Global Warning

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. It was the best of times; it was the worst of times, the best of all possible worlds and the worse. It was politics as usual on Planet Earth. The President, an articulate speaker of prefabricated speeches, finds that words do not a new world make. The ship of state that is the greatest democracy in the history of world does not alter its course easily. Inertia is a sticky wicket that only a handful of politicians can master. Washington, Lincoln, and, perhaps, Franklin Roose...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Meet me at the crossroads where psychology engages neuroscience and biology. Join me at the sharp edge where cultural anthropology and sociology confronts the higher maths and scientific methodology. There are no pristine university sanctuaries that will survive the growing standards of rigorous scientific research; no learned academic petitions that will survive outside of their ivory sanctuaries without baring themselves to vigorous peer review by neurobiologists, genetic ...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. It is always difficult when discussing humanity — Homo Sapiens as a species — to separate what is biologically driven from what is culturally imposed. There are genetic and hormonal differences between boys and girls. There are deep seated cultural norms that cause parents raise male and female children differently. Research shows that boys and girl gravitate towards different toys. A culturally driven outcome perhaps, but young male and female chimps and other primates ...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Those of us who learned to pass as male, who learned to playact so we could meet however uneasily the expectations of our parents and grandparents, our priests and ministers, our friends and our culture, somehow survived our less than perfect childhoods. I know no secret formula, no elixir smoothing physical and emotional discords at being born with a visible physical anatomy at war with your brain and innate neurobiological identity. The knowledge that the physical misconne...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. I am not one of the most beautiful women in the world, but then who is? Forty years ago, when I was a sweet young thing, the only olive skinned women on the cultural radar were Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch. I was neither. Media Archetype: the ideal woman was blond and blue-eyed with a slight vacant look. Perfect lips were thin, brains were optional, and seldom noticed. My Sicilian flesh was a half shade too brown, my lips too curiously plump to make the cover of a mass m...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Women on women, girls on girls, boys on girls and women. Around and around and around and around. What is the default setting for human female sexuality? Suppose the permanent default position for human female sexuality is bisexual? [N1] You’ll still get your babies. Men will still get theirs one way or another. Life would go on as we know it. But it would explain a lot, including why the male part of the population considers lesbians a challenge rather than a threat and ...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. I remember when mother subscribed to Sports Illustrated [N1]. It was something all the other young “boys” were eager to read. My father was rather geeky — a self-taught amateur radio ham and a broadcast radio and television engineer (he had help designed and build the built the television transmitter at which he worked). [N2] His interest in sports other than baseball and boxing was minimal and he spent long hours in the garage working his ham set CQing others like hi...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. The high priestesses of gender theory produce impenetrable academic bulls well ornamented with academic abstruseness meant to distract the reader from the emptiness of their pretty papers. Those enlightened few, trapped high in their ivory spires, pass their dwindling days debating what the opposite of a lion is. When left to their own devices, the best produce attenuated philosophies that owe little to science but much to wish-fulfilling fantasies in which the heroic profe...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. In the world of the gender theory, there is no greater fashion expert than a professional drag queen, as they should be. Their performance quality, and the tips they might receive, depends on the theatrical perfection of their appearance. Suspension of disbelief, with a knowing wink, is key. Running a close second in their vocal expertise to the professional drag queens are the transgendered crossdressing men who, one and all, believe they are the true arbiters of feminine f...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Sharon and I are married. Not in the eyes of the Commonwealth of Virginia, not in the eyes of the Government of the United States, and certainly not in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service or various religious sects. If some god is above us, some divine creator without which none of this would be, I am certain he would bless us. Would a god deny our love just so he or she could angrily exercise some godly reasoned distinction originally intended to encourage the human pa...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Fashion began as soon as humanity realized we were naked and collectively decided we needed to do something about that. Soon afterwards, being nothing if not curious primates, we noticed that some leaves were softer, some furs, more plush, and what we might choose to wear could make us appear more attractive and interesting. We also began to  notice those among us who did not dress as well as the rest of us. We began to talk about what each of us might be wearing, where...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Active participation in the left-liberal wing of the Democratic Party is not a diagnostic criterion for Transsexuality. Men and women born transsexual do not enter this world with a lifetime membership in the marching proletariat. We are little different than the rest of humanity. The raucous demonstrators so often found in the media do not represent us. The camera ready social activists are not our anointed spokesmen. We may never have used the awkward but politically corre...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. If nothing else, in any given year, the world of publicity seeking gender theorists provides us a plethora of self-serving literature discussing the wide, wide, wide, wide world of post-modern transgenderism. What their self-populating works may lack in quality or scientific accuracy is offset by the sheer volume of their emotional outbursts. Great art it ain’t. But as Ted Sturgeon said long ago Ninety percent of everything is crud. [N1] As far as transgenderism is ...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Cell by cell, inside our deep structured consciousness, the human brain readily adapts, the best it can, to the world in which it lives. None of us choose the society, the flesh, or even the sex to which we are born. Most of us, the vast majority, find that our neurobiology developed along a common path that results in an infant with a unified mind and body similar to our parents, our friends, and most all members of the culture in which we exist. Male or female we are crea...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Here, at the legendary Center For Hatefulness, hard science is our weapon of choice. Alas, but we are taken to task for the spitefulness of science in the matter of arbitrary social gendering. The previous sentence is obviously a prime example of hate speech. In that, we are guilty as charged. We go where the science leads us. If there is a conflict between our cherished personal philosophies and the hard conclusions of scientific research, we reject our private preferences...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. The socially conservative right, or, as the progressive wing of the Democratic Party might refer to them, Crypto-Fascist Republi-Nazis, often uses men and women born transsexual as a stalking horse for whatever societal changes are disturbing them lately. We are an easy target. The religiously right purposefully confuses transsexuality with crossdressing, transgender activism, or men in dresses. This conflation suits their religio-political objectives. Not the status quo, ...

#... In Arlington and Flanders Fields, At Gettysburg and Antietam, On the Plain of Jars and Normandy Beach, And in the waters around the Arizona, Americans have died, buried and forgotten By politicians and academics who seek Grander colors in their well thought histories.

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. How do the gay rights organizations and gender activists spend their time and our money after Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is repealed, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is passed with language covering transsexuality, Civil Unions are common place and bestow the same rights and taxed benefits as what we now call marriage, and men and women born transsexual are routinely covered by health insurance and changing a birth certificate and drivers license requires no more t...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. Here in the USA, girls have a fondness for sparkly pink unicorns. I suspect a young girls fondness for sparkling soft stuffed animals is a human universal, but perhaps it is simply a transcultural hog butcher’s social construct unilaterally forced upon the worldwide female population. Myths of princes and knights who sweep chaste young women off their feet are almost universal, embedded, as they are, in our collective human consciousness. The incidentals may differ from cu...

#... Fairfax, VA, USA. In the eyes of many transgender activists, at least those that loudly populate the blogs and oft-times fill the TS-Si comment sections with adolescent cant, women born transsexual are their Arch-Enemy, the Great Satan incarnate, Beelzebub. We have been cast out of the fantastical transgender garden, unblessed by the faltering transgender political machine. That we never were a member of their boys club matters little to their emotional need for physical identity. We have...
