China Alleged To Use Prisoners In Lucrative Internet Gaming

SoyQueSoy pointed out an article that reveals it's not all fun, but forced games for some Chinese prisoners. It is alleged that after a day of hard labor some inmates are forced to work through the night as gold farmers. "Prison bosses made more money forcing inmates to play games than they do forcing people to do manual labor," [prisoner] Liu told the Guardian. "There were 300 prisoners forced to play games. We worked 12-hour shifts in the camp. I heard them say they could earn 5,000-6,000rmb [£470-570] a day. We didn't see any of the money. The computers were never turned off."

    Why do you talk about ladyboys on every single post you make?

    Because someone challenged him to.

    Get out of the closet.

    He seems very much "out" about what he likes -- and I see no reason why someone who likes "ladyboys" is also required to like any other men, so no, it's not the same thing as homosexual.

    I can see the response now -- "If that's what you have to tell yourself..." Except I'm actually straight (and would not like a ladyboy), just a little bit more educated about these things. That, and why should anyone be ashamed of homosexuality, either? It's not a matter of trying to pretend he doesn't like people with penises (so long as they also have breasts and look like women), I'm just trying to clarify things a bit. For instance:

    And it's not a "girlfriend".
    It's your boyfriend.

    There is a difference between gender and sex. While the two most often coincide, there's no particular reason that someone's gender identity has to match their physical body.

    The notion of gender and gender roles is a societal construct, and purely in the mind. The notion of sex is a physical, observable state. I see no reason why the two have to match

    To prove this point, John Money, a psychologist, once had a sex change operation performed on a boy whose penis was accidentally destroyed in a failed circumcision. The boy never considered himself to be female, started to actually live as a boy again at the age of 15, later suffered from depression and finally commited suicide at the age of 34. His name was David Reimer.

    It seems that "gender identity" is not influenced primarily by society, but rather is a result of the differences between the brains of men and women which are caused by hormons and/or genetics. Therefore gender is a physical state, too.
