...PHOBIA
Lately what I see when I turn the TV or the radio on, when I am on the internet for various reasons, or even when I chat with some friends, the topic is becoming a single a hot one. People taking sides and discussing or arguing about the transgender people or movements.

Farza tales
There once was a time where we were complete strangers. Connected by blood, but never in the slightest did we know anything about each other. You left when I was little, such vague memories I had of you for a very long time. I grew up never knowing my worth, or never knowing how a man was to treat me. These vital lessons every girl should learn. Until that one snowy night when I called you to save me from the gates of hell. I had not gone in at that time (hell I mean), because you drove 13 hours to pick me up. I remember when I got in to that rental a mess, smelling of truck stop, my heart broken, and full of fear. As I got into your vehicle to head “home” (at least for the time being) it was like getting into a strangers car. The whole way was an awkward silence. I had nothing but the clothes on my back from snowy Colorado to the sunny state of California. I had been apart from my kids, just like you were from us. I remember my entire time getting to really know you. With the gift of walking in your shoes for a couple months astrayed from my babies, I understood why you were absent. I understood why you too were separated from me. My time with you definitely closed chapters and started new ones. I realized how alike we were in so many ways. All the times when I was little where my mom would yell at me “that I would end up like my fucking dad” at the time I feared. Those fears were put to rest because you were pretty fucking awesome dad. I was able to hear your side of the story, not only my mothers which made you out to be some horrible person. I realized that the longer you were away from us the harder it must of been to face us, because that’s exactly how I felt. I remember we saw Led Zepplica a cover band of Led Zeppelin, I was so excited to experience that with you because my mom always said you loved them when I was little. So this became one of my favorite bands because of you. My sons middle name is Zeppelin. We sang every song at the top of our lungs. When we went dancing at that Mexican restaurant by the house, with that cowboy hat of yours. Having a Redskins jersey in your closet when you were a Raiders fan, just because they played on the Super Bowl I was born on. How can I ever forget the infamous shorts with your big long boots saying creepily “mad max, mad max”. I am so happy that I got these memories with you, gratitude engulfs my heart when I think about all those mistakes I made at that time that led me to get to know you. Led me to fucking heal. You told me during that time “it took 34 years to get you back”. I replied “kicking yourself in the ass now”. You came back with and I will never forget “no it’s bitchin”. I understood you more than you will ever know. I know why you did not say anything about your illness. I know because I would have done the same thing. It just fucking came to me as I write this that you were a free bird on earth, and have to be even more free after death. The ultimate freedom dad you so deserve it. Thank you for the clarity you left behind and the people you brought back into my life. I love you dad and I will miss you dearly catch you on the flip side.

10 Mind Blowing Facts About Twins
Ten mind-blowing facts about twin bonding Researchers in Italy observed 3D ultrasound videos of twins and discovered that at 14 weeks of gestation, twins began interacting with one another. The twins would reach for each other, and at 18 weeks of gestation, they would spend about 30 percent of their time in physical contact. More importantly, the twins would touch each other's eyes with the same care that they would touch their own, which could mean that they understood treating another human being with care and shared senses. The conjoined twins Krista and Tatiana Hogan are attached at the head through the thalamic bridge, and it is theorized that the twins can taste and feel what the other eats and sees based on their physical connection. Suzan Dominus observed the twins and made observations of one twin who was turned away from the television laughing at what the other was watching or the twin that hated ketchup attempting to wipe the taste from her mouth as her sister, who loves ketchup, was eating it. Massachusetts Massachusetts has the highest rate of twin births, at a whopping 4.5 per every live birth within the state. Researchers believe that this has less to do with genetics and more to do with the fact that these affluent towns have more women waiting to have children due to their career paths who later opt for reproductive assistance like in vitro fertilization. Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints due to the fact that fingerprints are not solely caused by DNA at conception. Twins do have identical fingerprints at conception, but by the sixth week of pregnancy, they are capable of interacting with their environment, specifically the amniotic sac, which has effects on the formation of fingerprints. Catalan and Valentin are twins from Romania who do not share the same birthday. Catalan was born prematurely in December, and Valentin was born in February of the following year. This rare birth is attributed to a rare congenital condition in which the mother has a double uterus. One in every 50,000 women has a double uterus, but it is believed that this is the first case in which a woman was pregnant in both her uteri at the same time. A twin gene has been discovered. The twin gene causes a woman to hyper ovulate, which would result in more eggs being released during ovulation, increasing the chance of having fraternal twins. However, there is no known twin gene for identical twins, so it seems that only fraternal twins are hereditary. Since 1980, the birthrate of twins across the globe has increased by 76%. This phenomenon is due in part to women waiting until they are in their 30s to have children.
