    Attack the messenger instead of hearing the message. Typical. You do love to cling to your ignorance.

    That doesn't even look feminine enough to get scrubbed from Orthodox Jew Daily.

    Only because I just read a cool little story and it reminded me of the cold chill that so obviously ran up Sweet Caleb's spine ...

    A transgender man from Spain had a private audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Saturday.
    Hoy, a newspaper in the Extremadura region of Spain, reported that Diego Neria Lejárraga and his fiancée had a private audience with the pontiff that took place at his official residence.

    Neria told Francis in a letter that some of his fellow parishioners at the church he attends in the Spanish city of Plasencia rejected him after he underwent sex-reassignment surgery. He said a priest even called him “the devil’s daughter.”

    Francis called Neria on Christmas Eve after receiving his letter.

    The private audience took place a month later.

    “After hearing him on many occasions, I felt that he would listen to me,” Neria told Hoy in an interview the newspaper published on Sunday.

    The meeting took place against the backdrop of what many LGBT Catholics have described as the Vatican’s more moderate tone on marriage rights for same-sex couples and other issues since Francis became pope nearly two years ago.

    Never heard of this site, but TMZ is going with it as well.

    If this is what he wants -- and has wanted for a long time -- then good for him. I just hope it ends well, and by well, I pretty much mean any way other than suicide.
