Transhuman

This one’s from my know-it-all 10-year-old daughter. She always comes home from school telling me about “news” she’s heard from her friends. And of course, the “news” is always a bit inaccurate. Here’s her account of news about South African sprinter, Caster Semanya:

Mom - Did you hear about that runner with man parts? She’s “transparent”… I mean “transhuman”.

Of course, after enjoying her innocence for a few minutes, we corrected her and let her know the correct word is “transsexual”.
