I wonder how it works.

I was looking for a page on SRU and came across this:

Not sure if that is legal. I figured I would ask here though.

Apparently only what is on the Birth Certificate matters.

Well it's been nice knowing everyone, but since the Chicago Cubs have just won the World Series, the world should be ending soon.

Yay!

Coming soon to a television near you... (Oct 20)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again

“When I saw you enter...I thought you was…,” the as-yet-unidentified man said.

“A boy?” Rush replied. She was wearing a t-shirt and basketball shorts.

“You know it’s difficult,” the man said with a shrug as he walked away from the bathroom. “You are dressed like a man. Of course, you are dressed like a man, so…”

Same sex couple that adopt keep their rights based upon the state where they adopted.

While in Illinois there is legislation to allow birth certificate changes without surgery, in South Dakota they want to force student TGs to use the bathroom of their biological gender.

I help run a yearly convention. A year and a half ago or so, one of our attendees transitioned MtF. As far as I know, she has had no troubles, other than some wrong name usage (she has been coming to the convention for 10+ years). The wrong name usage dropped from last year to this year. Even my very conservative friends have treated her well, doing their best to use her correct name.

Gender Identity Protection (HB 3552/PA 99-0417): Provides that the written directions a person leaves regarding disposition of that person’s remains may include instructions regarding gender identity including, but not limited to, instructions with respect to appearance, chosen name, and gender pronouns, regardless of whether the person has obtained a court-ordered name change, changed the gender marker on any identification document, or undergone any transition-related medical treatment.

I just got a call from a friend, her husband just went for emergency surgery. It looks grim. I would ask anyone religious out there to say a prayer for him. I'm not religious, but he is very devout and a good man.

Thank you.

It's been done before

Some fanfiction author is going to sue. The 10th anniversary (has it been that long?) Twilight is going to have a genderswapped version of the story.

(I included NSFW based upon what people are likely to say when they see the story. I couldn't find a Caution for horrible things.)

Yay!

I suppose it would be OK if they converted to another religion.

The Girl Scouts of Western Washington returned a $100k donation, because the donor requested that none of the money go to help Transgender Scouts.

Just saw this on Google news.

Speed Bump

Alex Rodriguez (American baseball player that used performance enhancing drugs) writes like a girl.

I wonder if it is a side effect?

Of course a girl can be Han Solo, and her dad - Princess Leia.

I know that everyone gets those odd emails, Increase your 'body part' and Buy cheap 'drug' here type ads. But the other day I got one with a very strange subject: Email Exclusive! Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Woman Within! Now I thought that slavery was illegal, but here it is a sale to buy one woman, get one free!

(For those that don't know Woman Within! is a clothing store.)

I wasn't going to bring this up, but today, August 17, 2014 when I went to Goooooooooogle something, the Google logo was birthday cakes. Google wished me a happy birthday.

Levar Burton has a Kickstarter going for Reading Rainbow.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/readingrainbow/bring-re...

It started May 28, 2014.

There is something I've always wondered about. Some authors seem to refuse to real world references. They write a story set in the US, but the characters shop at stores called Q*Mart, drink Fake Cola, eat at Tennessee Fried Chicken, and so on. Other authors seem to have include a TM or Copyright sign after every trademarked or copyrighted name. I don't see this in mass market fiction. Are those authors afraid of being sued? If I'm Coca Cola I'm suing someone with money, not some unknown writer on the internet.

Can someone that does that, or did that explain why?
