Maybe. I'm still trying to decide if a lady talking at work about a gender change and the trail period and devices that would entail is the same thing as a guy talking about his anatomy.

Maybe I'd have to have been there. Off hand, I'd think just a casual conversation isn't necessarily inappropriate, like, what if a guy is talking about how he had prostate cancer at work or something? That's not sexual. It's only sexual if it gets personal, like if she were flirting with a woman or another guy about letting them feel it or something when she gets the operation.

Now that would be mega creepy, and harrassment, and very much deserving of a reprimand. I don't see how anything else would be remotely deserving the treatment she got.

As an aside, why do we call it such a stupid name? I'm fine with vagina, that's a good name, but "penis" makes me sound like a damn three year old. And it doesn't even MEAN what it says, in Latin it's a euphemism that means "tail." Mentula is a better word.

I think the only time people get in trouble at work for sex related things, or talking about any things for that matter, is if their coworkers tattle on them. The key is that you can tell anyone pretty much anything if you know they won't squeal on you, so obviously she didn't know who it was safe to tell and who would report it as harassment.

I don't like either, they are both odd words, that roll awkwardly off the tongue.

Mentul... is pretty close to accurate though

Nah, nah, pronounce it like you say Dracula, it's both a fun word and seems fitting.

Just watch the news for 30 seconds, proof positive...
