'I know a lot of trannies are sad or pissed off that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act isn't going to pass with them included. I'm a ->-bleeped-<-. I'm pissed off, too. But no legislation has ever been able to deal with the root of the problem: You can't handle the impact of desire on a culture through the use of power politics or identity politics. No legislation can ever change how people feel about the chaos of desire.'
>sigh ::) what can you expect?<

Wasn't sure what to expect. What was there though was, to me, a well written essay with intelligent points and a fair bit of cultural slang that's seen even here often enough. :)
