A biological woman was impregnated by the sperm of a biological male and gave birth.  How is that provocative or unusual?  It happened 134 million times last year alone worldwide.

You're such a buzzkill lolol

The sad part is the Babylon Bee will run a headline like that and be widely condemned for using facts as satire.

Well, you threw down the gauntlet with the double dog (nicely done btw).  I expected a whiney reply about the subjective nature of "political" interpretation, but when he went into hiding, I decided to finish him off with math that even he could understand. 

P.S.  I know many posters have proven him wrong many times over the years, but what's the record?  134 million in a single thread has to be close..............doesn't it?

Don't be obtuse.
The unusual aspect of the story is their identity, not their biology.

You mean identity... the topic that's being addressed in the political sphere? That Identity?

You're telling me not to be obtuse?  That falls somewhere between amusing and hilarious.

To summarize the plot, a woman who wants to be a man (but hasn't surgically committed to the effort) is in a relationship with a guy who can't decide what he wants to be.  Denial of their biology is the story.  I guess that's unusual for most people living outside of California, but doesn't that make the story political?

An unusual thing happening is not political.
An unusual thing becoming more common in one part of one country is also not political.  It's social, and historical, but not political per se.
Political has to do with how we answer questions like:
1) Who is in charge around here? 
1a) Who will be in charge afterwards? 
2) Whose stuff is that? 
3) What is money, and what am I allowed to buy and sell with it? 
4) What is illegal and punishable, and how do we prove they did it and punish them?
5) What are the minimum social provisions (education or hospitals for example) and how do we keep them at the level we want?

If you want to police people's behavior so they comply with the norms of their biological gender, that's politics.  If you want to allow employers to discriminate based on gender conformance, that's politics.  But if you just want to gawk at them or panic about them, that's not politics.

You insist its a partisan issue, but this is an illusion.  What if, when the internet was growing in the 90s, we had one party scared of it and the other party embracing it, but neither party willing to advocate any policy that would slow or stop the adoption of internet technologies? The scared party would be boosting all these fear, uncertainty, and doubt messages about the future of computers everywhere, and the not scared party would be boosting all these messages exagerrating how a golden age was surely coming soon, and after all that sound and fury, the trajectory of growth for the internet would not change.

As long as we hold the line on keeping this kind of stuff out of the elementary school curriculum,  the transgender issueis basically the same thing.

Lol, obfuscation works, I guess.

Glad to see Sammy is doing well, though.

There was a joke on the Chicago rock station (maybe everywhere else, but that is where I heard it). It was “Who was the blonde headed lady that ruined Van Halen?”   They actually interviewed both and asked the same question, that or re aired it.  They both Thais the other one.  It was kinda funny.

That rock station was broadcasted from the John Hancock building.  They’d say “From the top of the [BLEEP] from rock 000.5”.  I forgot the frequency.  95.5 maybe?

Wow. You sure that's not a post-mortem pic of Clinton? He would look right at home on the Walking Dead. Or on a morgue slab.

Sammy Hagar, on the other hand, was gifted with some rockin' genes.
