Is such a thing possible?? No. Not biologically, at least. But, we can definitely keep blurring the lines!

New Computer Video
YouTube - Hp G42 363TX
I was researching a new laptop I wanted to buy and came across this video, which I thought was really special and illuminating. It just struck me, the shiny new computer with this definitive Latino backdrop. Ah, the courtyard, the potted trees, the upside-down Coke stands, the street noise, the people, the wind blowing into an open home. So, different from our culture....
It positively made me feel like an isolated hermit! So American! Gotta get out more.

Hundreds March Against Sexual Assault In 'SlutWalk' : NPR
Hundreds March Against Sexual Assault In 'SlutWalk' : NPR
"I don't believe that how a woman dresses dictates whether or not a woman wants to be raped. No one wants to be raped. And no one deserves to be treated like that," she said.
SlutWalks began in April when a Toronto police officer suggested women should "avoid dressing like sluts in order to not be victimized." He was talking to a small group of law students, but that comment incited an international movement.

CDC: Developmental Disabilities Affect 1 In 7 U.S. Kids : Shots - Health Blog : NPR
Not only is ADHD disabling, but it's developmentally disabling, as well.
A couple of students in my MSW class debated that ADHD is not disabling. "It's simply a matter of learning skills to work around it." Well, most challenges are, no? However, how does this answer the question of how to deal with this neurological disorder? And, yes, it's definitely neurological, as well.

I saw a wonderful documentary last night at an indie documentary film festival, named Play In the Gray, which deals with themes about gender socialization and LGBT acceptance. It explores the troupe members' personal stories about their lives, how they've matured into acceptance as lesbians, and about their relationships with other women and their families. Features the work of Kate Bornstein (Gender Outlaw).
About: "Play in the Gray is a penetrating, and at times vulnerably raw, portrait of the work, art, and emotional lives of the members of All The Kings Men.
All The Kings Men is a drag and cabaret inspired theater troupe based out of Boston. The troupe intrigues— on stage they perform as old ladies or appear to be women dressed as men or men dressed as women. Their electrifying, award-winning show makes audiences laugh while also questioning themselves and the world. Behind the scenes, Katie, Maria, Julee, Karin, Jill and Leighsa, the members of All the Kings Men, practice hard, spend long hours on the road, and struggle to “make it”—they want All the Kings Men to be a household name."
