Fairfax, VA, USA. Sometimes I am sure that the whole thing is a plot by Catholic-raised Italian American women to take over the world. Madonna, Gaga, me. Something about our upbringing: too much garlic perhaps.
Too much Catholicism to work through growing up. Long lists of do’s and don’ts. Sins that will send you directly to hell. Hormones and body parts that question the church’s philosophies.

 Maggie Fox Wednesday, 01 June 2011 Machester, UK. If you are woman you will laugh and understand the title; if you are a man — probably not! It also neatly summarizes the problem women born transsexual face.
Human beings are categorized male or female at birth and UK Law only recognizes one or the other. Now whilst I personally feel sex should not be recorded, as it is no longer needed to estimate the number of men a King could raise for an army, that might be a rather long term objective!

 Sharon Gaughan Monday, 24 May 2004 Washington, DC, USA. Words often fail those who stood aside from the actual horrors of combat as they stop to ponder the sacrifices of individual combatants known and unknown.
It doesn’t matter whether you agree with any particular war or not. Every one of us should respect the sacrifice made by our military men and women who die in service for our nation.

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 22 May 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA.That Bobby Dylan is turning 70 this month astonishes me. Depresses me. Reminds me I wrote my first column about him over the summer in 1965 when I was just 17 and Dylan was barely electric.
The teacher who nominally moderated the high school newspaper asked me why he was important. Why was I writing about a scruffy folk singer who dabbled in rock and roll?

 G. Terry Madonna & Michael L. Young Sunday, 15 May 2011 Lancaster, PA, USA. It will always be remembered as the day Americans learned that archfiend, terrorist-in-chief, Osama bin Laden was dead. Millions rejoiced,rightly, at the death of the very embodiment of 21st century evil.
But bad as Osama was, and significant as his death will be, something else equally important may have happened that day. May 1, 2011, may also come to be remembered as the day a once embattled Barack Obama nailed down his second term.

 Rev. Cathryn Platine Thursday, 12 May 2011 Palenville, NY, USA. I am a deeply spiritual person who feels an obligation to change the world by doing my part to awaken Goddess Consciousness in others in a spiritual awakening of humanity as that spreads. [N1]
I am a lifelong Pagan who has studied the occult and Paganism my entire life. That has been combined with an absolute passion for ancient history.

Tony Phillips (Science@NASA) Friday, 29 April 2011 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 b... |

Maggie Fox Thursday, 28 April 2011 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 i... |

 Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 24 April 2011 Weston, CT, USA. On 14 December 1807, a "globe of fire" flashed south across Vermont and Massachusetts, culminating in three loud explosions at 6:30 in the morning over Fairfield County, Connecticut.
In their everyday lives, most people relied on as... |

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 24 April 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. Social conservatives use the term Homosexual Agenda to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. Sort of like the Heterosexual Agenda but with less vaginal pen... |

 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 ... |

 Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 17 April 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. The essence of America and what we can bring to the world lies before us, but you wouldn’t know it from the behavior of Democrats and Republicans. The two great engines of our political will ignore the public interest, burnish the... |

 Lisa Jain Thompson Friday, 15 April 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. When Sharon and I started TS-Si over a decade ago, the transsexual community (men and women born transsexual, medical doctors, therapists, scientists, researchers, and politicians) was divided into numerous dysfunctional activities ... |

Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 10 April 2011 Washington, DC, USA. The typical US election for president and congress is a hard sprint toward the finish line. Everything is under tight control, with campaign appearances scheduled for friendly audiences at a considerable distance from the general... |

 Lisa Jain Thompson Wednesday, 06 April 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. I am not a believer. I see no proof that any god exists. But I owe my classical education to the Roman Catholic Church and a prep school run by the good Christian Brothers.
I harbor no resentment towards the Catholic Church even as... |

Maggie Fox Monday, 04 April 2011 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 ab... |

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 27 March 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. Despite what you may have read from various media sources looking to stir up their readers and increase the number of unique users who read their articles, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell continues with all due diligence by ... |
