Wow, sometimes teenage girls amaze me.

Usually, they annoy me. I know I kind of AM one right now being in the middle of a second puberty. My spouse tends to think so.

But this time, I'm just peeved. Today I stumbled onto a video on YouTube of a couple of teenage girls sitting in class listening to their teacher try explain the differences between being gay and transgender. As the teacher rambled on, apparently clueless that a video was being recorded, let alone even aware that a majority of the kids weren't even paying attention, the two girls kept studying an entertainment magazine that had images of the then "Pregnant Man" Thomas Beatie.
