araimangaJAPAN – Yes, you read that right. Not a manga about hermaphrodites, but BY a hermaphrodite.

It was the catchline on the cover that caught my eye. “Japan’s first hermaphrodite manga artist (intersex)”. Underneath that: “Manga artist Arai Sho takes a scalpel to sex taboos. CONTROVERSIAL MANGA!”

Now, I’ve read a lot of manga, some of it pretty weird stuff. But I think this one takes the biscuit – particularly as its non-fiction.

Here’s Arai’s profile from inside. Read the rest of this entry »

COLOMBIA – A five-year-old born with both male and female sex organs has the right to choose its own gender, according to a judge.

Colombia’s constitutional court says the child can choose its own sex or maintain both sets of organs, overruling the parents who want to make the child a boy.

“The child has reached an age beyond which gender identification is determined,” the court said, stating that it was now up to the child to decide its reproductive future with support from specialists and the parents. Read the rest of this entry »

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – The journal of Reform rabbis published an article this week proclaiming that if the four-letter Hebrew name of God were spelled backward and pronounced it would sound like the Hebrew words for “he” and “she.”

With the help of some frozen sperm at first, females could procreate on their own until stem-cell technology meant bone marrow and other human tissue could be converted into sperm, the senior lecturer at Monash University’s Centre for Human Bioethics said. Read the rest of this entry »

Soynuts

“Daniel’s book explains that exposure to soy in utero can also exert demasculinizing effects on unborn baby boys, and cites a recent upswing in birth defects such as genotypic males born with female genitalia; hypospadias…”

NEW DEHLI, INDIA – The multibillion-dollar American soy industry has spent the last decade cultivating the Indian market. Now that their efforts are finally bearing fruit, it will mean record profits – but despite the soy industry’s often-trumpeted health claims, these profits could come at a dangerously high cost to the Indian environment and the health of its people.
