It's really bad. Linky. It only gets worse from here, but I want to get this out of the way. A neovagina is not like an open wound. The body isn't going to heal it shut. It's a bizarre piece of misinformation. I think the point of the essay, and why the NYT published it, was to counter...

I debated putting this in sports, but it seems to be more appropriate for a social issues and current events thread. Note that in the photo accompanying the article, McKinnon does not appear to be presenting himself as a female, and the text makes it clear that he's operating with...

The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office has issued an advisory to homosexual and transgender persons regarding travel to parts of the United States after two states introduced anti-gay "religious liberty" laws. Previously, the FCO had only issued general advice for LGBT people ("take care...

I've been a long-time critic of Mother Teresa's orphanages and hospice practices, since visiting with her in 1990. Their mission has been to save souls at the cost of saving lives. It comes as no surprise now that when India's Ministry of Women and Child Development modified their rules to...
