oh darn... you found one of my weaknesses there. Biology. If it wasn't for chemistry, I wouldn't know any biology at all. Beyond the basic stuff from the farm and a little more accidently from anthropology, I don't know much at all about life.
At all.

Xanith
There was nothing about this in my 500 level Anthropology in Religion course... ok, so I might have been asleep that day, but the knowledge available from the internet is still great.
, also written as "khanith" is a vernacular Arabic term for both "mukhannath" and "khuntha". "Mukhannath" refers to individuals with a gender identity that is discordant with their visible sexual organs. They are characterized as "effeminate", "not clearly male," and as people who was "born as a male" and who nevertheless feel, behave, and (in most cases) dress like a female. "Khuntha" refers to intersexed human beings.
John Money summarizes material presented by U. Wiktan in an article entitled "Man becomes woman: Transsexualism in Oman as a key to gender roles." (Man (N.S.) 12:304-319, 1977.) According to that account, the xanith (pronounced hanith) is the gynecomimetic partner in a homosexual relationship. A gynecomimetic individual may retain his public status as a man, despite his departure in dress and behavior from a socio-normal male role, providing that he also gives proof of a legal marriage to a woman and proof of having consummated that marriage. The clothing of these individuals must be intermediate between that of a male and a female. His social role includes the freedom to associate with women in the entire range of their social interactions, including singing with them at a wedding (instead of playing a musical instrument as would a male), but he can travel about unaccompanied as would a male, live unaccompanied, be hired as a domestic servant, and to be hired by men as a prostitute. There is no element of feminizing the body, either by surgical or pharmacological means.

I apologize, MaKa! It is all my fault. I am not a very good multi-tasker. I was trying to do too many things at once and then I had to walk. Something had to go to make room for the new activity and I guess alphabet was an easy target.

dowel
... I wish people would let me join them some furniture with dowels and tenons and hardwood screws plugged even if they don't show. Instead of all the unnatural pressboard crap with stupid right angles. Stupid is a word that I don't use very often; so when I use it, the full enjoyment of the word is experienced. It is stupid to build furniture with right angles out of pressboard.
There need to be manufacturing regulations that prevent these prefabricated crap makers from using pressboard for something that has more than one right angle. :)
If they design with the material... then mold it into a curved shape or put it behind a durable artificial surface that doesn't pretend to be wood. Let wood be wood. Jeez. The chemicals. The hydrocarbons and wasted effort that goes into making something that is not wood try to be wood is agonizing enough, but to see the material poorly crafted, designed, structurally inisgnificant, and wasteful, makes my ears bleed.

venison
... nothing makes me madder than seeing some jerk take all day to dress a deer
and waste half of it leaving a greasy mess that shows
they don't have any sense.
Just because they can.
It isn't working.
We either have to harvest whitetail efficiently,
or let nature restore the balance.
We can hold deer in a kind of half-domesticated limbo of hopping
fences to pretend to be wild. Or?
Wolves?
Don't be too quick to judge.
It is not an easy question. Not an easy thing in it anywhere.
We need some young Einstien of environments
living in the outback of Australia, or wherever,
to come up with something to help us manage
the animals on this planet so life may continue.
While we take it on the road.

Don't believe that a bunch of wolves roaming suburban neighborhoods
is going to solve these problems. As long as we displace wildlife
willy-nilly from our planet, there will be overwhelming problems
that are totally unpredictable.
