Oh, how I wish you were right, my friend. Also: did the menz think the ladyboys had really long clitorises?

She was a good enough anthropologist to know when her informant was bullshitting -- hilarious.

No, it was me who said they were bullshitting. Not the author of the ethnography, and not my anthro professor. We were to take it at face value.

I wasn't having it:)

I see, the prof accused you of not being credible -- perhaps because you questioned the ethnographer/lady boys (and by extension your professor)?

Oh, I should edit the story because I see I haven’t set the stage right outside my head.

My prof was making fun of me because everyone knew I was a huge fag, so claiming that I had expertise on “pussy” was hilarious.

Got scolded once by a female friend because she wore a low-cut top and caught me unthinkingly looking at her cleavage.

Gay friend rushed to my rescue: "Oh come on, even I was staring at them."

Yeah the whole "look at me" then "no don't look at me" fiasco. That should have been a clue to her not to get the puppies out in future if she didn't like the attention they got.

Yep. Straight woman here and it's hard not to look at something right in your face. Boobs are literally atop the chest!

That conversation would have been worth a day of auditing that class, at a lib arts college.

No, I have one more reason to not like Tuna salad. 🐬

We always had Starkist - which I'm sure the ladyboys would have relabeled "Kist-Starfish"

PS I look back fondly on a time when the odour or otherwise of women's private parts wasn't a matter of public discussion.

So that’s why I almost sent you to buy Vagisil for my yeast infection last week—you were deep in method acting for your role as the world’s least likely expert on tuna-scented ladyboys. And people say a Sarah Lawrence education isn't practical!

Onlookers, actual quote from me to Holly on the phone yesterday, not joking:

“You know you can send me to buy pussy cream, right?”

I'm still cracking up at the instacart shopper. Him: they're out of this product in all varieties. Me: well, it's the only thing I actually need right now, so I'll cancel.

Him: finds it inside two minutes. LMAO.

I just got back from the Philippines and saw a lot of ladyboys walking around and there ain't no way in hell they're fooling anyone.

That’s all it takes to fool a man, eh? What an epiphany. Here I thought that I’d only had sex with young women… but how can I really know? Am I gay?!
