Many Cambridge conversations fail the Turing-Bechdel test

Many Cambridge conversations fail the Turing-Bechdel test:

1) Two humans
2) Who talk to one another
3) About something other than a computer.

Tilting-spears

A fact not widely known: the crossed axes in my family's arms:

are a reference to the arms of George Shum, who was my father's father's mother's father's father's father: Azure on a saltire argent fimbriated gules two tilting-spears in saltire or, headed proper. Crest — A cock reguardant proper collared or, from the collar a buglehorn pendent gold. (In other words, two gold spears in an X-shaped cross on a silver X-shaped cross with a red border, with a blue background.) Of course we have no right at all to George Shum's arms since they're English arms and we descend from him through a woman-- though in Canada the rules are more egalitarian and permit inheritance of designs through the female line-- but it seemed worthwhile to commemorate him in the design.

Pastoral issue

+Elizabeth Kaeton is a priest in the diocese of New Jersey who often writes about LGBT issues. Another, unidentified priest asked her for help because some of his parishoners are upset that a child in their parish of about five or six years old identifies as a girl despite having been born apparently male (the presenting problem being their reaction, not the child's identification). She posted what she plans to reply to the other priest, but would like comments on both the information she gives and on what would be pastorally appropriate. I thought some of you might be able to help her.
