Hello Robert,

>RW>Ask Lee how his sex change operation went. He's as queer as a two
>RW>dollar bill.

RB>As a _three_ dollar bill, Roy. Two-dollar bills actually exist.

Texas cowboys ain't what they used to be, having changed
with the times -

"We've come a long way since the days of the saloon.
Everyone should experience the queer life and rich history
of this `Texas-sized' city." - Jennifer Christer, Executive
Director of the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Travel Association

Roy is just jealous because gays are kicking his butt in rodeo
competitions.  Especially in Dallas -

"Big D has left behind sterotypes of big-haired women and rowdy
cowboys - that is, unless you count sassy drag queens and strapping
gay rodeo champs." - Dallas Gay and Lesbian Travel Association

http://www.dallasglbt.com/

Some folks might get offended at that site, given the kissin'
and a-smoochin' going on between guys and guys, and gals and gals.
But hey.  That's their lifestyle.  What can I say?

It is not just in Dallas where things have changed -

"There's a very large and vibrant gay parenting community in
Dallas and an even larger gay and lesbian community in Texas."
- Jennifer Christer

There are at least six events scheduled over the next year,
including a gay rodeo.  Perhaps Roy can give it another go?

Anyway, there is such a thing as a $3 bill.  Or at least there
was, once upon a time.  I have actually seen such a bill, at the
Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in Tennessee.  It was a very
old $3 bill, kinda yellow, encased in a glass frame.

You do realize there are five sexes of man - male, female,
pseudo-hermaphrodite, true hermaphrodite, and eunuchs.  Each of
those sexes of man describe themselves in various ways, as straights,
gays, bisexuals, lesbians, transgenders, transvestites, and whatever
else there is in between.  Crossdressers are a certain category which
may or may not have anything to do with the individual's sexuality.

I have met two true hermaphrodites and one pseudo hermaphrodite.
One true hermaphrodite, whose name was Eduoard, I met was 14 years
old, and later went on to become the world's first pregnant man.
Unfortunately, s/he was not able to get married to his/her Navy
sweetheart because his/her government refused to allow him/her to
change his/her birth certificate which said he/her was male rather
than female.  Bryant Gumbel had interviewed a very pregnant him/her
on the Today show (the interview took place during the Persian Gulf
War), allowing him/her to air his/her plight.  Not sure if he/she
gave birth to a boy or a girl or something else.

One of the other most interesting people I have ever met has three
children, being the mother of three and the father of one.  Her husband
left her when she had her third child, claiming the child could not
possibly be his.  Which he was, technically, correct.  But it was not
exactly a case of adultery.  You see, she got herself pregnant (by
mistake) being a true hermaphrodite.  Such things can happen to a
true hermaphrodite when jerking off.

Those two people were true hermaphrodites, having both sex organs,
fully developed.  To clarify, a true hermaphrodite has both sex
organs, but only one of each gonad (one testes, one ovary).  While
a true hermaphroditem having both sex organs is capable of being
both a male and a female, a true hermaphrodite usually looks upon
himself or herself as being either a male or a female rather than
both.

A pseudo hermaphrodite is an individual who may have one sex
organ fully developed but the other sex organ only being partially
developed, or neither organ being fully developed.  I know a pseudo
hermaphrodite who looked at herself as being female (she had both
a penis and a vagina, but her inside parts were male), so surgeons
took her penis and other male parts and transplanted those parts
to a woman who wanted to become a guy, with that woman's female
parts being transplanted to her so she could become the woman she
always wanted to be.  A double transplant, so-to-speak.  While true
hermaphrodites are rare, such cases of pseudo hermaphrodites are
not as rare as you might think.

As for me, I am male, always have been, and am only attracted to
females.  I cannot speak for you or others, only for myself.  ;)

RB>P.S. for our foreign readers: the word "queer" has several
RB>meanings, one of them being "counterfeit". Another is
RB>"strange" and still another (no longer in common use) is
RB>"homosexual".

"It's not about being politically correct, it's about being
economically correct." - Phillip Jones, president and CEO of
the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau

According to Jones, gays spend an average of $100 more per
day than straights, and plan four to six trips a year.

Not only that, but gay cowboys beat the pants off their
straight competition.

That's why I'm a piano player rather than a cowboy wannabe.
Beat me, daddy, eight to the bar...
