#... 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...

#... Palenville, NY, USA. Apparently there actually is a transgender prime directive. It basically is "thou shall never ever ever mis-gender a transgender identified person. Let's examine exactly how this is applied in the real world. By mis-gender, they mean if someone claims to be a woman, you shall never refer to them as male or a man even if their life is one as a male. This is the greatest crime against a transgender you can apparently commit. Even if you know they live as a man, never e...

#... 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 ...

#... Lancaster, PA, USA. Somebody needs to check Pennsylvania’s water supply. Perhaps it’s something those guys are drinking, or maybe smoking, that explains the faux pas outbreak spreading in the Keystone State. Either way, it’s threatening to become a serious epidemic. First, Attorney General Tom Corbett, considered by many experts to be governor-in-waiting, recorded one of the truly boneheaded moments of the political season by trying to subpoena Twitter records in a legal showdown with a...

#... 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...

#... New Delhi, India. Nanotechnology's potential to improve public health will be maximised only with a conducive environment. There are around five billion people in the developing world who could benefit from the use of nanotechnology in key sectors such as health. Nanotechnology is already stimulating radical changes in health that promise to both improve existing medical practices and make them more affordable. In India, for example, researchers have made several advances in nanomedicine, inc...

#... 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...

#... Chico, CA, USA. Earth’s population is approaching seven billion at the same time that resource limits and environmental degradation are becoming more apparent every day. Rich nations have long assured poor nations that they, too, would one day be rich and that their rates of population growth would decline, but it is no longer clear that this will occur for most of today’s poor nations. Resource scarcities, especially oil, are likely to limit future economic growth; the demographic transi...

#... 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...

#... Western Australia, AUS. The rescue of round the world sailor, Abby Sunderland, has been making the headlines recently, attracting the usual debate concerning whether we would or should pay for her rescue or not. Some time ago Yann Elies, competing in the Vendee Globe round-the-world, was also the subject of some uncharitable commentators highlighting the monetary cost, and before that there was Tony Bullimore and others. However, many fail to see that there are also costs should these people...

#... 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...

#... London, UK. Rape is deployed as a weapon of war in countries throughout the world, from Bosnia to Sudan, Peru to Tibet. [R1] Rape includes lack of consent to sex as well as provision of sex to avoid harm and obtain basic necessities. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court recognises that rape and other forms of sexual violence by combatants in the conduct of armed conflict are war crimes and can constitute genocide. [R2] Sexual violence such as forced marriage, female genital mu...

#... Somewhere, Planet Earth. The number of years I have done research and been involved and written about issues surrounding transsexuality have given me a perspective on the whole issue that can only come with years, decades, of involvement and observation. If you want to understand sheep, go be a shepherd for 20 years. If any anthropologist wants to understand a species what do they do? They go spend as much time among them as possible. I’ve been reading about this subject since I was old en...

#... 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 ...
