"Honor " murder of post op TS in Iran

This is a sad story. A post op TS murdered by her brothers, in a country that trumpets they have no gays because they are required to have sex changes. Note the length of sentence handed out, and the attitude of the father. However, murder of TG and TS folks in the US and other "western" countries are often due, at their most basic, to some male thinking is reputation has been besmirched by him being attracted or having sex with a TS/TG. Not so different in motive, I think, but increasingly different in the way the crime is seen by law. Doesn't help the victim though....

Photoblog: Do you really support the troops in Afghanistan?

SOS. Same attitude that developed among soldiers in Vietnam, with reason.

By Evan Vucci, Photojournalist, AP

Here in southern Afghanistan, I often ask the soldiers what they think about the things folks are saying about the war back home. The question is usually phrased as a simple, "Does the American public get it?"

Arthurs Round Table Identified?

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7883874/Historians-locate-Ki...

Historians claim to have identified the site of the Round Table of King Arthur, at a site near Chester. A recently uncovered collesium like structure is believed the be the fabled location. It could seat about 1,000 people, nobles and retainers mostly, and would have been an assembly area for preparing for war. Thought it was interesting since there has been some interest in Ancient Briton and associated areas.

Dr Tracy Okeefe article on transgender and other terms

http://www.thescavenger.net/glbsgdq/dont-call-me-transgender...

I found this to be an interesting essay. The comments below it are almost as interesting. The article reveals the sometimes contentious views about the term transgender, in all its ramifications, and how it's use as an umbrella term may trample on self identities.

J-uu-ss--tt what we need! RIGHT

It seems that the nuttso that tried to confess to the JonBenet murder some years ago has been cyber stalking a young woman he knew when he was a substitute teacher and she was 9 years old. He was cleared of having anything to do with JonBenet's death through DNA evidence, but since then he is alleged to be engaged in stalking at least this other girl. In the words of the InfoMercial, "But wait, there's more...." It seems that he has transitioned and is now legally female as well, and is still stalking the girl. She says he did it so he could get closer to women and girls.

NARTH ex-gay group board member takes rent boy to Europe

Christian right leader George Rekers takes vacation with "rent boy"

http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2010-05-06/news/christian-right...

By Penn Bullock and Brandon K. Thorp Thursday, May 6 2010

The pictures on the Rentboy.com profile show a shirtless young man with delicate features, guileless eyes, and sun-kissed, hairless skin. The profile touts his "smooth, sweet, tight ass" and "perfectly built 8 inch cock (uncut)" and explains he is "sensual," "wild," and "up for anything" – as long you ask first. And as long as you pay.

Cuba national health system now includes SRS

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35800405/ns/health-sexual_health

Too bad that the US health system is so bound into the "free" market system. Notice how a person who is TS has the same feelings as a TS and another language in another country. So much for a "lifestyle choice". Nice that the new leader is trying to drag Cuba into a more liberal attitude.

HAVANA - Looking in the mirror used to make Yiliam Gonzalez sick to her stomach.

Semenya tests show she is intersexed

(sounds like she has Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS).)

Caster Semenya is a woman --- and a man.

SYDNEY (AP) - World 800-meter champion Caster Semenya of South Africa has male and female sexual organs, the Sydney Morning Herald said on Friday, posing an ethical and political quandary for athletics' ruling body.

Semenya's reported condition could have grave medical implications.

The Herald said extensive physical examinations of 18-year-old Semenya ordered by the IAAF have shown she is technically a hermaphrodite.
