Rebound

Nothing Really Important
Did you ever watch the show Herman’s Head? It was on FOX in the early 90’s and was a fun view (Duet was good too, before they turned Laura into an alcoholic and moved the focus away from her and Ben …. oh, some trivia …. Ellen DeGeneres started out on Duet.) Anyways …. the…

one word, lisa: eugenics.
While I understand Stacy’s concern, after idiots like John Money ruined so many peoples lives (both ways), I have to say that this -may- cause less of that.
Imagine, growing up as female (even with less than perfect genetalia), and never having to have lived with the wrong body. Wouldn’t that be worth it? You -do- know what it’s like to be on the wrong side of that argument.
I’d have wished it for myself, if I had had that affliction.
Hugz!
while this article has a warm-fuzzy-feeling about it, it scares me–
“‘If physicians could predict the gender of newborns with ambiguous genitalia at birth, we would make less mistakes in gender assignment,’ Vilain said.”
While this is even more reality that fundamentalists will have to ignore, there is still the attitude that SOMEONE ELSE has the authority to determine our gender and identity on our behalf, and the prerogative as scientists to poke around our brains making that decision…
