I completely agree with you. I said "Crazy talk!" because at first blush, it just sounds like something that could never, ever happen. Once I read (and listened), it made more sense. A woman who had gender reassignment surgery to become a man on the outside, but kept her plumbing. And then had artificial insemination. I have no problems with gender reassignment, either, except now I wonder how that baby is going to be born (isn't that every man's worst nightmare??? ). I guess it will be C-section. But the child will have this strange situation placed at her feet and she doesn't really deserve that.

People of Lesbos take gay group to court over term 'Lesbian'

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j...WsjmQD90CDUUG7

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos and the world's gay women.

Three islanders from Lesbos — home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love between women — have taken a gay rights group to court for using the word lesbian in its name.

One of the plaintiffs said Wednesday that the name of the association, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, "insults the identity" of the people of Lesbos, who are also known as Lesbians.

"My sister can't say she is a Lesbian," said Dimitris Lambrou. "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos," he said.
