<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What we know today as a TRAVESTI or TRANSVESTITE is something that changes in  meaning depending on the context. These contexts can be historical as well  as cultural. All to commonly they the context in which these individuals are  discussed is nevernever far from the discussion of prejudice, intolerance,  substance abuse and violence. These is even more exaggerated when you deal with  cultures as complex as that of Brazil. Here the negatives are worsened and there  is no one for these individuals to turn to for legitimate and reliable help,</p>
<div>The day to day of these human beings is best described with words like -  PREJUDICE , DISCRIMINATION,  ABUSE , VIOLENCE. Words that define the daily lives  of thousands of Travestis that live in the big cities of Brazil.</div>
<div>From schools ,top homes , to families, to the general media  there are an  infinite number of situations that cause great suffering to these human beings  . Aggressions , discrimination, estrangement , moral insult , and all sorts of  individual traumas that we can not even imagine to be able to describe without  having lived through these tragedies ourselves.  There is so much work that need  s to be done to turn this around. To change the homophobia , the prejudice ,  to  simple tolreance and respect of teinherent rights of individuals to be  individuals and treated with dignity.</div>
<div>There is not a social refuge for the travesti in Brazil - that is to say  not outside of the sex industry , and maybe with a lot of luck and money , maybe  a beauty salon.  These confines these individuals to dive deeper  into the underworld of prostitution and human trafficking,  , and whether we  agree or disagree with these activities we must respect that they are  not themselves breaking any laws and are only trying to survive.</div>
<div>There are countless rights as citizens that these individuals are denied  here, in most cases they and their loved one are unaware of all that they are  being denied by way of basic human rights,  Their rights to property and  professional opportunity are compromised consistently.  There are  no laws established for their protection and leaves these human individuals to a  world with out law and order for them to seek recourse from./</div>
<div>SOS DIGNITY wants to change this. We want to change the daily suffering to  daily success so that they may enjoy the basic rights and freedoms that all  human beings are entitled to. And we need YOUR helphelo to do this , we  need your help now. Tomorrow is a hell away when we could be building steps to a  earthly home that would give hope that even a heaven could be found in the here  and now.</div>

<description><![CDATA[The time I go to sleep and wake up this semester is identical to that before college so the past few]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">The time I go to sleep and wake up this semester is identical to that before college so the past few weeks were full of recollections. When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait to enter college. I couldn’t wait to be in control of my time and activities. I couldn’t wait to learn from professors experts in what they teach. I couldn’t wait to work in one of the tall buildings in the Makati area. I couldn’t wait to earn my own money and buy all the things I want. But now I want to go three years back. I miss my happiest year in high school. I miss Quesci. I miss my classmates. I miss meeting on Saturdays supposedly to do a group work but ending up watching movies, chatting and dividing the work and doing it at home. I miss algebra, conic sections, aqueous solutions and organic compounds. I miss reading contemporary literature and memorizing names of 20<sup>th</sup> century Filipino writers and the titles of their pieces. I miss creating costumes made from recycled materials for the Mr. &#38; Ms. Scitech. I miss practicing singing for the Carol Fest in the cool air of December. I miss winning.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">***</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">I miss my brother. My family and some relatives attended my brother’s incorporation in the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) six weeks ago and the fact that I wasn’t there made me miss him. This brother of mine I’m talking about is the eldest guy and the second eldest of six siblings (Yes, you read it right. We’re six.), while I’m third. Like every other brothers with a small age difference or like every other pair of siblings with no other sibling/s in between, we’re not close. We often fought and, I don’t know if we’re the only siblings in the world who do this after a dispute, we don’t talk to each other for as long as we can. We haven’t talked for a decade and my life was hell with him under the same roof. He lived in the house like he’s the only one residing in it, his mp3 player and TV reverberating in all three floors. Last year, he dropped out of school after obtaining failing grades. Our dad introduced him to the idea of entering PMA, PNPA or MAAP and I was so happy to discover that studying there necessitates him living far away. He qualified in all the requirements which include 20/20 vision, a written exam, fitness tests and an interview. He chose PMA and last April he left for Baguio with nothing – no clothes aside from their uniform, no hygienic supplies, no nothing. There are stories telling about how tough studying there, like freshmen being beaten up for simple missteps like smiling. They are even not allowed to hold the banana in eating it – they have to fork it. I really can’t imagine how a disobedient man like him can survive it. I know he’s having a hard time there right now and I feel sorry for him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">***</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">I’m now a member of the first and only Philippine (not to mention, one of the most awarded) chapter of the prestigious Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). Does that put me in league with the likes of Andrew Tanenbaum and Robert Sebesta?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">***</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Congratulations to the Philippines for winning for the second straight time the junior division of the World Championships of the Performing Arts, the entertainment analogue to the Olympics. The country reaffirms its status as a force to reckon with in singing. It started sending contestants to the event only in 2005 because the registration fee was insanely expensive for a Filipino pocket. It sent two singers, one male and one female, and it has the least number of contenders, but the two still went on to win the golds in all the genres they competed and ultimately the title Grand Vocalist of the World. The next years saw the team raking in almost all the medals in singing.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/asmS17e3Nqk'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/asmS17e3Nqk&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>If you can't see the video because your job has it blocked *which is fine...you should be working ANYdamnWAY*, Mr. Illmatic and  hooked up with ColorOfChange.org to deliver a petition with 620,000 signatures to Fox News and Bill "I Just Beat a Sexual Harrassment Case Because I Was Trying To Phone Bone A Coworker..and I Even Offered To Buy Her Sex Toys" O'Reilly in protest of their racist, sexist and fear mongering brand of "journalism." 620,000 signatures is a LOT of people to sign a petition, online or not. I mean damn, that's a helluva lot of online traffic and a HELL of a lot of Bic pens that lost their lives in the name of protest. Let's have a moment of silence for those server racks and ink cartridges. WE MAJOR!!! *see what I just did there? HA!*</p>
<p>And now on to my problem with Color of Change reaching out to Nas of all the damn rappers on the face of the Earth.  Oochie Wally and You Owe Me. Yeah, I said it. Oochie frickin Wally and You Owe Me. Regardless of how much A&#38;R and label pressure *not to mention how many times he makes a Black Girl Lost or If I Ruled The World type track* Nas had to include those songs on their respected albums...he still had them circulating on MTV and BET.  It's not like those jawns were slow to bubble either. They spent a significant amount of time in the top 20 countdowns during their prime. I'm not even going to mention the fact that Nas has a new album out which needs promotion. From what I can tell from the youtube video, Nas only made one reference to the album.  I'm sure Billy will have his researchers and stat trackers count how many times Nas has said "nigga" and made derogatory terms towards women in his songs.</p>
<p>I'd really like organizations to stop using rappers/actors as spokespeople for your causes. I understand y'all may share views with said rapper/actor/athlete...they're still an entertainer. Go find yourself an educator or author. Go find yourself a CEO or a college student to put a face to your cause. As a 28 year old black man in the United States...I can remember Belly. I can remember the Oochie Wally video. I can remember when several members of the Dallas Cowboys got popped for coke. I can also remember when Bill Cosby stopped being Cliff Huxtable and he became William Cosby...the man that cheated on Camille. I can also remember when most of the programs on TV were suitable to watch at any time of the day. There was no Maury. There was no Jerry. There was only Phil Donahue and Oprah.  Children these days don't have those kinds of memories. All they know is 50 Cent, Heath Ledger dying of an overdose, Cita's World on BET, and "reality" television. I'm charging people that want to make a change to bring back the school book fair. Library trips. Finding guest speakers to come to your middle/high school that have actually GONE from ashy to classy by means of an education or the drive to succeed.</p>
<p>Once we're gone, the kids these days will have to deal with another Bill O'Reilly and they won't be armed with the weapons they need to take him down if all they can remember is Ocho Cinco doing a river dance in the endzone after a score.</p>
<p>Oh, and I'd like to big up ColorOfChange.org for at least making the attempt.</p>

Carissime persone che mi avete seguito,
Putroppo, nella giornata di oggi 23 Lugno 2008, il mio blog]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=maceriesr5.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/2133/maceriesr5.th.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Carissime persone che mi avete seguito,<br />
Putroppo, nella giornata di oggi 23 Lugno 2008, il mio blog "<a href="http://maxfrassi.netsons.org" target="_blank">Piedofilia: Blog Interno dell’agnello</a>" è stato oscurato da <a href="http://www.netsons.org">Netsons</a> all'improvviso, senza nessuna e-mail di notifica, nulla! L'unica cosa che ho potuto fare, era di salvare il salvabile effetuando l'ultimo backup del blog, senza però il Database è il prezioso file XML che Wordpress, ti fa tranquillamente per fare importazioni facili, sapete, facevo sempre un backup di tutto il sito in maniera regolare è tranquilla.</p>
<p>vorrei solo sapere i motivi di questo oscuramento, visto che provabilmente dovrei aver violato qualche condizioni del servizio di Netsons.  Curioso però! In mesi di vita, nessuno mi aveva detto nulla, magari per qualche immagina postata in passato...ma niente.</p>
<p>Provabilmente, credo che siano stati quelli di Geekissimo, che non hanno gradito quei pochi post che li citato. Certo, bisogna essere poco svegli per non capire che non attaccavo seriamente loro, ma che alcuni loro post li prendevo come spunto per la crescita del mio personaggio.  Infatti il mio blog, era un gioco, uno scherzo o per meglio dire una roba che prendeva in giro i bigotti, quelli che urlano "pensate ai bambini" ad ogni cosa, per giustificare certe cazzate, per non dire peggio e certi atteggiamenti, di alcuni personaggi, ma tutto sempre nello scherzo.<br />
Devo dire, purtroppo che molti mi hanno preso sul serio! Sono bravo ad imitare certi personaggi ?  Io sinceramente non credo di essere un bravo interprete.  Che buona parte delle persone, sia idota ? Questo non lo voglio credere. Anche se alcuni vedendo che il blog era una recita, cercavano di arrampicarsi sugli specchi....</p>
<p>Comunque, ormai che sono qui, non posso che dire alcune cose doverose, sperando di non essere frainteso.</p>
<p>Inanzi tutto, non ho mai voluto mettere un'avvertenza che il blog, era uno scherzo perchè il linguaggio e i modi di fare rendevano palese la cosa, anche se effetivamente qualche "sveglione" non ha afferrato la cosa.<br />
NON SONO AFFILIATO A NESSUNO! Molti mi hanno detto che sono affiliato a dei tizi di "falsi abusi", bene: Io non so CHI SIANO, non ho MAI AVUTO CONTATTI CON LORO, il blog era stato creato per MIA INIZIATIVA, totalmente indipendente da tizio o caio.<br />
Sono contro chi, fa violenza, di qualsiasi tipo ai bambini, non ho mai preso in giro le vittime dei pedofili ma soprattutto, NON SONO PEDOFILO, I BAMBINI NON MI PIACCIONO NEMMENO CUCINATI CON LE PATATE!!!!! Il blog prendeva ispirazione principlamente dai modi di fare e dalla reputazione di Massimiliano Frassi, criticato da molti per i suoi modi e di come gestisce il suo blog su Splinder, ma con questo, non ho mai avuto intenzione di scherzare facendo il verso solo a lui, ma anche ad altri personaggi in giro per la rete.  Io non ho mai affermato che i bambini abusati, non esistono (magari lavorare con un pò di testa sulla cosa non farebbe male al nostro sistema giudiziario, ma non è un tema di mia competenza), come diceva qualche "adepto" di frassi, che commento il mio blog, nei primi mesi di vita.</p>
<p>Ma voglio fare dei dovuti ringraziamenti, dopo tutto, questa avventura mi ha divertito, anche se purtroppo, in pochi hanno seguito realmente il blog. Forse se lo facevo uno dedicato al porno, molto provabilmente avrei avuto un discreto successo...<br />
Ma veniamo ai ringraziamenti:</p>
<p>Quelli di Wordpress:</p>
<p>Per aver creato questo bellissimo programma, che mi ha permesso di creare il blog che per mesi mi ha fatto divertire, senza trascurare il fatto che, tale software mi permette di scrivere questo post.</p>
<p>Gli autori dei vari plug-in di wordpress:</p>
<p>Un grazie a tutti loro, che mi hanno regalato molte soddisfazioni, una tra tutte, hiddy, che ha salvato il blog da spammer celebrolesi.</p>
<p>Netsons.org:</p>
<p>Per quando loro, mi abbiano oscurato senza pietà nel silenzio generale, devo comunque ringraziarli per avermi ospitato per tutto il tempo, offrendo un servizio gratuito, invidiabile, con tanto di Database, per non parlare che supporto.  Certo, potevano almeno darmi la possibilità di salvarmi il Database di oggi, ma ormai......</p>
<p>I gestori di Criteo widget autoroll:</p>
<p>Grazie alla loro esistenza, ho scoperto come certi servizi web fanno 2 pesi e 2 misure solo per non perdere "clienti eccellenti".  Nel mio caso, mi hanno cacciato a pedate dicendomi cose ingiuriose, senza nemmeno chiedermi qualche chiarimento, mentre quando un blog imbroglia il loro sistema per scalare la classifica del widget autoroll, per loro è tutto regolare.  Cercate su google "geekissimo criteo widget" per saperne di più.</p>
<p>Noemi Novelli:</p>
<p>Lei, che nel suo scritto su dada.net, ha travisato tutto il mio blog, oltre a collegarmi con persone che non conosco, soprattutto ad un certo LUIGI...chi caccio sarà mai costui ?<br />
Senti, Noemi, scusa se ti chiamo per nome, ma dopo tutte le cose assurde che scrivevi su di me e su come mi incolpavi per cose incredibili, sono stato costretto a bannarti, ma sappi che non era nelle mie intenzioni, però se poi usavi il blog per fare le tue accuse contro terzi, la cosa non la potevo tollerare(in questo blog invece non c'è nessun filtro quindi sei libera di rispondere quando vuoi).</p>
<p>Massimiliano Frassi:</p>
<p>Il principale ispiratore del mio blog, molti modi del mio personaggi, hanno preso spunto da lui. Grazie che esisti, veramente, spero che un giorno tu, prenda spunto dalle critiche per migliorarti, per diventare un difensore dei bambini migliore perchè adesso non sei propio il massimo, lasciatelo dire.<br />
Soprattutto, rendi il tuo blog più aperto, non accusare di pedofilia, chi non la pensa come te è non censurare nessuno! Vedrai che sicuramente verrai stimato di più! Ovviamente evita gli estremismi, perchè la magliatta che dice "io sono un pedohunter, fiero di esserlo" (se non sbaglio a tradurre) è una cosa che non si addice ad un sito che dovrebbe essere serio, come quello della tua prometeo onlus.</p>
<p>Moige:</p>
<p>Il mio secondo ispiratore, per molte delle sue boiate storiche che non sto qui a raccontare.  Però tutte le balle che raccontavo sugli anime e manga, prendevano spunto da una puntata di porta a porta del 2003 dove loro erano ospiti.... Cercato nel sito dell'adam italia.</p>
<p>A Quelli che hanno capito il blog:</p>
<p>Quei pochi che hanno capito il blog, principalmente blogger, che mi hanno anche fatto i complimenti per lo stile, vi auguro tante belle cose.  Soprattutto un grazie a chi mi ha messo nei propi link.</p>
<p>I tanti che non hanno capito il blog:</p>
<p>Questo esercito sconfinato di persone, che hanno travisato il senso del blog o peggio mi hanno preso sul serio.  Bhè Vi ringrazio di cuore, perchè adesso so per quale motivo l'italia fa cosi schifo.... Non ve la prendete, ma sono rimasto un pò deluso, come l'autore che fece quella fantomatica associazione contro i videogiochi, parecchi anni fà e tutti invocavano la sua censura...<br />
Poi, sinceramente, pensavate che ero cosi, nella realtà ?  Soprattutto ad un utente di HTML.it che nel forum, mi aveva linkato bollando il blog come "pessimo gusto", sai caro fan di Ranma mezzo, quando uno fa un personaggio, l'ho devo interpretate fino in fondo.</p>
<p>L'unico rimpianto, oltre a quello di non aver salvato il DB di oggi è quello di non aver finito un'articolo che stavo cercando di fare, in maniera più accurata...pazienza, sarà per la prossima volta, se ci sarà una prossima volta.</p>
<p>Mi scuso se eventualmente il post è scritto male, ma sto facendo tutto "pezzottato" per motivi di tempo vario, comunque correggerò in seguito.  Comunque se qualcuno vuole lasciare un messaggio, i commenti sono sempre aperti a tutti.</p>
<p>PS: Wordpress.com è molto scomodo rispetto l'utilizzo del software vero e propio, ma non mi sembra il caso di lamentarmi.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Considered by many in society as “freaks of nature” the travestis’ underworld displays certain characteristics of primitive social movements. Denied the basic human, civil and political rights enjoyed other citizens, their subculture is pre-political.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Bonded together by society’s rejection, their culture is ritualistic, with its own patois and rights of passage. Travestis often live in groups which play the role of an extended family whose leader is referred to as “Godmother” and who provides not only basic living and social conditions but also the value system its members are required to adhere to.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">While these leaders in many cases administer prostitution, loan sharking and trafficking activities, in other instances, Godmothers nurture their travestis </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">and provide significant guidance and emotional support. A Godmother’s character and outlook are crucial in determining whether her workers will be guided toward or away from criminal behavior and drug abuse.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><a href="http://www.openrightsgroup.org/2008/07/02/org-verdict-on-london-elections-insufficient-evidence-to-declare-confidence-in-results/" target="_blank">This from the Open Rights Group (ORG)</a> is scary stuff about the validity of the London Elections (which I ran in!):</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">ORG’s <a href="http://www.openrightsgroup.org/wp-content/uploads/orglondonelectionsreport.pdf">report into e-counting of votes cast in the London Elections</a> is out today. The report, which is the result of a huge team effort, finds that:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">“there is insufficient evidence available to allow independent observers to state reliably whether the results declared in the May 2008 elections for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly are an accurate representation of voters’ intentions.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">Votes for London Mayor and the 25 member London Assembly were counted electronically, and overall the election was well-managed by the independent body set up to run elections in London, London Elects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">However, transparency around the recording of valid votes was a major issue, leading many of our team of 27 official observers to conclude that they were unable to observe votes being counted. And while hundreds of screens set up by vote scanners showed almost meaningless data to observers, London Elects admit that the system was likely to be recording blank ballots as valid votes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">The report also details how London Elects are unable to publish an audit, commissioned from KPMG, of some of the software used to count the London vote, because of disputes over commercial confidentiality. The situation highlights the problems that arise when the very public function of running elections is mixed with issues of commercial confidentiality and proprietary software. In the context of a public election, it is unacceptable that these issues should preclude the publication of the KPMG audit.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">London Elects will pay Indra – the company who supplied both Bedford and Breckland during <a href="http://www.openrightsgroup.org/2007/06/20/org-election-report-highlights-problems-with-voting-technology-used/">last year’s chaotic trials of e-counting technology in local elections</a> – upwards of £4.5 million for delivering the London e-count. Today’s report recommends a full cost benefit analysis of any future e-count, set against a properly costed manual count.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">This cost-benefit analysis should include our report’s five recommendations for improved transparency around the recording of valid votes in e-counting systems. The problems around transparency observed by the ORG team can be solved, but it is important to ask: at what cost? There comes a time when electoral administrators need to ask themselves whether electronic counting really delivers value for money to our democracy.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">Apparently, one bit of the report states that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;">In at least two constituency member elections the absolute variance between ballot paper accounts from the polling station and number of ballots recorded as scanned by the system exceeds the margin of the winning candidate.</p>
</blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">Transvestites come from all walks of life, income brackets, intelligence and cultures. It's quite possible that</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">someone you know is either.</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;"> Transvestitism is primarily a male practice. Female transvestites are much fewer in number. This is probably because it is much more</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">acceptible in our society for a woman to do male apparel than it is for a man to dress as a woman.</span></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">Due to a common lack of understanding and acceptance by others, the</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">transsexual or transvestite often experiences the following:</span></p>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">- guilt, depression, stress, low self esteem</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">- isolation from family and friends</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">-ridicule and harrassment from the public</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">- discrimination in the workplace, including possible loss of<span>  </span>employment</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">- extreme difficulty in finding employment if transexuality or<span>   </span>transvestism is known</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">- misunderstanding in the medical community when seeking proper<span>  </span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">assistance</span>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">- loneliness</span></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">Joining SOS DIGNITY support group enables you to meet others like </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">yourself. For many, it ends the isolation and creates life long </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;">friendships. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me just say it works exactly like you think it would. It is a small app that you can get for <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285073074&#38;mt=8">free</a> from the iPhone App Store works great on the iPhone and the iPod Touch. It allows you to post to your Wordpres.org powered blog or you Wordpress.com blog (like me). You can access all of your accounts, and write your entry right on the phone. This is where things get flaky, for me at least. Imagine this scenario... You just finished writing up an entry and want to publish it to your blog. You have to set a time for it to publish, you can't just write up you entry and hit a publish button. This is annoying to say the least. What it does instead is put it into you drafts folder and does one of two things. It either waits for the publish time you set, or it sits in you draft folder until you find yourself at a computer publishing that way. I don't understand the technical problem that prevents them from allowing you to simply press a publish button and publish the entry straight to your blog. </p>
<p>To wrap this up in a scentance or two, this is a great app to publish an entry to you blog if you are out and  about and see something happen, it will save you entry into a folder and wait for you to publish it latter. Nothing more nothing less. You can't edit you blogs templates(my guess is because of screen size) or anything you just post. It's a great app and if your a wordpress user and and iPhone owner it is a must have. Period.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://iamjuz.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/prof.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29" src="http://iamjuz.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/prof.gif?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="44" /></a><br />
Sejak tahun 2006, saia aktif di Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa PROFESI. Salah satu organisasi semi-independen (independen dalam hal semua hal, kecuali <em>financial issue,</em> yang sebagian besar masih mengandalkan dari dana kemahasiswaan), yang fokus utamanya adalah jurnalistik kampus serta masyarakat pada umumnya.<br />
Bergabung mulai dari proses magang (+/- 8 bulan), trus masuk jadi pengurus selama dua periode terakhir.  Kepengurusan pertama aku dipercaya menjadi Wakil Bendahara Umum. Lalu kepengurusan sekarang (kedua,<br />
bagiku), aku mengambil alih posisi si PeDe (bakhen!) sebagai <em>Editor in Chief</em> alias Pemimpin Redaksi.<br />
Tugas Pemred ? Jelas, semua hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan apapun yang menjadi media terbitan PROFESI,  adalah tanggung jawab saya. PROFESI punya beragam media terbitan / produk seperti :</p>
<ul>
<li>Gelegar ; berisi liputan selama Ospek Universitas dan Fakultas, terbit 4x sesuai dengan jumlah hari Ospek. Peliputan, Pengeditan,  serta Cetak, <em>each single day of the initiation-day</em></li>
<li>Suplemen ; berisi dinamika seputar kampus</li>
<li>GonjangGanjing ; berisi mengenai kasus seputar kampus, satu tema dengan peliputan mendalam</li>
<li>Majalah PROFESI ; cakupan nya luas, tentang Teknologi + <em>Social Interest</em> masyarakat</li>
<li>Lensa ; fokus ke permasalahan sosial</li>
<li>Antologi Puisi ; berisi puisi-puisi ciamik</li>
<li>NewsLetter ; sebagai media pelatihan jurnalistik bagi teman-teman magang</li>
</ul>
<p>Untungnya, ada teman-teman di Bidang Redaksi dan pengurus lainnya yang saya yakin akan berdedikasi tinggi terhadap PROFESI. Ada sekitar 30-an orang yang juga aktif di PROFESI. Jumlah 30-an aku rasa sudah lebih dari cukup untuk ukuran Lembaga Pers setingkat Fakultas. Lembaga yang terlalu 'gemuk', akan menyulitkan dalam koordinasi.</p>
<p><em>Intro</em> ke masalah,</p>
<p>Seminggu yang lalu (selama beberapa hari, sesuai penjadwalan), kami mengadakan Rapat Kerja LPM PROFESI 2008-2009. Isinya, membahas program kerja apa saja dari tiap-tiap bidang yang akan dijalankan selama kepengurusan sekarang. Yang mau ku bahas di sini adalah tentang salah satu Program Kerja Bidang Redaksi, poin tambahan : <strong>Bank Tulisan</strong>.<br />
Penjelasan dulu ya, Bank Tulisan itu semacam wadah untuk menampung tulisan-tulisan karya pengurus yang salah satu tujuannya adalah untuk menutupi -jika ada- <em>empty space</em> di produk-produk yang akan diterbitan.<br />
Periode kemarin, Bank Tulisan tidak berjalan dengan baik, cuma anget-anget-tai-ayam. Makanya sebelum Rapat Kerja, kami (Redaksi,-red) akhirnya memutuskan untuk tidak memasukkan kembali Bank Tulisan sebagai Program Kerja periode sekarang dengan berbagai pertimbangan.</p>
<p>Bret, bret, bret, Bank Tulisan ini menjadi permasalahan pas Rapat Kerja. Sebagian pengurus menginginkan  Bank Tulisan tetep masuk, dan menjadi kewajiban / keharusan / disertai sanksi bagi yang tidak menjalankan. Dari kami (Redaksi,-red) dan didukung sebagian pengurus lainnya menolak jika Bank Tulisan menjadi kewajiban. Diskusi panjang lebarrrrrr..... akhirnya Bank Tulisan lolos jadi ProKer, <em>plus</em> disertai 'kewajiban' dalam penjelasannya.<br />
Aku sih <em>okay-okay </em>aja sebenernya. Jadi Proker. Plus wajib. Gak papa gitu. Terserah -mayoritas (hanya selisih dikit)- forum, kalo emang memutuskan itu jadi kewajiban. Karena ujung-ujungnya toh mereka juga yang harus menepati janji pilihan mereka sendiri.</p>
<p>Tapi kalo aku boleh mengeluarkan isi hati, ini jawabanku :<br />
<!--more--><br />
Jika untuk pengembangan diri pribadi, saya <strong>setuju</strong> dengan adanya Bank Tulisan. Namun sifatnya -kekeueh sumekueh- haruslah <strong>tidak wajib</strong>.<br />
Kenapa?<br />
Bukankah sebagai pengurus Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa kita HARUS aktif menulis?<br />
Kata 'HARUS' lebih pantas diganti dengan 'SEHARUSNYA'. Tidak mengikat, hanya menyarankan dengan <em>underline</em>.</p>
<p>Bagaimana dengan analogi anak-SD-harus-dipaksa-belajar-menulis? Bahwa guru yang memaksa anak SD untuk menulis adalah benar, pemaksaan dengan hukum legal dan mubah. (Analogi ini muncul saat dialog di Rapat Kerja kemaren, dan menjadi semacam 'pencerahan' bagi sebagian orang yang membenarkan).<br />
Benar, itu emang benar. Tapi apa kita adalah anak SD? Ingat, anak SD dipaksa karena mereka memang belum punya kemantapan dalam berfikir, menentukan arahnya sendiri. Mereka masih hijau.</p>
<p>Kita mahasiswa, sudah selayaknya tidak ada lagi unsur pemaksaan. Melanggar Hak Asasi, saya setuju.</p>
<p>Lalu dimana letak ke-PERS-an kita jika tidak ada Bank Tulisan? (dialog ini juga muncul di Rapat Kerja. Ditambah lagi dengan adanya -oknum- yang berdalih Bank Tulisan akan dijadikan 'kriteria' untuk program kerja lain yang saat itu BELUM dibahas).<br />
Pertanyaan aneh. Karena tolak ukur yang dipakai hanya Bank Tulisan.<br />
Lalu apa arti kita menerbitkan Gelegar (dengan kerja keras 4 hari berturut-turut, yang tentunya sadar/tidak  sadar disertai dengan loyalitas yang tinggi untuk dunia pers), Suplemen, GonjangGanjing (dengan resiko yang terkadang besar, dan sekali lagi, hanya dengan loyalitas untuk dunia pers kita berani melakukannya -kelak jika ada-), Majalah (yang kita tau sendiri bagaimana susahnya menyelesaikannya), bahkan ada lagi -insyaAllah- Lensa, ditambah lagi Antologi Puisi.<br />
Apakah semua itu dipatahkan hanya karena Bank Tulisan?</p>
<p>Saya sebagai Pemimpin Redaksi, <strong>bukannya tidak mau</strong>, atau bahkan tidak bisa, untuk menulis satu, dua, tiga, empat kali sebulan. Tapi bagaimana dengan yang lain? Bagaimana dengan orang-orang yang masuk ke PROFESI, namun lebih condong ke Seni-Pers (Fotografi, Gambar Bercerita, dll), dunia usaha (marketing, EO, dll), atau yang lainnya?<br />
Ya, mereka bisa menulis, sejelek apapun. Tapi <strong>haruskah kita paksa </strong>? Lembaga ini kita bangun bukan hanya dengan modal tulis-menulis. Dengan dinamika hidup mereka yang masih berkutat dengan kuliah, organisasi lain (jika ada), kepanitiaan (jika ikut), hubungan sosial pertemanan, belum lagi membagi waktu untuk diri sendiri (belajar, istirahat, ekstrakulikuler lain, dll).<br />
Sebenarnya saya juga ingin agar PROFESI lebih giat tidak hanya dalam penerbitan produk, tapi juga kegiatan  jurnalistik lain seperti : pelatihan-pelatihan, diskusi, dsb. Kegiatan yang dapat menambah pengetahuan dan semakin memantapkan PROFESI sebagai Lembaga Pers Mahasiswa, seperti yang menjadi saran dan 'wejangan' dari alumni PROFESI kepada saya.</p>
<p>Tapi berbenturan dengan itu, sisi hati pribadi saya yang berseberang mengatakan bahwa saya lebih takut dengan tingkat kejenuhan yang tinggi yang akan mereka rasakan jika terlalu banyak beban yang harus  ditanggung untuk berjuang di PROFESI ini. Apakah saya, dan Anda yang peduli, rela jika suatu saat satu persatu bahkan banyak di antara <strong>mereka akhirnya menyerah</strong>, jenuh, dan keluar? Jangan jadikan alasan : <em>"they are just another quiters"</em> , karena harus kita akui kita-lah yang menyebabkan kondisi suasana yang 'kurang bersahabat'. Kita membunuh rasa ingin berkembang mereka (yang tidak melulu harus dengan menulis), hanya demi memaksakan kemauan orang-per-orang yang memang condong ke arah tulis-menulis?<br />
Saya rasa itu yang tidak adil.</p>
<p>Saya ada di pihak orang-orang yang ingin berkembang, dengan dan lewat cara apapun yang tidak akan pernah sama satu dengan yang lainnya.<br />
Karena kita semua berbeda.<br />
<strong>Karena kita semua memang dimaksudkan untuk berbeda</strong>.</p>
<p>....<br />
Tapi okelah, Rapat Kerja sudah lewat. Program Kerja sudah <em>fix.</em><br />
Yang kita butuhkan sekarang adalah <em>commitment</em> untuk melakukannya. Jika ada permasalahan ataupun halangan saat kita melakukannya, jangan tunjuk hidung satu-dua orang untuk dipersalahkan. Tanggung jawab bersama, pasang badan bersama pula.<br />
Saya akan berusaha <em>monitoring</em>, khususnya dalam hal ini : Bank Tulisan, sekuat tenaga saya. Mengingatkan, mengingatkan, dan mengingatkan akan terus dilakukan. Tapi semua nya kembali lagi ke diri pengurus masing-masing. <strong>Untuk menjadi maju, adalah pilihan pribadi.</strong></p>
<p>Kita sudah melakukan banyak hal membanggakan di tahun-tahun kemarin dan ke belakang, dan insya Allah dengan semangat yang kuat dan tekad bersama, kita akan melakukan lebih banyak hal membanggakan lagi.</p>
<p>Aminnn..</p>
<p>Salam Mahasiswa !<br />
Salam <strong>PROFESI</strong> !</p>
