I don't believe I have commented on a Yahoo! News post in my life, and I've had an account there for over a decade. That site just doesn't matter that much to me. Those who post are those who are highly motivated to do so, and obsession is a great factor in motivation.<br /><br />Beyond that, I think a lot of the narrow-minded are seeing the world changing around them. They don't understand it and can't seem to stop it. If the worst they do is rant about it on Yahoo!, I'll be a happy girl.Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-53427696556060819892011-09-26T13:32:28.648+10:002011-09-26T13:32:28.648+10:00Hi Zoe,

I was wondering if those affected will...Hello Zoe,<br /><br />I was wondering if those affected will get all hot and bothered over the proposed word to be used. The word <b>"intersex"</b> isn't being offered but <b>"indeterminate"</b> and, how many people who claim "intersex" or "indeterminate" can get their doctor to write them a note saying so? <br /><br />I can see a great many men with Klinefelter's syndrome being disappointed when they can't get their doctor to agree. They have to be in some kind of programme to change sex to qualify. <br /><br />Then of course if this change is made, it will be the Australian government making the final decision as to whop can claim "intersex" and who cannot.<br /><br />This could get very interesting.<br /><br />Graeme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-62893239526386138392011-09-17T06:39:56.978+10:002011-09-17T06:39:56.978+10:00If I want a nice dose of self loathing, I will see...If I want a nice dose of self loathing, I will seek out a similar article on Yahoo "news." The commenters never seem to disappoint.<br /><br />There was a similar pile of comments on a recent story on gay marriage in New York. The 'nicer' comments concerned corn. My thought is,<br /><br />"If you have a problem with how gay people have sex, then don't have sex with gay people. And try not to obsess over it either."<br /><br />SarahSarah Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018597739320720216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-65482089299886713602011-09-16T03:47:30.070+10:002011-09-16T03:47:30.070+10:00"This initiative is in line with the Australi..."This initiative is in line with the Australian Government’s commitment to remove discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or sexual identity."<br /><br />I'm very worried about the potential for bureaucrats to use this as an excuse for involuntarily lumping all trans* people into the third category therefore discriminating aginst us in the name of not discriminating.<br /><br />http://jessie-c.livejournal.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-42007787432002394872011-09-16T03:00:10.134+10:002011-09-16T03:00:10.134+10:00On a positive note, the actual news article is fai...On a positive note, the actual news article is fairly well-written.Zimbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224034209171496275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-31881488262752658942011-09-16T02:08:58.428+10:002011-09-16T02:08:58.428+10:00Well, you're relying on comments for a Yahoo n...Well, you're relying on comments for a Yahoo news item to make your point.

I don't understand that thinking, and sadly I don't think that thinking will ever change.<br /><br />*I use "health" because I think that's the best way for me to describe the trick nature has played on you.kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.com
