- Montreal Trans Training Opportunitity
March 18, 2010
We're forwarding this along from the Trans Health Network of Quebec:Developing Competency with Transsexual and Transgender Patients: Primary Care and Hormone Prescription
DATE: Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
TIME: 6:30 pm
LOCATION: Centre St-Pierre, 1212 Panet, Room 201, Metro Beaudry, wheelchair accessible
We, The Trans Health Network of Québec, would like to officially extend to you an invitation to participate in what will be a unique and valuable training opportunity.
The Trans Health Network is a collective comprised of several community organizations as well as a few individuals dedicated to promoting access to health resources for transgender, transsexual, and gender-variant individuals. In doing this, we have recognized that part of increasing access to healthcare for trans-identified people in the community is to build awareness of trans-specific healthcare needs amongst medical professionals – this includes knowledge of a number of specific issues such as prescribing hormone therapy and being sensitive to people’s chosen names and pronouns.
We are contacting you because we have either had contact with you in the past, your name was recommended to us, or you have expressed interest in becoming more familiar with trans-specific healthcare.
Thus, we would like to invite you to this special training opportunity. This will be a chance to become more familiar with the basics of respecting trans identities, find out the general state of access to healthcare for trans people in Québec, and learn how to prescribe hormone therapy and how to perform sensitive and respectful examinations. As well, this will be a chance for you to meet other medical professionals interested in providing better healthcare to trans-identified individuals.
The future health of the trans community depends on being able to receive adequate and respectful healthcare – and for that we need you!
Please RSVP by Monday, March 29th.
If you have any questions, please contact us at santetranshealth@gmail.com
- Come As You Are Blog - Choice Porn Title of the Week - March 17th, 2010
posted by hh on March 17, 2010
No, you're not going to find a link to purchase this title on our website. It's just not going to happen. But since my job involves reviewing ALL the porn that's out there, I feel I have to share some of the worst titles with you...just so you know what you're missing :)
They say we learn something new every day, right, and today was my lucky day (writing this on St.Patrick’s day, might have something to do with the fact that I’m some-percent Irish). I learned the term “Onion Booty”, which immediately skyrocketed to one of my favourite expressions existing in the English language.
If you aren’t familiar with the expression, it basically means someone with an ass so sexy that it makes you cry. Get it, onions, crying… yeah. Fucking fantastic.
I might find it hard to work into my everyday vocab. Maybe I’ll try it on a stranger…

- Come As You Are Blog - Scarily Hot - Horror Porn
posted by hh on March 17, 2010
I got asked to talk about horror porn the other day for the Showcase blog. It's always super fun to talk about interesting stuff like that. Unfortunately for me (because I like 'niche-y' porn), there isn't a super huge market for true "horror" porn, for a lot of our customers blood, gore and sex don't ultimately go together like pb&j. There is a bunch of it out there though, you can check out some of what we've got at the blog post here.I guess I should brush up on what is going on in the non-xxx world, cause I have never heard of Woke Up Dead...huh, I guess now I know!

- Dr. Feelgood or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Butt Plug
posted by hh on March 15, 2010
I really hate to ‘poke fun’ at other websites (or wait, do I really love it?), but being on the receiving end of a ton of strange emails, I do like to share with the rest of the world that may not be as lucky as I am to receive such gems. And in this case, I’ve learned so, so much about just who uses sex toys in this day and age. That is, only single people who are way too ugly and busy to get a partner. See the third paragraph – but really, read the whole thing. Here it is: www.doctorfeelgoodtoys.com
This website emailed me to suggest a link exchange, which I didn’t respond to, but found they had put www.comeasyouare.com up on their site anyway. I doubt we’re going to get much increased traffic from this exposure, but oh well. I can tell you that our values are definitely nowhere even close to being in line with theirs.
I’m also missing the whole point of this website. I’m guessing it might be some type of vessel for something else, I’m not really that internet smart. But it did provide me with a couple minutes of hilarious reading.
- Doin' it Daily - Fleshlight STU
March 15, 2010
Get ready to master the fine art and science of brinksmanship with the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit! Similar to the classic Fleshlight SpeedBump insert, the Fleshlight STU has exaggerated textured bumps all through the length of the sleeve. The idea behind the STU (and many masturbation programmes designed to help guys 'last longer') is that you masturbate to almost the point of orgasm, and then stop, and repeat. The extreme bumps of the STU just make the challenge a little more challenging! Comes with gold coloured case. Regular price: $85
Doin' it Daily Price: $65

- Getting and Giving Walrus Lovin'
March 15, 2010
We know we're nerds for sharing this, but since it's right there in our core values (#7, create nerdy fun) we feel justified.Last month we wrote a letter to the editors of The Walrus, responding to a piece they did on the banning of Lady Chatterly's Lover in Canada (What Thunder Bay Burned), and they published it! We won't reprint the whole thing here, but this is just a peek at our incredibly well written righteous indignation:
Even in contemporary public discourse, discussions of sexuality tend to be guided by moral bias rather than critical judgment. Sex may be more visible in this day and age — it’s used to sell products from lattes to jeans — but sexuality, truly examined, still makes legislators uncomfortable. When the government determines what is and isn’t a morally acceptable exploration of sexuality, we risk losing not only our artistic works, but our sexual freedom.
We go on to talk about Bill C-58, the toe-fucking scene in Weeds. It's short, but cute.
Okay, nerd-fest is over...back to work!
