cross-dressers in the library

“Ugh. Do you SEE what that guy is wearing?!”

First of all: FUCK YOU. I see people walking the streets in things much more offensive that you would consider gender appropriate.

Secondly: FUCK YOU. You’re a woman in pants. There are people alive today who remember when that would have been frowned upon.

Thirdly: FUCK YOU. It takes guts to cross barriers, to push boundaries in regard to cultural norms, technology, science…Christ! I find it difficult to make decisions that contradict my standard routines.

Fourth: FUCK YOU. Fuck you for being so judgmental. Fuck you for not even wanting to try to understand why someone would do something that conflicts with your tidy little view of the world. Fuck you for encouraging hate.

Fifth: FUCK ME. Fuck me for not saying this to you. Fuck me for being too mortified to stand up for someone when I had the opportunity.

Rant over.

Perhaps you’ve noticed a toddler’s sagging swim diaper and wondered if it’s really keeping the poop out of your neighborhood pool.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has the answer for you: no.

Last summer, researchers at the federal public health agency collected 161 filter samples from public swimming pools in the Atlanta area. More than half of those samples, 58 percent, were contaminated with E. coli.

That, the CDC reported today, “signifies that swimmers introduced fecal matter into pool water.”
