Yes, I admit to being a tad hyperbolic, at the start. But because the more I read this thread, the more incensed I became at the uneducated, patently ridiculous crap fest, in some poster's replies and especially the ones made by the person I replied to.

Yes, admittedly, most if not ALL ( except for the bit about the early 18th century Brit governor&mayor of N.Y. and N.J., which is not all that well known )of my factoids, are, or rather, should be, extremely well known by all high schoolers.

The newest Muchausen by proxy syndrome, of parents, especially by mothers, who now reach for fame, acceptance, and "coolness", by claiming that their extremely young child is NOT the sex that their genitalia would easily prove they are, is not only shocking, utterly disgusting, but sick and extreme child abuse.

This is a brand new phenomenon, with absolutely NO basis is reality! I don't know how it began, but it is now repulsively extant in America and the UK. It may be in other nations as well, but if it is, I haven't read about it.
