last night i was watching a disturbing documentary on bbc america called my secret female body. the story followed the life of a girl that felt “trapped” in her body and decided she wanted to instead be a man. she began taking male hormones, which caused her to grow facial hair, get a deep voice and stop having a period. but she/he had big breasts that she had to tape down every time she went out. the hormones eventually brought her d-cups to b-cups, but that still wasn’t enough so she went to have a double mastectomy.

when she/he went for consultations, they blurred out her boobs, and after the surgery, they didn’t blur them out anymore. so that got me to thinking… when is a boob a boob? usually, on tv they can show all the cleavage, side, upper and under boob they want, as long as there’s no areola or nipple. but what about when a woman gets her breast tissue removed and still has a nipple, is that really no longer a boob? i mean because of the skin and swelling, they still looked like a-cups, and it’s still a female nipple, so how is that not still a regular, ole’ boob? either way it was disgusting, and for all practical intentions now just moobs, but clinically they were still boobs.

even worse, she/he now wants to get a penis installed. they make it out of pieces of your forearm. they didn’t get into too much detail about it since she/he will have to wait a few years for the psychiatric evaluations required to do this type of surgery, but the one point they glossed over that i was dying to know: will it work?

jebus christ this bitch is dumb. i’m guessing most people have seen this clip by now, but in case you haven’t, or even if you have, it’s a good 48 seconds.

can’t say that i care much, other than enjoying all the commotion it causes around the office and on the internets. i really was getting pretty annoyed constantly hearing about this woman, who was famous only for being a slut, gold digger and a drunk. but it seems like this is the last week i’m gonna have to hear about all of it, seeing that just about everyone that was involved with her is now dead (first her rich hubby, then his son, then her son, and now her). i’m guessing the lawyer won’t mind having that paternity test now to prove that someone else is the dad since there isn’t any money for him in it. a fitting end to a long 15 minutes. the autopsy won’t be released for a couple of weeks, but $5 says that it was old man marshall’s ghost that did her in.
