POPS10 Steps to Understanding Liberal Thinking 2. Free Speech Freedom of speech must never be quashed, except for criticism directed at minorities and sensitive constituencies of the Democrat party. Burning Old Glory is protected free speech, whereas expressions of conservative values by people like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage are unacceptable “hate speech,” which must be subjected to “fairness” censoring by the federal government. 3. Abortion, the Death Penalty and Assisted Suicide On issues of life and death, liberals are especially vulnerable to tripping on their own hypocritical double talk. Namely: A woman’s right to abort the life of an innocent child is inalienable; whereas execution of a convicted killer is cruel, unusual & barbaric. Starving a helpless victim like Terri Schaivo to death is acceptable; but using lethal injection to end the life of a brutal killer is not.

POPSShock! Pope Benedict Misrepresented By Media "It is necessary to have something like an ecology of man, understood in the right sense. It is not outdated metaphysics when the Church speaks of the nature of the human being as man and woman, and asks that this natural order be respected." From reading the articles linked above, you'd think that the Holy Father had just off the top of his head said, "Merry Christmas! And by the way, all you gay people are going to Hell." In none of the articles linked above will you find a single reasoned response to the metaphysical and ontological arguments presented in the Pope's address. All you will find is foamy-mouthed crotch-liberation theology. Is there such a thing as the ideal setting for sexuality as created by God? It's awful hard to deny. And it's not homophobic to say so.

POPSFacial feminization surgery: the subtle differences between male & female faces More: The male skull, Ousterhout explains, has more hooding over the eyes, whereas females have a more "open, convex orbit." During facial feminization surgery, Ousterhout pulls the face back from the forehead and removes part of the forehead bone, leaving a more feminine contour. The chin, which in men is wider and 20 percent longer than the female mandible, is reduced to female size and shape…The surgery will also lift her upper lip closer to her nose, allowing for a more feminine smile. It's a subtle difference, Ousterhout says, but men have a vertically longer upper lip than women. It's not noticeable when they smile, but when a man's lips are parted a few millimeters, the upper teeth are hidden.…the most obvious factor and biggest giveaway for transsexuals is the thyroid cartilage, or Adam's apple…Ousterhout approaches it through an incision just behind the chin to leave less obvious scarring.

POPSThai school offers transsexual toilet Thailand is well known for its tolerance of transgender men, and they are very visible in everyday life. Sex-change surgery has become a speciality of the Thai health industry, and it is relatively inexpensive; patients come here from all over the world for the operation. Despite their high profile in Thailand, transsexuals complain that they are still stereotyped - they can find work easily enough as entertainers, in the beauty industry, the media, or as prostitutes, but it is much harder to become a transgender lawyer or investment banker. And their biggest complaint is that they cannot change their legal status. Despite a proposal during the drafting of a new constitution last year, to allow them to change the gender on their identity cards, this has not yet been approved. What the third toilet looks like .

POPSSame-Sex Unions Coming to Cuba It appears our Communist neighbour off the coast of Florida, is pulling ahead of the U.S. on some very important social issues, including legal recognition of same-sex couples. Seems to me that the U.S. is falling behind many countries as it regards these issues. We are actually the only major military power that does not permit homosexuals to serve openly and with pride in our armed forces. When we will all just grow up?

POPSSinister Socialist Conspiracy Afoot in Spain You got to love Spain's conservatives. It's like they are being run by Colonel Ripper, protecting their "Purity of Essence"! "No Gays! No Girls! And no filthy Catalans! Viva Espagne! Down with Barcelona!" ;) But in the end, isn't this also what Americans fear? That some liberal will screw up our country by protecting "gays" and "working women" and "illegal immigrants"? Are we really any different? On the whole, and interesting article, though. This is a process that China has yet to go through, although I think the situations are extremely analogous.

POPSPersecution of Christian Congressman in Brazil Here in Brazil the pro-gay movement is not just interested in obtaining equal rights--they are trying to shut up anybody who might disagree with them. This is just one of many such instances throughout the country, on all social levels.

POPS Diethylstilbestrol (DES) in 46XY Individuals the Merck manual states, "Although biologic factors, such as gender complement and the prenatal hormonal milieu, largely determine gender identity, the formation of a secure, unconflicted gender identity and gender role is influenced by social factors, such as the character of the parents' emotional bond and the relationship that each of them has with the child". Merck is a major pharmaceutical company and was one of the numerous manufacturers of DES. the volume of the central subdivision of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTc), a brain area that is essential for sexual behaviour, is larger in men than in women. A female-sized BSTc was found in male-to-female transsexuals. size of the BSTc was not influenced by sex hormones in adulthood and was independent of sexual orientation. In my OPINION.. prescriptions are one thing, but what about exposure by other means and how it affects you, meaning hormones in your diet.

POPSA Letter to Congressman Frank How many ways are there to discriminate? How many reasons are there not to do anything? What have you done personally to ensure the rights of yourself? If you are not a man, nor woman, nor black, nor white, nor old, nor infirm, and so on. A human person is still a human person, given the same chances, the same education and opportunities, and the same life circumstances. If not a human person, what are you that you can stand aside to let injustice, indifference, and intolerance rule the world? Stand to deliver. Take care for now, Cathy

POPSTransexuals Are Biggest Threat To Children? Hard to believe that prejudice against transsexuals is so deep that the police will harass someone simply for talking to children. You would think the police would know that the vast majority of child molestation cases are about heterosexual men and family members who molest kids, not members of the GLBT community.
