ezs note:  Of all the people - Senators, Congresspeople, governors or anybody in some lower office - that I respect, it's Bernie.  He may not be right  100 percent of the time (who is?) but he is honest.  No one else in the Capitol even comes close.  So when he says 'vote for Joe', dammit, I'll vote for Joe, and I hope you will too.  But above all, REGISTER.

New York - Freedom of Sex - The moral case for letting trans kids change their bodies.

Andrea Long Chu

New York Magazine

please press:  nymag.com

ezs note:  Once in a while, a magazine puts out an issue which will be discusssed for a long, long time.  Here is the paragraph which I feel is the most seminal:

I am speaking here of a universal birthright: the freedom of sex. This freedom consists of two principal rights: the right to change one’s biological sex without appealing to gender and the right to assume a gender that is not determined by one’s sexual biology. One might exercise both of these rights toward a common goal — transition, for instance — but neither can be collapsed into the other. I am put in mind of a bicameral system. Each chamber has its own prerogatives, but neither the exclusive upper chamber (sex) nor the boisterous lower one (gender) has the ultimate power to overrule the other. (Not all trans people wish to change their sex; some trans people are also gender-nonconforming.) By asserting the freedom of sex, we may stop relying on the increasingly metaphysical concept of gender identity to justify sex-changing care, as if such care were only permissible when one’s biological sex does not match the serial number engraved on one’s soul. The same goes for “sex assigned at birth,” which unhelpfully obscures the very biological processes that many people have a right to change. In general, we must rid ourselves of the idea that any necessary relationship exists between sex and gender; this prepares us to claim that the freedom to bring sex and gender into whatever relation one chooses is a basic human right.

I strongly urge you to read the entire article.  Agree or disagree, it could be the 21st century version of The Federalist Papers.

Vote yes on Plainville's referendum!

ezs note:  As I've said before, although I no longer live in Plainville, I read the town's goings-on with great interest.  There are two reasons why you should vote YES on the school board's budget:

1)  the middle school is in dire need of repair,

and, 

2)  it would royally piss off a person who heads an anti-anything board.

Yeah, the last one's personal.  So what.
