Today medical rules are getting more relaxed. Some transgenders still elect to have full operations, but others (especially the young) express gender their own way, perhaps just with clothing or hormone treatments or with partial surgery. Increasingly, they simply refuse to discuss their private parts. "What's important is hate crimes and job discrimination," says Shannon Minter, a female-to-male transgender and civil rights lawyer. "Why does everyone want to talk about my genitals...
...Ware was the host of a constituent meet-and-greet for her state representative. Over coffee and snacks, Ware introduced Representative Patrick Dougherty, a moderate Democrat and devout Roman Catholic, to several transgenders. He was set to consider legislation that would make it difficult for transsexuals to gain even partial custody of their children after a divorce. For Ware, it wasn't an academic issue.

Another friend recommended a single-shot weapon, but Bill Kinkel bought his son a semiautomatic rifle. Later, he surprised Kip with a Glock pistol. Just down the road from the Kinkel home--nestled along a rural road that feels more Ozark than Pacific Northwest--a sign...
...tactics "really scary" and today's decision bore that out opinion. The judge ruled that Starr went on "a quintessential fishing expedition," using a tax case as leverage to get information from Hubbell about possible Whitewater hush money, trampled on Hubbell's Fifth Amendment rights and violated a partial immunity deal Starr had made with him. Although Starr will appeal, TIME Washington bureau chief Michael Duffy says this stinging rebuke will follow Starr for a long time.
