I went up to the Utah State Capitol this afternoon, to attend the hearing on HB-200, the mandatory testing of rape kits. It was very interesting, I was happy that the bill passed unanimously. I'm not sure I was aware, before, that the sexual assault and forcible rape was very high in Utah. 1 in 3 women in Utah will be a victim at some time in their life.
It was also Go Red for Women day today, so I dressed all in red. I had several people tell me I was "The Lady in Red".
I am happy that today I was always addressed as "Ma'am" and referred to with female pronouns. Far better than when I was in a store a couple of days ago and every single person I interacted with called me "sir" or referred to me as "he". I was wearing a nice dress, nylons and high heels... I try not to let it bug me, but it does.
Anyway, I was enjoying singing along with "I Can't See Why" last night while I was walking/running. I posted that song over 4 years ago on 13-Aug-2012 I thought I would post this other song by Baxter I really like. Some fun videos too. I really like the fan video.
