guevedoce

The genetically interesting phenomenon of the guevedoces in the Dominican Republic is also revealing about the development of sexual identities. Guevedoces are children born apparently as females who later (around puberty) begin to develop male characteristics. (The word guevedoce means "testicles at twelve years old.") The guevedoces have XY chromosomes, but because of a genetic mutation, their bodies do not produce the hormone dihydrotestosterone, which is responsible for a male appearance at birth. During puberty their bodies begin to produce testosterone, which causes them to go through a typically male adolescence. What they had assumed was a clitoris begins to grow into a penis, their testicles descend, their voices deepen, and their bodies develop a masculine musculature. The most interesting aspect of the guevedoces is that after twelve years of being brought up thinking they were girls, they suddenly develop masculine identities, express sexual desires for women, get married, and raise normal families.2 We cannot yet tell whether this dramatic change is due to the biological changes their bodies undergo at this time, or to the different expectations of their peers with respect to their sexual identity, but one thing seems very clear -- a person's sexual identity can change fairly easily, even after twelve years of upbringing. Theories about adult sex roles that have recourse exclusively to childhood influences may need to be revised

"...wondering wether I will just be regarded as a human being with a metabolic condition or not, instead of some mythical "hermaphrodite" or "guevedoce" or whatever."

Che Guevara T-Shirt Wearer

People, often caucasian teenagers and young adults, who wear clothing with a picture of Che Guevara on the front, without any prior knoweledge of the history and legacy of his actions. Che Guevara T-Shirt Wearers often mistake Che Guevara for a hybrid of Zack de la Rocha, and Hermann Krukenberg, and often aren't aware that his first name is actually 'Ernesto'.

According to many Che Guevara T-Shirt Wearers Guevara was an doctor who had both his hands cut off. He then went to on perform lead vocals in Rage Against the Machine, before they changed their name to Audioslave.

You are a Che Guevara T-Shirt wearer and you have no idea of who he is,
You are a Che Guevara T-Shirt wearer and you have no idea of what he did,
Your not interested in politics and you have no Cuban friends,
You Saw him on a jumper when you was just in Year 10,
You didn't know that he wasn't a singer in a political rock band...

Che Guevara

This cat fought for the "liberation" of Cuba from tyrants while in fact he helped put in place an even bigger tyrant by the name of Fidel "no more toilet paper for our shitty island" Castro. This "freedom fighter" is 40 percent to blame for the slaughter of innoncent industrialists who sought to make the best of the island's natural resources and keep the savages at bay.

I bet his beard is a hit in Hell where he is burning for eternity with all Amway salespeople and Johnny Carson.

If Charlton Heston had sex with one of the monkeys on "Planet of the Apes" his offspring would have looked like Che Guevara.

Che Guevara

Argentine Communist revolutionary who fought alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's Revolution to overthrow Fulgencio Batista. Although Che's rhetoric is popular among those who oppose imperialism, the United States in general, and capitalism as an economic system, Che also murdered over a thousand Cubans in his short stint as leader of the Cabana prison in Cuba without due process. Supported persecutions of individuals who did not agree with a radical ideology.

"The image of Che Guevara hurts Cubans because of it reminds them of the innocent men and women that Che ordered to be killed in "La Cabana" prison

Che Guevara

AKA, the Spanish Hitler. Murdered many families, including children in order to push his politicals views on others. Many mis-informed college students don't read about this, and decide to wear his T-Shirts.

That Che Guevara is a real son-of-a-bitch. He killed my grandparents.
