Boston is one of the first cities to fully include gender identity and expression in its city-wide non-discrimination policies. Yippee! Of course, entertainingly, the one guy who dissented did so because “If I put on a dress and heels and lipstick, am I a woman?” Some people just never seem to get it.. ::sigh::

I love how i always learn more about Eve every time i read an article about her… And how i’m a member of the “Vagina Army.” Wait until the V-Party really exists.. oh boy oh boy.

Don’t you just love the culture into which girls are forced to assimilate?

Men come, they go… a new trend: sometimes-boyfriends.

An Australian judge ruled that a 50-year-old Aboriginal man’s statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl is not a serious crime, but traditional culture. But feminists say violence against women is a result of relatively recent history.

It seems as though researchers have developed a pill for men. Interestingly, it operates on the same principle as the female pill: induce pregnancy hormones. In order to counteract the problems that this would cause on a male system (impotence, decreased sex drive, etc.), they also pump the body with testosterone.

I’m fascinated that we’re willing to allow this level of hormone messing for folks to keep from getting pregnant, but we still won’t allow hormone futzing for trans folks. How much do you want to bet that this will be covered by insurance the moment that it is released on the market?

Once again, sexuality is correlated with brain structure. Only this time the relationship is found in sheep brains!

At least in lizards. “In the eternal war between the sexes, the lady side-blotched lizard wins it all: she selects her many mates, decides where they’ll live and even determines if they will have sons or daughters.”
