announcement
Sometime around mid-August, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tiedyechameleon and I will be having another child.
Current data are not conclusive, but we're fairly sure that it will either be a boy or a hermaphrodite. :) There's more to say about that, but for right now I'm just making this quick announcement so that I don't put it off any longer.
(If anyone is wondering whether we're planning on stopping here, it may (or may not) be informative to know that the child's nickname is "Encore".)

(and another vote for "Warning:virile!" as your warning label!"

...so who is that particular warning label supposed to be _for_, exactly? :S

FWIW it's my understanding that "hermaphrodite" is both medically/biologically incorrect (since "hermaphrodite" means able to fill both the male and female role in reproduction and this is not true of intersex humans), and is considered an offensive term to the intersex community (similar to terms like faggot, kike, nigger, or chink).
no subject
It was not my intent to be offensive; I should hope that anyone that is reading this would be aware of that. I don't have any personal knowledge of whether hermaphroditism is biologically possible in humans or not, but "hermaphrodite" in that sense is what I meant to (jokingly) say. I don't have a clear understanding of what "intersex" means (although arguably I should).
no subject
I'm not sure how I found out about it the intersex community, maybe through reading about infant circumcision? But apparently intersex is any case where an individual does not fit into the clear biological binary sex options of [female sex characteristics and XX] or [male sex characteristics and XY]. There's a lot of info at the Intersex Society of North America website.
