Certified and Stamped

Well, it is OFFICAL: I am certified female.

Haha...

I spent most of the day in Toronto having medical tests, required for my work permit..well, there was alot of waiting BETWEEN the tests. I had no idea how involved it was going to be and I didn't know whether to drop my jaw in horror or laugh when the doctor informed me that he needed to confirm I was female. Laughing seemed like the better option and the whole thing ended up being quite amusing. And the outcome is good - it is now medically confirmed that yes, I'm a female. Of course, it greatly increases my sense of identity. If I ever run into any gender crisis I can simply pull out my stamped and approved medical forms and be assured that there's no doubt about it, I'm a girl!

For those of you who aren't from New Zealand or Australia and don't understand the lowest form of humour, that was sarcasm. ;-)

I wonder if mothers have to have their gender confirmed or if their children are enough?
