Flauntin' What My Momma Gave Me

So, I am giving a presentation at my college's undergraduate conference. Basically, I examine the ethics of genetic alteration using arguments from abortion philosophers, as well as some identity-rights guys. It's pretty cool.

Anywaya, I'm going to be part of a poster to showcase the event, which means they have to take my picture. So, today, they did. "They" in this case refers to my school's official photographer, a nice-seeming pregnant lady who is a master at hunting down every minority on campus and taking their picture.

So.

We met by a big ol' statue, one that looks like a woman's torso from one angle, and a penis from another. And I brought tools! I thought they could represent genetic alteration. So I was holding a hammer, in front of this statue, and she took pictures of me looking silly. We traded jokes, it was fun.
