ANNA CLENDENING - BEND & BREAK

I stumbled on this artist by searching for "girl music" playlists on youtube.  It has a very positive and uplifting message, saying it's ok if you bend or break.  It also just happens to have a bunch of LGBT people in the video.  I searched through her youtube feed and apparently she came out as lesbian.  Anway, it's a great catchy song and a great music video to match:

Family guy - trans-fat

When I saw the description for this episode, I was really worried I would be offended (because I really like Seth MacFarland).  As expected, it was like any other episode, Peter plays the idiot that doesn't know better and takes it as far as can (and learns a lesson in the end which is that both women and men treat you differently as the other gender).  My only two negatives about the episode (if you can even take a cartoon seriously) is that Peter accidentally gets a sex-change (which would never happen without not only verbal consent, but every trans person has to live at least 6-12 months as a woman before they can even be considered for a sex change).  Then of course the other thing is that at the end of the episode, he has surgery to reverse it.  Now obviously there are female to male sex changes, but it wouldn't be the same as before.  Females that become males have the genitalia, but they wouldn't have the ejaculation (plus I believe erections are manual through bladders).  Anyway, this is the best clip I could find of the episode though I'd recommend watching it in it's entirety.

Tropic thunder - fake trailers (the fatties)

I don't know how I missed this.. pretty sure I rented this movie, must have missed this special feature.  Anyway, Jack black does a parody of the klumps, and he's dressed as a teenager, middle aged, and grandmother (and pretty convincing too)

drag tv weekend

First it started out with SNL doing a faux commercial for a drag queen GPS:

Then I watch the simpsons, and marge gets help to sell tupperware from her hairdresser, and all his guests assume she's a drag queen which helps sell more product.  Homer ends up dressing in drag to win back marge.  Beyond the fact that ru paul joined to do the voice of the main drag queen, they showed an interesting statistic that drag queens sell more tupperware than anyone (posting 4 links on the screen).  It warms my heart to see drag fill up mainstream television more and more.

Non-coding DNA changes genitals in male mice from testes to ovaries

I've talked about CRISPR before.. new technique for gene editing.  Many talk about how even if you were able to change your genes (or chromosomes), it may flip hormones but you would still have the same genitals (still would be a great medical breakthrough).  Article I just found talks about Enh13 (Enhancer 13) where they were able to take male born mice, and by eliminating a non-gene section of DNA make the male mice grow ovaries.  Granted that doesn't mean penises turned into vaginas, but it's a step.  Also note, this is a non-gene change which if I'm reading that right should mean it shouldn't have side effects that altering genes can bring.  I'm also assuming this is permanent, unless they have a technique like with that latest CRISPR techniques where they can apply a temporary 6-month change to test out their edit for side effects before making it permanent.

Youtubable - No more girl pranks :-(

So in his latest video he talks about how he's been away from youtube and concentrating on his twitch account where he livestreams playing games like fortnite (but he wants to get back to earning from youtube).
https://youtu.be/X8Dmu_Q4tv8

He also says he's a different person now and doesn't want to do the girl pranks (even though he just posted a week ago a picture of himself dressed up as a girl for halloween and asked fans to vote for best youtuber halloween costume).  Doesn't really say we he doesn't want to do it anymore, maybe his new girlfriend doesn't support it?  Who knows.  All I know is that he has one of the best sounding girl voices for someone that doesn't regularly talk in that octave (since he lives as a male).  Really going to miss his videos.

Quick change magic act - Why are there no MTF?

If you've ever watched America's talent, I'm sure you've seen the quick change act.  Woman steps into a hoop, and in seconds she's wearing a completely different outfit.  There is no real "magic", in fact there's a website that sells both complete outfits and the "clumsy loops" to convert any clothing into quick change:
http://quick-change-products.com

So I started googling to see if there's been any acts where the man suddenly wears a dress.  This is the closest thing I could find (but it isn't quick change, it's swapping people)
https://youtu.be/qa9rKfyBkHM

So finally I came across a page that said quick change actually goes back hundreds of years (not in form we know now), and it wasn't until around the 60's where russia started bringing it back.  Anyway, back in the 30's they coined a term "Fregoli" which means to change character + sex, and sure enough when you search on youtube you find an old video where a man quickly changes clothing (but in plain view), and in one instance hides a dress underneath his male clothing:
