I've blogged about this before, a while back when only female mice were turned into male ones by turning off the Foxl2 gene. Now the most recent study shows that by turning off the Dmrt1 gene in males, and I quote "you get an avalanche of feminization". http://www1.umn.edu/news/features/2011/UR_CONTENT_346326.html
It also goes on to say that "the research predicts that cells of the testes would become more female, but outward appearances wouldn't change." This is rather vague. If by "outward appearances" they mean specifically the testes, ok, I get that. All the female hormones in the world aren't going to create a vagina. However, I do believe if you flip a switch, which forces the body to turn off testosterone production and ramp up estrogen, the rest of your body is going to get seriously feminized.
Every article also talks about how this has only been tested in mice, and it would have to be tested on other animals / humans to be sure. However, every article also says that nearly every human and animal is defined by the same gene structures. Quite interesting research, and sort of exciting. I mean I just think about a time where this becomes widely available. The idea of taking pills your whole life is sort of a downer (and costly). The idea of telling your body what you want seems so much more fitting. I also imagine a time when this is a medical correction, like "hey, this person is in the wrong body, flip the switch to match his head". Or I can see people using this as an excuse to change gender, blaming it on some sort of gene anomaly. "Oh I can't help it, I have a defect. That's why I'm transitioning, I have no choice. I wish I could keep being a man" (crossing fingers behind back).
Ok, so I signed up for a "female persona" account a while back. didn't post anything, then suddenly when I logged into my male account, it somehow tied the two together (different logins and email addresses mind you). Probably some sort of cookie. Fine, change the username to something ridiculous, don't post anything, if by some chance my friends and family see it, they'll ignore it like it's some spammer.
Now that they've bought face.com for facial recognition (I.E. post drunk photo, perhaps your drunk face will be put on a budweiser ad on your parent's page). Or better yet *DUN DUN DUN*.. facebook recognizes that your face, makeup or not, looks identical. Oh yea, imagine to your surprise when facebook suddenly labels your female persona either as a sister (hey wait a minute, you don't have a sister.. wait a minute), or worse. It tags your crossdress photo.. As you! that's right, imagine your crossdress photos showing up in your feed, without your knowledge, because as usual facebook changes it's policy (without informing you), and you have to OPT out. Well by then, the damage is done. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Facebook-Acquires-Facial-Recognition-Site-Facecom-873744
This girl just never ceases to impress me. She's the epitamy of feminine. If you looked up Tart in the dictionary, you'd probably find a photo of her. Every video is cinematography genius, every outfit, every makeup is top notch (hell, lookup katy perry makeup on youtube, you'll probably find a dozen videos for each look). her latest is no exception. When I die, I want to be katy perry in heaven.
Yea, just finished my "california gurls" video.. time to film another one for a song not even written yet.
Be jealous, it's ok. Even with my hair matted down with a nylon, I'm still fucking sexy with my glitter eyelids.
Oh, don't look at the camera just yet. Embrace my eyelids and dark lips.. Oh, and look at my purple hair, weren't expecting that one eh?
Oh, there it is. The sad puppy katy eyes.
Hell yeah this dress is awesome. It's part medieval castle, part so-much-lace-it-could-choke-a-donkey
Ahh, now for the purity section of my video where I'm not angry for 5 seconds
Yea that's right, flower petals on my nails, and vine wrapped around my fingers. Innovative, that's me!
Read this article about booth babes. Ya know, those girls at electronics shows that look sexy, and hold up merchandise? Turns out.. they don't make much money. Yea, apparently unless your modeling clothing, you don't make much as a model. It's quoted that they make between $100-$170 for an 8 hour day. that's between $12.50 and $21.25 an hour.. hell, I make more than that. http://gizmodo.com/5916505/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-booth-babe
Seems like wendy's hasn't really had anyone to pitch their cheap-ass cheeseburgers.. and those.. delicous BACON cheeseburgers, and that chili, and... ok, enough about food.
Much like the t-mobile girl
They have decided to bring a person back to represent them. What better choice than one that kinda-sorta looks like the original "wendy's girl logo"?
They've chosen a redhead named morgan smith. She's wholesome, has a hint of sexy, she's just adorable
Check out the commercials, if your the type that fast forwards through them on your DVR. Truly the definition of "girl-next-door"
