So last week when I "revived" the blog I fully intended to bring it back full force - as in, write more than once a week. But my inconsistency is astonishing.
Dunkin Donuts seriously underrepresented themselves this morning by giving me my large coffee in a cup with a hole in it. An initially invisible hole, so I didn't notice the gradual soaking of my jacket/bag until I was in class. To salvage as much of the seriously important beverage (I'm literally running on empty this week) I drank fast and burned my tongue. Grr.
Anyway, in my 8am Gender and Sexuality class, a charming combination of feminists, four dudes, and.. well.. me, we were watching a video about Transgendered Post-Ops (female to male) and one of the interviewees, Michael (once Judy) was discussing the male versus the female sex drive.
I'm going somewhere with this, I swear. Just bear with me.
As a woman, Judy/Michael said that all she ever wanted was the feeling of intimacy... the cuddling, if you will. Pretty much had zero sex drive.
Then (s)he started taking testosterone and Michael/Judy basically said "BRING IT ON!" All the time.
I always kind of figured this was a gross exaggeration of the difference between men and women. How much difference can gender really have on a sex drive?
According to Michael/Judy, a lot. And perhaps (s)he is right. I don't know. I've never been a male.
Needless to say, I was a child about the whole situation and started to laugh. Out loud. But because I was simultaneously drinking my disappointing coffee, choking ensued.
Subtle, Annie.
