How to Run for President (and still have been born in Pennsylvania)
G. Terry Madonna & Michael L. Young
Monday, 02 May 2011
Lancaster, PA, USA. It’s been a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes. How does Pennsylvania do it?

How does a state that has long been a political colossus in national elections and hugely important in presidential politics fail so dismally, election after election, to produce presidential aspirants?

Pasadena, CA, USA. More than 30 years after they left Earth, NASA's twin Voyager probes are now at the edge of the solar system. Not only that, they're still working. And with each passing day they are beaming back a message that, to scientists, is both unsettling and thrilling.

The message is, "Expect the unexpected."

Manchester, UK. For far too long now a small but vociferous lobby group of transgender queer advocates have held sway in the United Kingdom. Readers, including those in the US, may ask so what?

It is essential to know their basic deception: gender is a range — when we know it is not. They continue to cause more problems than they solve by trying to convince both the United Kingdom and American Governments that someone who cross dresses but retains a penis is a woman.

Feminist Dilemma: Separating Women From Trannys
Rev. Cathryn Platine
Saturday, 23 April 2011
Palenville, NY, USA. As the transgender movement pushes itself more and more on the public this question has become more and more important to feminist women: How can you tell trans people from women, where do you set the bar? This has proved out as a larger problem than it first appears.

For the past fifteen or so years, the gender studies branch of theology, administered by the gender therapist priests, has been busy approving sex reassignment surgery for pretty much anyone who comes to them

Manchester, UK. Let me start by saying I do not care a jot about the label you choose for yourself or whether you take advantage of UK law to get a female birth certificate whilst retaining your penis.

That's the law I respect it.

What I do care about, however, is the forced grouping of people who correct their sex to the limits of surgery with those who don't.

Lancaster, PA, USA. Some of the names are familiar — Romney, Huckabee, Palin, Gingrich, Paul, Trump. Others are less familiar — Bachman, Barbour, Pawlenty, Daniels, Santorum.

While still others are largely unknown — Huntsman, Johnson, Cain, Thune, Roemer, Pence.

What they all share in common, however, is their membership in the largest class of GOP presidential aspirants in more than 40 years.

New York, NY, USA. There have been a few highly visible media stories over the past few months about children younger and younger expressing their genders as other than assigned at birth. These children have been paraded and talked about on morning �...

New York, NY, USA. I have a simple request, well maybe not so simple, but here goes. I request that the State of Texas change my certificate of birth to reflect my sex as female. I have recently passed a major milestone in my life. I have now lived l...

Pacific Northwest, USA. So there I was: a married woman living and working in a large northwestern city in the United States, living a particularly unspectacular life. Then and now I support my local community, pay my monthly mortgage and utility b...
Letter to a Prime Minister

Manchester, UK. One of my heroines was a lady called Rachael Webb. We met through my Union where she was a Women’s Equality Representative. [N1] We were very different people: she was a Marxist Atheist; whilst at the time I described myself as a C...

Manchester, England. It seemed reasonable at first. A Gender Recognition Act to give you a new birth certificate, the right to marry someone of the opposite sex and legal protection to stop someone revealing your former status. That’s what the Eur...

Palenville, NY, USA. Feminism 101 for Third Wave Feminists. Recently those who claim some feminist creds among the Transgender/Transvestite spectrums have introduced the concepts of cisgender and cissexual. These words, read in context, appear to be ...

Seattle, WA, USA. It is amazing that Autumn Sandeen and the baristas of Pam's (Spaulding) House Blend are eager to serve up a bitter brew of poison and declaring war against all transsexuals on behalf of a gay mindset dominated "transgender" communit...

Somewhere, Planet Earth. One of the ways dictators and totalitarian regimes gain and maintain control over the community or people they are attempting to govern, is to own or control the language that is used. Autumn Sandeen declined to leave a comm...

New York, NY, USA. I want to state right here at the start of this that passing privilege is a real thing and it is something that one has or one doesn’t. It is not fair nor is it something to be discarded. It can be a tool to help transitioned in...

Manchester, England. It is good to see that even the new Government in England struggles with LGB & T within its Government Equalities Office. The Equalities & Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in the previous Government of England had this definition: ...
