Aleksa Lundberg, Swedish Transgender Actress, Mourns Forced Steriliztion

Saw this article. Thought it would be of interest to this community. See link below. This seems to be truly harsh and cruel. I can see no justification for it. I wonder if anyone here can justify this or support it.

Chaz Bono a plus or a negative?

Rami

Last night and again this morning, a local TV show had, so called represenatives of the TG/TS community on, who commented on Chaz Bono's appearance on Dancing With The Stars. One was quite positive and the other very negative.

I am wondering what the readers on this site think about his appearance? Does a person's opinion change, if they are or lean to M2F, are or lean to F2M, or are neither?

I do not want to get in trouble with Erin, so please keep the comments in line with the sites goals and ideals, and about Chaz's appearance on the show.

My (Extra) Ordinary Family -- My Kid Is Transgender" Wednesd

On ABC-TV tonight there will be a show concerning transgendered teen and pre-teens. I have no idea what the bias is or if it is well done. A review can be found at the link below. I also do not know the bias of the review.

The show teaser indicates they will be a MtF and a FtM discussed.

Cross Dressing Comedy on ABC in Fall - "Work It|"

I was just browsing the net (could not sleep) and decided to check on new television shows for the Fall. ABC is having a "Some Like It Hot" comedy about two guys who find work by cross dressing.

This following is from ABC.COM and the link below takes you to a page about the show and a video. My first thoughts is that it seems syupid and won't last long

World Cup-Susan Hurst

Just wondering, as the world's most famous female soccer (football) player will Susan Hurst be a featured celebrity at the World Cup in Germany tomorrow. I am not sure if there is an equivalent to as in baseball in the U.S. some celebrity throws out the ceremonious first pitch. If so I nominate Susan Hurst. GO USA.

A Man in Woman's Underwear Flys on US Air

I saw this on line at AOL. The title tells most of it, but apparently it is getting more play because US Air allowed him to fly, while there was a controversy on another airline, about a young man wearing his pants way down low.

D-Day

Today is the anniversary of D-Day. The cross channel invasion that freed Europe and led to the down fall of Nazi Germany.

I am not sure if there are any veterans of D-Day or even World War II on this site. If so, thank you for your service.

I know that there are a few who lived during the War, and many including myself who are children of World War II veterans. My father landed on Utah Beach during the first wave. He seldom spoke of the evebts, the memeory was too traumatic.

We should never forget the sacrifice they made.

Happy Passover

Passover starts Monday Night April 18, 2011/Nissan 15, 5771

To my friends:

May You and you Loved Ones
join in a meaningful and joyous Seder
this year and in the future.

May you be the one to hide the Affikomen
and get pleasure when someone discovers it,
or better yet, may you be the one to find the Affikomen (there is a child in all of us) and
holdout for the reward you most desire.

L'Shana Haba'a b'Yerushalayim

Sincerely ,

The kid is five and looks cute. He wanted to have fun, and the costume is over the top.

The reaction is idiotic. Most of the comments to the story are supportive

Not trolling for Votes - But, Seeking Help

Dear Friends:

On Monday, I posted my second story, a story I wrote for the March Contest, entitled "The Consequences of Foolishness." It, as of my last check had just about 1100 reads, 27 votes and 1 comment. I think the number of reads is great. I wish it had received more votes, but the number is small but okay. I am not using this post to troll for people to read it now, and vote for it. However, I am disappointed by the lack of comments. The only one I received was from my good friend Andrea Lena DiMaggio, and I appreciate it.

66 Comments - "Leadership" by Angel O'Hare

Leadership by Angel O'Hare

Angel's current story "Leadership" has created quite a debate, earning it, at my last look 66 comments. Many of those comments are fairly long including 1 or 2 of mine.

The debate has been lively, with the take on the story ranging widely.

She has also allued to many P.M.s she received regarding this story including 1 or 2 of mine.

In my time reading this site, before I became active and during the year and two months since I have joined, it appears that 66 is the greatest number of comments to a story that I have seen.

The Kings Outstretched Scepter

THE KING'S OUTSTRETCHED SCEPTER
by Rami
 
This is a story of how a King’s Outstretched Scepter saved his Queen, her people and granted an 11-year old their long held dream.

image

As I rubbed sleep out of my eyes, everything seemed strange. I felt different. I then recalled the events of yesterday, especially of last night. I remembered the tingling I felt during the reading of the Megilah. It started just as King Ahasuerus stretched out his scepter to Queen Esther.

My thoughts and recollections were becoming somewhat cloudy. Was what I was thinking and feeling real? Is that it! My, oh my, do I hope so. It would be fantastic!!! My dreams realized!!!
