UCSD pays for trans-species project.
SingingMum: So what you're saying is that all art and culture should cease to exist as long as people are starving? Uhh... okay. Have you sworn off all "frivolous" things like TV and music for the whole course of your life, just because there were some people starving in Africa? Do you seriously think human culture ever HAS shut down in difficult times? Sorry, sister, this stuff matters even when the middle class is scared it's gonna lose its cushy lifestyle, and it's pretty self-centered to assume people will stop thinking about lofty things because YOUR part of the world is a little less obscenely rich.— March 26, 2009 7:49 a.m.

Wmwilson: Okay, but in that case, can we actually have a discussion about the complexity of gender instead of you just calling your opinions of it as correct by definition with one snarky comment? It ain't political correctness, genius, it's neurobiology. If you really want to go toe-to-toe on the science and sociology of gender -- and why it's just as arbitrary to use gender pronouns AT ALL -- the queer world has a lot of smart people in it and we can take all comers.— March 26, 2009 7:45 a.m.

"Micha Cárdenas asked that feminine pronouns be used in this story. With respect, the author declined." That's not actually respect, then, sorry. I mostly feel bad for Ms. Ernie Grimm, because the Internet is forever: in ten or twenty years, her refusal to allow someone their right to self-definition is going to look about as sensitive as any other slur.— March 25, 2009 7:03 p.m.
