Two New Questions
Signs of the times, but I still find them surprising and a bit unsettling.
Yesterday, when I gave blood at the Red Cross, they asked me a brand new question. Actually, it was a new version of an old question -
"What gender were you when you were born?"
I stared at the nurse blankly for a few seconds. I didn't know what to say. She finally prompted me, "Male...?" Yes, I said. I was born a male. And as near as I can tell, it's been a lifelong habit.
Also, Isaac had a doctor's appointment yesterday. Since it's been a long time since his last visit and he's at a different stage of life now, he had to answer a ton of questions. He shared one of them with me later that evening at church -
"Are you attracted to boys, girls, or both?"
Political correctness grows with no end in sight.
