Ok, I have to say I'm proud of my son. We were watching the Daily Show's segment about the "controversy" about Chaz Bono. My son got angry about what they said and said to me "I hate the fact that after all of the money and expense and effort people spend to change genders they can't just then be "a dude" or "a chick", instead they are put into some gender purgatory where they are now a transgender. That's seriously fucked up. They deserve to just be what they chose to live as end of story." So I asked him, would you date a person who had been born a man but was now surgically a woman? And he said, "Why not? As long as they were someone I liked I don't think it would make a difference. If we decided to have kids we could always adopt or get a surrogate, any biological woman could be sterile too, so no it would not bother me I would accept the person at face value as a woman and I would date them."

I'm proud of his ability to be so open and able to see past the hate and homophobia and other BS some members of society put on people. I just had to share. He is an adult now, since I have not updated in a while. He works with the elderly and was in college but is taking a semester off right now to find himself because he is rethinking his original major.
