Source Summary

“Jesus freak, imploit, sexism, transsex, stun gun…” “Transsex was invented by Christine Jorgensen.” Desexegration is something you’ll see more of, now that the Red Chinese are represented in the UN and their families are arriving. It means ” the elimination of separate male and female fashions in favor of the unisex look.”
