Obama doing something right.

I’m not Obama’s biggest fan these days, but he’s doing me right
Obama has appointed Amanda Simpson into a high level advisory role in the Bureau of Industry and Security. Which isn’t to exciting, except for the fact that Amanda is a trans woman who is open about her transition.
Babysteps, I know. And when 1 in twelve transgendered people are murdered, this isn’t enough. But its something.

Some good news for reproductive health

Dr. Carhart, a colleague and occasional coworker of Dr. Tiller, who was mercilessly gunned down this year while at church by an anti-choice terrorist, has taken it upon himself to offer late term abortions.

Elizabeth Lambert and why women can’t get aggressive in sports

I find this to be fairly interesting.

Junior Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended from her soccer team and become an internet celebrity due to her hyper-aggressive on the field conduct when New Mexico played BYU this past week.

Yes, she was being a bad sport. But this is common in men’s sporting events, from football to soccer to baseball to hockey to basketball… the list goes on.

Why is it sensationalized when women like Elizabeth or Serena Williams show aggression or behave inappropriately on the field? Almost immediately after both instances, the women were painted as being masculine, men in disguise, having male genitalia, etc in an attempt to degrade them and illegitmize their accomplishments and athletic prowess.
