8 novembre, journée des Intersexes

A l'heure où l'on dénonce l'excision, un nombre considérable d'enfants sont légalement mutilés en France. Parce qu'ils sont nés avec des organes génitaux différents des standards garçon/fille, on les normalise chirurgicalement au moyen de l'ablation de leurs organes de plaisir, gland supposé trop petit ou clitoris supposé trop grand. Ces opérations sont tellement taboues qu'on "omettra" de les annoter dans le dossier médical et on se gardera bien de révéler à la personne concernée qu'elle a été assignée.

Gay lifestyle vs life insurance row in Thailand

Gay activists in Thailand have lodged a protest against American International Assurance (AIA) for allegedly refusing to provide life insurance to a prominent homosexual on account of his "personal lifestyle," media reports said Tuesday. Natee Teerarojjanpong, president of the Gay Political Group of Thailand, has claimed he was recently refused a life insurance policy from AIA because the company has a policy to deny policies to gays and transsexuals.

Boy, Interrupted

It can happen wordlessly, as in a women's restroom, where I sometimes catch a fellow patron's gaze tracking from my face to my breasts and back again, her attitude one of idle curiosity or confusion, occasionally disgust or hostility.
