This is a bit dry and medical but EXTREMELY INTERESTING to ALL TRANSPEOPLE...

"APPENDIX A provides an overview of a January 2002 poll of members of the DES Sons International Network when its total membership was just over 100. Members were asked to indicate the one term pertaining to their gender or sexual identity or sexual orientation that they felt most described how they self-defined among their closest friends. What is significant among the findings of this poll is that among the 63 network members who answered the question (approximately 70% of active network members), the largest number (23, or 36.5% of respondents) identified as “transsexual” (pre- or post-op), while another 15% identified as transgendered, and 13% identified as “intersex” or “androgynous.” “Straight males” represented 17.5% of respondents (the second highest response group), while 13% identified as bisexual or gay males."
Has anyone else ever heard of DES sons or daughters...
If this information is right all transpeople can sue the hell out of Dupont....right?
although as my partner just said it would qualify as long term Genocide by dupont... the drug was introduced in europe in 1938... and introduced into the US in 1941 used extensively through 1971.. and considering that the baby boom started in 1945..well you got the point...... Diethylstilbestrol was given to pregnant women to stop spontanous abortions... it not only effected the mother but the child In-Utero but also that child's child...
and just look at the explosion of TG, TS, IS: identified people in the past 40-60 years... DO THE MATH!
Please read this article and post your opinion, comment or just a note....
