Highly doubt it. My Japanese drivers license does not list gender/sex at all, and the only restriction to appearance in pictures is no hats. I would strenuously object to the placement of MTF or some other trans-identifying marker on my Texas drivers license, given how often it is used in Texas as an ID. Serious…

Early 2000s. No explanation necessary.

Personally I think things got a bit ridiculous in the 1770's.

Database error, site crushed.

None of the NBC article, the Live Science article it's a "condensed" version of, nor the abstract of the paper say anything about sexual contact. There are plenty of other ways to transmit viruses, and fooling around pales in comparison to killing and eating the infected. Also, the Librarian reminds us that neither…

I don't think "cross-species transmission" means that humans had sex with chimps. It probably means humans killed them and butchered them and that there was blood transfer and therefore viral transfers.

And after the Boston bombings:

Since Benghazi was the subject of the discussion, I present you with images of Libyan protestors after the attack in Benghazi.

Ahmed answered quietly, as before. "I guess it's me right now," she said.

You mean mainstream feminism isn't radical enough to be made into a bogeyman so the mainstream media had to come up with something else to keep their viewers angry and engaged for those delicious ad views.

"Only men can be sexist."

Is it weird that even though I think these men are physically attractive, I feel no sexual attraction to them because I know they're probably douchebags in person?

"I hope that many of us would recognize our own agency and stop holding down our experiences similar to this in fear that we'll be labeled weak."

Let me do a pre-post of the common comments so we can avoid clutter.

I feel like more of us need to realize that we ABSOLUTELY can get outraged at men (or women) who think it's okay to violate your body in any way. This is why we need to stop telling women/men to "smile" on command. This is why we need to stop telling little girls and boys that they MUST hug an adult stranger, family…

My god. Thank you for sharing your story. And thank you for being honest about the pressure to have a so-called thick skin when it comes to degrading, sexist, and sometimes violent behavior. We've been taught for so long to just take it. All of it.

I think it's sad as people that evolution is considered hypocrisy as if we should reward politicians who refuse to change and transform like society does. Like that is remotely a desirable trait.

Parenting. You are doing it right.

I'm Narcoleptic and a synaesthete. I still owe io9 a write-up for an article idea they had over there, actually. >>;; For me, sounds have colours, textures, and can also convey a sense of motion. I do very much know what you're talking about, although for the texture of sounds some sounds actually spill right on over…

Cool choice. I know that flags are a really big deal in my tribe. My uncle is a flag bearer, and I think that may be the most important thing in his life right now aside from his dog and his grandson.
