GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

well they had a ''free car wash'' the other day...some church group and yes i bet they want a donation after the wash...these people are as bad as the cubans...i would guess if you qualify and are a cuban citizen it would be part of your health care package.but again...the comrades have to work for it.

Sometimes, it does seem that clergy can be blood-sucking leeches, especially television evangelists.

It's not a wonderful term, but it's not as harmful as SRS for "Sex Reassignment Surgery" which deflects attention from the fact that sex is assigned with strokes of a pen, and not cuts of a scalpel.

That's like saying a house is bought with strokes of a pen. True the paperwork is required to make it official, but until money changes hands, the document is meaningless. The same is true with sex reassignment surgery. SRS changes anatomical sex and is required to change legal (assigned) sex. Anything beyond that is a semantical word game.

P.S. Actually the excesses of the real estate insanity of recent somewhat invalidates the "money needs to change hands" but since most of those shady deals resulted in foreclosure, I'd say the basic tenet still holds true.
