Two articles that I want to share- this blog post just happens to be more closely related to one than the other and I found it first:
Harm School, a discussion that's primarily about torture and SERE, but I think makes an excellent point at the end using BDSM for a parallel and that parallel's so very good that you can replace SERE with BDSM, and it becomes a powerful argument about what that is, as well.

Is My Marriage Gay, which I think you'd appreciate simply because it points out just how fucked up things can get for anti-gay marriage states when you add laws about acknowledging transgenderism to the mix. Born a woman but now male? Sorry, in Texas you're only allowed gay marriage- marrying a woman would be too perverse and immoral. I find that funny. I also want to call it kismet, even if it isn't, just because of the anecdote that Wikipedia has for the word.
