Consider Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche: one parent of each “gender.”

Not only that, but you could have a male and a female (we'll use those solid standard terms "husband" and "wife") who are both what the benderblenders would ostentatiously call "gender-queer" or "gender-variant" in some way, who still can be solidly wedded, bed, breed and all.

Elizabeth Anscombe and her husband Peter Geach were like that to an extent. She was somewhat Gertrude-Stein looking, no make-up, wore pants, smoked a cigar (this was in the l950's!) and her mentor, the philosopher Wittgenstein, called her "old man".

This did not stop her and husband Peter Geach from having a good marriage, having seven children, being good parents to them, and saying the Rosary together every night. They were just a good Catholic family in which mom was a Cambridge analytical philosopher and rather a dyke.

I guess this is not the first time I've said I love her (Link)

She proves to me that I can love what I don't understand.
