    What would you do if you wanted nothing to do with what was dangling between your legs? How far would you go? How much humiliation would you suffer? 
      
    All I wanted was to become a woman. They promised help, that they could change me. The interviewer had me perform humiliating tasks for the first piece of the puzzle, I finally sounded like a woman when I spoke! That was step one. I never expected there to be so many steps, never thought they had the ability to change me so gradually, so shamefully. I had told myself that no challenge would be too harsh, but how was I supposed to know just how far they would make me fall? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a man eager to become a woman and take it all. And he will. Take it all, that is. On his knees, on her back, bent over – it will be given freely.

    Political Choice in a Polarized...

    What motivates citizens to support one party over the other? Do they carefully weigh all of the relevant issues and assess which party or candidate best matches their own positions? Or do people look at politics as something more akin to a team sport—the specifics do not matter as long as you know what side your team is on? Answering these questions requires us to think about how much the average American knows about politics. Many scholars of public opinion believe that the majority of Americans only pay passing attention to politics. Thus the electorate's apparent lack of political competence presents a direct challenge to normative theories of democracy. How are citizens supposed to exert control over the government if they have no idea what is going on? 
     
     
     
    In Political Choice in a Polarized America, Joshua N. Zingher argues that these fears are overblown. Not only do individuals have core beliefs about what the government should or should not do, but individuals have become more likely to support the party that best matches their policy attitudes by both identifying as a member of that party and voting for that party in elections. However, as Zingher demonstrates, voters' ability to match their attitudes to a party or candidate varies according to signals sent by elites and increases as parties become more polarized.
