“How the sex bias prevails.” Fascinating and depressing. Obviously one of the difficulties in proving that gender bias exists is that very few people experience life as both a man and a woman. This article (an excerpt from this book) profiles two scientists at Stanford University in the U.S., both of whom are transgendered. Needless to say, the female-to-male is enjoying more success in his career than the male-to-female. Like I said, fascinating and depressing.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Just curious — do you identify yourself as a feminist? You seem to have feminist leanings but I don’t recall, in my six or seven years of reading your blog, seeing you use the word to describe yourself. (Correct me if I’m mistaken.)
I am a feminist loud and proud. It’s not a dirty word 🙂
Oh hells yeah. I’m surprised you had to ask!
Go to the archives and search on “feminist.” You’ve just missed it. 🙂
