...As a transgender woman, I was incredibly proud when, in 2010, Amanda Simpson became one of the first transgender people appointed by a president to an administrative position ...


Amanda Simpson won the 2001 “Raytheon Woman on the Move Award”, which definitely didn't go over well with the other (real) women working in Raytheon, Tucson.

Peter Capaldi is the actor who played a government official, John Frobisher, in the Torchwood sci-fi series, “The Children of Earth.”
Here’s a clip.

Who cares about the BBC or the programs they show on UK telly. Here’s the issue: When are the major US networks going to promote transgender news anchors, morning show hosts, game show hosts, daytime soap operas, late night show hosts, etc. And don’t forget in the business office. The New York Times itself needs a Tranny as their President and also as their chief editor before they should start criticizing a poor fictional man who is over 1000 years old, saves the universe so many times it’s impossible to count, and gets no thank you whatsoever from confused democrats who cant enjoy a good science fiction program on British TV.

I like Torchwood but they really don’t want me to forget that Jack is gay.

Ditto. I found myself saying "oh c'mon already, we get it." Then I just stopped watching. Too bad, the show had a lot of potential and was really fun before they turned it into yet another propaganda platform.

As a transgender woman...

I'm sorry there's another word for you: FREAK. Anyone seeking this surgery should undergo intense psychiatric treatment, not mutilation.

Raytheon is huge into diversity, cough cough. I believe there is even a Raytheon Gay Men's Chorus. Ugh. Maybe they all spent too much time in the microwave.

Disclaimer. Current employee. Don't want to say what I really think as I don't want it to come back on me...

Raytheon is one of our largest military contractors and I have little doubt that they apply a fair amount of pressure for the homosexualization of our military.

On a semi related subject, ever see this? The Dr. Who Weakest Link. Not the one from the episode with the robot host but the real game show. A must for Whovians. 49 minutes long but has a few glitches. I enjoyed it.

In recent years the females on Dr. Who have had more gonads than the Doctor - http://youtu.be/bvWYw0CnuSI

My biggest complaint with any video/movie used to be getting you to like a character in 3/4 of it, getting real emotional commitment out of you, then killing him off. With Dr. Who it has become, getting you to like a character in 3/4 of it, getting real emotional committment out of you, then suddenly, gratuitously, making him a pansy.
