Well, it still looks like SOPA and PIPA are going down, hopefully, but now we have ACTA to deal with (which looks way scarier what with how they will be watching everything). I have a feeling they are just going to keep coming until something sticks and the internet will never be the same.

I didn't know The Awesome-Cool-Roommate was transgender. I guess you really are keeping on an eye on this issue then. It is ridiculous that they could think to tell someone what to do with their own body. I spent my whole childhood having people tell me what to do with my body, doctors and my parents, acting like I wasn't the one who had to live in this body for the rest of my life - so issues like this really piss me off.
