That was one strange article. Especially strange was the statement that transgender people experienced high rates of self-multilation... exactly the kind of experience they’ll get from the knife of a surgeon.

By the way... if a woman can decide that she feels like she is really a man, and demands that she be addressed with the masculine pronoun, can I decide that I’m really a black guy trapped in the body of a man who’s half Jewish and half Czech-Hungarian? Why not? Can I decide that I’m really an Athabascan? Chinese? Can I decide that I’m really a teenager trapped in the body of a 55-year-old man?

What seriously bizarre times we live in.

That's me!! That's me!!

Well, close.... I turn 60 in two weeks. I still play rock-n-roll in clubs, though not as often as when I was in my 20's.

I don't view myself as any older than maybe...oh... 30 or 35, most of the time. Heck, that's old enough to be a Senator or even President, right?!?

OTOH, would I really be willing to be a teenager again? Only if I retained the lessons I've learned as an adult. Otherwise, no thanks!!

I'm a pterodactyl trapped in a man's body.

I demand the surgery to correct this horrible condition.

In this country, you can pretend to be anything you want to be.
