I found this very interesting. You can read about it here, if you haven't heard about it already.

Yeah, I heard about it a while ago.
I thought it was a very good sort of thing to happen.
It ought to knock some people off their high horses, and keep them off.

Like a lot of people elsewhere have said, I seriously hope that little girl doesn't get too much grief growing up just because her father happened to give birth to her instead of her mother. Since her mother couldn't do it, I think that was a pretty good alternative.

I just hope they don't tell the kid. The birds and the bees explanation is confusing enough as it is. Well, I say that but i never found it to be so. I never had it. I just learned everything in school. Which leads me to wonder, from the telebox I was given the impression that at sometime in my life one of my parents would give me the talk and that at some point my dad would teach me to shave and it would be a transgression into manhood or something. That didn't happen, I just worked it out for myself and no one really cared.

There's nothing wrong with anything until people think there's something wrong with it. smile
Doesn't matter the case, even if something is "bad".
Something like this is minuscule compared to other woes in the world, so people ought to just let these people be.
Don't feel for the child, because they'll grow up into a fine, loving and accepting human being.

Hah hah, same. =/
Kinda sad, but even though the talk was offered, I politely refused.

That's why I included the controversy option in the poll. By law, "he" is legally a man.

I never got the talk. Period. I just got a book about female pubery, a book that happened to include something about male and f and a few years worth of films in school regarding puberty, sex, STDs/STIs, HIV/AIDS, and pregnancy. In a sense, it's pretty much the school's job to do the educating nowadays.

And they're doing a s**t job of it.
It should be the parent's responsibility, but since most are too p***y to do anything about it, it does fall to the public schools.

Most, if not all, schools begin teaching the difference between boys and girls in 5th grade.
And there's little need to teach as kids learn from friends after a certain point, usually around... 5th grade.
However, sometimes they learn wrong, and it /is/ the parent's responsibility to go, "Hey, now... Wait a sec."

But!

Safe sex /has/ to be a key player in sex ed discussions or what have you.
Since preaching only abstinence is /obviously/ working wonders at preventing teen pregnancy.
