Playing Catch Up

This past week, no scratch that... this past month has been a whirlwind of activity.

I needed a mental break last night and decided to check out my ever expanding DVR (Tivo-ish) recordings and just veg out.

I had Dancing W/Stars, and Idol, and Oprah's oh my! I deleted lots of shows because, truly, were they worth it?? NO!

Sometimes an Oprah show will catch my attention and I will actually watch it...(remember my hair cutting experiment... yeah...)

So one of her episodes I didn't delete was the one about the pregnant dude.

Well, I knew from the title that the dude HAD to have been a woman some time in his/her lifetime, and sure enough, he/she was.

Here's what I can't figure out... the media and Oprah keep calling her a man... he/she may look like one, but he/she has a UTERUS, AND OVARIES AND A FALLOPIAN TUBE, & in my book, he/she's a girl that LOOKS like a man, having a baby.

I would have LOVED it if Bill could have had a couple of kids for us... I would have had 6! BUT... HE DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT PLUMBING, because HE'S a MAN!

I just really wanted to scream at the TV and shake them up and tell them to stop calling that very nice person on the TV that looked like a man, but had indoor plumbing... a MAN!

They made it sound like a REAL man was pregnant, and I was like...yahoooo, maybe I will have a few more kids... "Honey... whatcha doin for the next 9 months?"

I don't mean to sound like a prude. That girl had her breasts removed and took testosterone and grew a little bit of outdoor plumbing, and grew facial hair and wears men's clothing... fine... whatever floats his/her boat. Live and let live and all that stuff.

But to say "A man is pregant" is not the whole truth, and it insults me as a woman.

Oprah should know better than that.

I guess it's all about the "hook" for TV and not truth.

I hope that person's baby is happy and healthy and lives well. I also hope it knows that "Daddy" is really part "Mama".

Now if a guy really got pregant, and was having a baby... THAT would be news, and I would want to be that guys AGENT! Wow!

I am just supremely happy that I am a woman.

I am woman, and I just roared.

Happy Friday All!

Ciao!
