Let’s imagine you have one of those glass-ceramic cooktops and try to do the following experiment: you see a pot with boiling water, and a red light on display on the cooktop. Now, which causes which? Is it the cooktop that boils the water, or is it the boiling water […]
Both the transgender world but also the mainstream have widely reported on the coming out of Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, world-famous Olympics decathlon champion, and stepfather to the Kardashians, thanks to a very well-planned ‘marketing stunt’, with a ‘teaser’ interview back in April and now the release […]
