A finger? Just send them a pack of animal innards with a note saying "too late". lol.

You just can't ; I'm pretty sure it's illegal (AND highly gross and of bad taste) to use a person's parts for jokes.

Well you cant arrest him for being himself, but during business you are supposed to do your job accordingly and not misuse private information for personal use. 

As I suggested. The letter is threatening (with intent) and borne out of malfeasance.

I assume these are both criminal offenses in the US?

No.  And especially no if it's directed to gender variant folks..

I am truely sorry to hear that.

I remember my brother coming back from his work's sexual harassment training and noting that it is apparently legal to harass trans people.

Trans folks in the US have no rights or protections at all and it's 100% acceptable and encouraged for people to discriminate against us..

Some states have very good protection.

Actually Oregon has very good laws in place to protect us.  And it is not acceptable or encouraged for people to discriminate against us.  It may be so in Texa$$ but not here.

Speaking of TexA$$... The Rangers are down two games to zero against the SF Giants in the World Series 

*Runs to hide* ... He He 

LOLZ... From what I can tell, there are allot of sporty girls about... But I live in 2010... The stereo typical gender norms of yesteryears ago just seem silly to me... Period 

Besides, I'm not a man hater... Period 

And I don't need to be a potty mouth to make my point

Have a lovely evening and a beautiful tomorrow

Soo, if the cutting of the flesh is such a mortal sin. Why aren't the chritians outside of all hospitals protesting all operations and telling surgeons that they are going to hell!?

If true, this person should be arrested,  the trust that we are FORCED to give to public officials should not be allowed to be abused in this way

Yeeeeah one day.....one day............... the world might be awesome...
I wanted just a link

I was kind of thinking that all of those circumcised Christians are in a very unenviable position with regard to heaven and hell...but then, those infants didn't cut themselves; somebody else did it. And I'm too lazy to investigate the original passage and find out the context and full meaning.

Dee is right.  It is also call Abraham's covenant.

Quote from: Genesis 17:10-14 (King James Version)

10This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

12And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

13He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

Sorry for the side tracking

That comes from the Torah.  It's a Jewish thing by origin.  BTW, the "Old Testament" IS the Jewish Torah.

I know; I was trying to refer to the passage about not cutting your flesh or whatever. The passage from the letter. Sorry I wasn't clear on that.
