Puberty blocker for children considering sex change
Children as young as 12 are to be allowed drugs to block puberty while theyThe monthly injection suspends the onset of adulthood so that young people confused about their gender can be sure of any decision before they take on too many masculine or feminine features.[/quote]
I know that this is a bit OT.. but the http://www.telegraph.co.uk link from Arraya had another link on its main page. These images ‘should’ discourage the use of illegal drugs. Some of the changes occurred in 1 year, virtually all changes significantly in under 10. (look at the bottom of the image for the timeline).

And amazingly, this is the exact area that the U.S. educational system seems to be the weakest right now!! go figure.I could also add reading/writing to the list too, because some of the ‘English’ I have heard/read lately can only be loosely called ‘English’. The subject matter of the written or spoken word might not be content neutral, but the ability to read with comprehension and to write clearly is.
Not to disparage those who have worked their ways up from ‘underclasses’.. but to have full coverage of every single ‘underclass’ and perceived “underclass”, it would take the next 100 years to have “social studies lessons” for all of those classes involved in the last 100 years. It also would not solve the ‘bullying’ that can occur. You actually have to address the mentality behind ‘bullying’, and this mentality is not because the feel ‘misunderstood’. It is because the ‘bully’ does it because they can.
Here is something else to think about. Do we have ‘ethnic studies’ of the Irish? Scottish? They were once an underclass during the founding of this nation.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114144197ParticipantIs there high power lines just to the west? I noticed a large linear cleared out area across the street and behind that house. Zoom out of google maps and you can see it. There are just a few things that can create that ‘cleared out’ area.
- High power lines.
- Underground flood control channel.
- High pressure Natural Gas line.
