In reply to Paglia might agree with Duval

It seems as though we're butting up against limits in the English language. The media now periodically reports on men becoming pregnant. If being a woman physiologically means anything at all, it means having the ability or, failing that, the organs including a uterus, ovaries, etc., that permit one, to conceive and ultimately give birth. Individuals who maintain that ability and moreover have the desire to and choose to become pregnant are not physiologically male and would appear, based on their choice, not to be cognitively or emotionally male either.

Meanings certainly do evolve over time but I'm not prepared to accept Humpty Dumpty's formulation that words "mean[] just what I choose [them] to mean—neither more nor less.” So, I would argue that we need new words to describe people who, by virtue of their aggregate physical, emotional, and cognitive state, do not fit into any of the boxes that our current lexicon defines.

It's an honor to have you

Oprah's right that joy is all there is, though I'd quibble with how she instigates it.

I also like the army of pink-sweatered "elves."

Woo hoo. You get to be the WH

Oh great, let's all start scaramooching our comment histories just in case we get drafted for a 10 minute stint as WH comms director.

You can delete it. I kinda expected you to. I'm not one that thinks everything I write, down to the most off hand quip, needs to be saved for posterity.
