“Poor children live in a particularly dangerous world--an urban world of broken stair railings, of busy streets serving as playgrounds, of lead paint, rats and rat poisons, or a rural world where families do not enjoy the minimal levels of public health accepted as standard for nearly a century.

It is world where even a small child learns to be ashamed of the way he or she lives.” WorldWayChildrenCountryEnjoyPoorLevelsCitiesStreetsCenturyDangerousBrokenStandardsEarsPaintBusyAcceptedPermanentPoisonAshamedServingUrbanRatsThreateningStairsPublic HealthInfectionPlaygroundsSmall ChildDeafnessDangerous WorldPoor Children Book:All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure Source: All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure

“[Transsexual surgery] could be likened to political psychiatry in the Soviet Union. I suggest that transsexualism should best be seen in this light, as directly political, medical abuse of human rights. The mutilation of healthy bodies and the subjection of such bodies to dangerous and life-threatening continuing treatment violates such people's rights to live with dignity in the body into which they were born.” PeopleShouldHumansBodyLightPoliticalBornRightsDangerousHealthyDignityAbuseUnionsHuman RightsMedicalTreatmentSovietContinuingSurgeryThreateningSoviet UnionPsychiatrySubjectionHealthy BodyMutilationTranssexuals Author:Sheila Jeffreys
