Sweetheart, sales is everyone’s business. All you ever have to do is give our clients the honest breakdown of how this all works, and most of them will understand that they’re getting the best deal for the money.

Her: Well, I do my job, and you ought to do yours.

Me: (...head spinning...)
