So I have this class. Renaissance representations of same-sex desire.

Tomorrow, I have to go up in front of my class and talk to them about sex changes. As you might expect for a class such as this one, everyone there is much, much cooler than me. I quake. Anyway, sex changes. Many people in Renaissance Europe believed that women could spontaneously sex-change to men (these were probably actually cases of intersex people where that only became clear at puberty), but of course it couldn't happen the other way around, because a less perfect form can turn into a more perfect form, but a more perfect form can't become less perfect.

This class might even beat Old English in terms of the absolutely useless but fascinating information I'm acquiring.

wow....Useless, yet very interesting. The stuff that is most useless is always most inspiring;-)
