Baseball Card Fun

I never made a fortune on baseball cards, because I threw away the following five, or used them in the spokes of my bicycle. I don’t remember.

First; I’m an old judge of form, and this is no way to steal home:

Next — Nice form for never getting a hit in a million years:

Next, three cards I tossed because I didn’t recognize the names, and figured the cards wouldn’t be worth anything:

Why Trans Kids Are Now ‘Coming Out’ as Animals
The Spectator | 4 Mar 2023 | Mary Wakefield

It was announced last week that another gender has been added to the list: nominalgender.

Most news sites reported this in the sort of proud way a zoo might announce the birth of an exciting animal, a baby Komodo dragon maybe – as if the gender had somehow hatched and was waiting to be adopted. You are nominalgender ‘if your gender is so much just you that no one else can even experience it’, I read.

Every day the list of possible gender options grows – metastasizes is a better word: non-binary, genderfluid, bigender, demigender, catgender. On Monday it was reported that a drag queen on the Isle of Man had informed Year 7 pupils that there are exactly 73 genders. When one brave child insisted that there were only two, the drag queen allegedly responded ‘You’ve upset me’ and sent the child out.

What the drag queen might have said, if the rude child hadn’t interrupted, is that though it’s an article of trans faith that there are 73 genders, it’s also often said that the fastest-growing gender subset is xenogender. You’re xenogender if you feel more akin to animals or plants or foods than humans. It’s funny, but it’s also frightening.

There’s a girl on TikTok who explains very seriously that her gender is bird – a cardinal specifically, ey/em pronouns. And several people I’ve found identify as cake.

So, hi, hi, Miss “American Pie.”

Drove my Chevy, called her Bevvy, but the bevy was high…
