'Tolerance' Means You Also Have to Foot the Bill

    If I recall me elementary school grammar lessons correctly (and, admittedly it has bee a ling while since I attended elementary school), the pronoun "his" connotes masculine gender. Since the article is about an adult, the pronoun would appear to be referring to a man. Now it has been over 40 years since I took Biology 101 but I'm fairly certain that men rarely have ovaries, become pregnant or have breasts of a size to warrant being removed. Women, on the other hand DO possess said organs and sometimes bear children.

    Therefor, the phrase "his breasts and ovaries" is significantly oxymoronic. Perhaps I am merely old fashioned, but I do not/cannot see how the pronoun "his" could apply to a person possessing breasts and ovaries.
