It's voting time again...
Yep, it's that time again. Just one month to go until Election Day. Now, as some of you may be aware, I'm a Democrat (strong lefty leaning), but that's beside the point. In my old state Senatorial district, there was a guy running, who was a Democrat. He also hated transgender folk (oh, and gays, lesbians, and bisexuals). Normally, I'd vote for a Democrat, but not this joker.
My point is this: although it would be folly to vote for a single issue, it would be proper to put that issue very high in your consideration. Once again, this is your life and dignity at stake. Please consider it as such.
Oh, and one more thing: If you're not certain whether you've registered, get off your rump and register! Then vote!

Peace
Every goal, every action, every thought, every feeling one experiences, whether it be consciously or unconsciously known, is an attempt to increase one's level of peace of mind.

Many thanks to Hiwatari Saki
As many of you who read this blog know, I also enjoy the reading of manga. Like other media, there's some which is fair, some good, some very good - but there are the very few which are truly stellar. One such manga is Global Garden. Wow.
I won't disclose too much to you, except the overarching theme of peace. I decided to give an occasional thought to peace. It's too important not to.
Once again, thank you, Hiwatari Saki!

World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) releases new, improved standards of care
*more above*
ezs note: Like I said before, the document (WPATH) is very important. Either click the .pdf file, or click on the banner which reads "WPATH Standards of Care". The document is long, but well worth it.

Human pappilomavirus (HPV)
Recently I saw a short study on HPV. It was surprising, to say the least. Studies show that, among sexually active females, 80 percent come down with HPV. As far as I can tell, there is no related study among transgender persons, M to F or F to M. However, there would some items that would be wise:
1. If you are active sexually, or thinking about it, go to a doctor first. Be frank about it. Follow her/his advice.
2. If you are raising a transgender child, (and,yes, there are those) talk to the doctor about what advice you should give her/him. Ask what stages you should go through as she/he grows up.
3. If you or your partner already has HPV, ask what medication and timing will prevent it.

ezs note: Despite what "experts" tell you, this is the word of eminent doctors, physicians, and psychiatrists. In a few words, you ain't crazy. To pursue this, the words are a bit scholarly for the layperson, but it's well worth it.
