New Blog Header for Pride 2015

As my darling graphics artist and husband Tomais is sick I have had to revert to my own resources in making this blog header for the Second Pride Festival week. You must simply endure...

Things Not To Say To A Trans Person

The BBC has released a video in which transgender persons discuss common questions to transgender people.

Frequently asked questions they face can be: When did you decide to be transgender? Are you sure you're not just gay? How do you have sex? Which restroom do you use? Are you a drag queen? Have you had "the operation"?

A New Swedish Word

Now the Swedish language has its own word for female masturbation. The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU) at its congress has decided on the new word "klittra".

"The Venus of Urbino" by Titian (1538)

"Putting words on women's masturbation gives us the opportunity to talk about sexuality in a simple and less clinical manner" writes Frida Zellinger on the organization's blog.

In November 2014 RFSU announced a competition to find the best word for female masturbation. After first choosing the 40 top favorite words or expressions, the Swedish people voted for their favorites and klittra got 30 percent of the votes.

Although I already know that Second Pride's claim to this being the organization's 10th anniversary is challenged by some, I choose to accept it. (Nota bene, in my response to a comment by my dear friend Garth Raleigh, I - after having reviewed what  Second Pride actually says - correct myself as to the organization claiming anything of the sort.)

In my mind Second Pride - and any other LGBT organization on the grid, that can show any connection between their existing organization and the ad hoc committees celebrating Pride in the early days of SecondLife, can make the same claim.
