I'm a biology major and I'm taking a course on sex in the context of biology and evolution. The main reason I'm taking this is because I liked my professor and his spin on an evolution class so much last year that I wanted to take something else he taught. Today my professor mentioned, all in one lecture:

  • the spectrum of gender and how it's definitely not discrete
  • lesbians in reference to the possibility of a genetic basis for homosexuality (normally people only pay attention to men)
  • intersexed people
  • asexuality and internet communities

I like him more the more I listen and talk with him. It's nice to be validated (as a transgendered person) for once, and it's nice that these other people, maybe also in my class, are validated when they rarely are outside of a Gender Studies classroom.

That's cool, but Subjectively speaking, my AP Euro teacher is more awesome.

You'll have to provide examples.

Also, does your teacher talk to you about sex for three hours a week with an awesome yet not crude sense of humour and many subtle puns (or in today's case, not so subtle... On homosexuality in rams, the quote read: "He's just not that into ewe.") and jabs at the way society sees sex? One day he opened up lecture talking about the urban myth that Inuits have 200 words for snow (they have 4), and then mentioned that he couldn't come up with a single noun that had more synonyms than "penis."

7 foot tall, mustachioed, Irish ex-marine. He's physically awesome in the traditional sense of the word.

Oh, alright. I'll grant you that. My prof is probably 5'5", very unassuming looking.

He also has political views completely opposite of mine and we have great intelligent discussions. He's also teamed up with a guy much more like yours physically who was a bit of a flower child and is full of stories. One of my favorites is the one about the time he bought his KGB tail a beer.

Although by using two I'm cheating.
