Sex Ed, Wednesday, Period 2, Class #3

[sparklyvirgin.livejournal.com]

Once everyone was seated, Edward addressed the class. "I know that some questions you have may be difficult to ask in person. For that reason, we now have a question box." He gestured at a wooden suggestion box sitting on a side table. "If you have a question, drop it in there and I will address it during the next class. And no, you do not have to sign your name. Also, Chuck, I'd like to talk to you after class."

"Today we are discussing Gender, Identity and Sexuality," Edward said. "We will be spending the majority of this semester learning about healthy behavior, but it is important we discuss abnormalities so you can recognize them when you see them." He discussed sex chromosomal abnormalities and then launched into a lecture about homosexuality, including what causes it and ways it can be cured. He also explained how dangerous homosexuality can be, and how friends and loved ones must be encouraged to choose heterosexuality for their own safety.

"For today's discussion, let's talk about choice. Write down at least three things that you choose to be and at least three things that you are and cannot be changed. Then share these with your group. Do you agree with everyone's list?"

"For example, Kevin has blond hair. Would you say that Kevin is blond or that he chooses to be blond?"

"Excuse me, sir," Jenny said politely, but she had a look in her eye that had been known to make heads of state whimper. "I just have a few questions."

"How can I help you, Jenny?"

"Well, my first would be about your opinion of bi- and omnisexuals."

Yes. She did just say omni.

"You see, my first husband was an alien," she said cheerfully. "A male alien, but the terminology is so fuzzy when it comes to marrying outside one's species."

"That's one reason why miscegenation is generally a bad idea," Edward said. "And people who identify as 'bisexual' or using similar terms have the same choices anyone does."

Jenny blinked a few times, registered that yes, he really had just said 'miscegenation,' and said simply, "Wow. Okay. Um. I'm just curious about your claim that research supports your opinions. What research would that be? Is it in peer-reviewed journals? I want to do some more reading, you understand." So she could have a good laugh.

"Sure," Edward said. "Come by my office tomorrow and I'll have a reading list ready for you."

Ew, she had to come by his office? "I'll be sure to do that."
