Seorang pengguna Twitter, @atmology memberi sebab dan alasan kenapa lelaki menyerupai wanita perlu ditentang habis-habisan dalam kalangan komuniti.
Dulu golongan pondan dicerca dan dihina
Lelaki ini memberi perbandingan penerimaan masyarakat terhadap golongan pondan pada zaman dahulu dan sekarang. Orang dulu lebih tertutup sehingga pondan susah menjalani hidup biasa contohnya bekerja menyara hidup.
Sekarang boleh jadi jutawan
Namun hari ini golongan berkenaan diterima baik dan mendapat liputan media bagaikan kelakuan mereka itu tiada salahnya langsung. Malahan sokongan diberikan menerusi perniagaan sehingga mereka boleh bergelar jutawan.
Yang tak terima kewujudan dituduh ekstremis agama
Dalam masa sama…
Ironinya, penguatkuasaan terhadap golongan ini tetap berlaku dengan penangkapan ‘lelaki berpakaian wanita’ dan dihadapkan ke muka pengadilan kerana disyaki terlibat dengan aktiviti persundalan. Sedangkan, sesetengah golongan lagi diangkat dan diagung-agungkan.
Bantu jika mereka ingin dibantu
Tambah lelaki ini lagi, golongan kekeliruan jantina berkenaan perlu ditangani dengan bijak. Pihak berkuasa dan ahli masyarakat perlu membantu jika mereka rela dibantu. Perlu bertegas namun dalam kelembutan dan cara yang betul.
Orang Melayu tak suka yang riak, bongkak
Ujarnya lagi, orang Melayu tidaklah terlalu menolak golongan lesbian, gay, biseksual dan transgender (LGBT). Ini kerana golongan mekap artis ‘mak andam’ sudah lama diterima baik tanpa prejudis. Cuma, orang kita tidak dapat menerima mereka yang sombong dan merasakan betul sentiasa.

a HOW TO INVEST The Importance of Financial Investments
If you're just starting out, beginning an investment program may be something that hasn't been on your radar. You may be more concerned with how to pay for items like food and gasoline. However, if you can scrape together even a small amount of money for investment purposes, you'll be on your way to creating a much rosier financial picture in the years to come.
Beating InflationIn addition to making for uncomfortable sleeping, stuffing your money under a mattress does little to mitigate the impact of inflation over time. Putting your money in a regular bank savings account won't help much either because of the typically minuscule interest rates. While placing your money in investment vehicles, such as stocks and mutual funds, introduces an element of risk, you stand a much better chance of outpacing the inflation rate throughout a period of years.
Saving for Retirement
Depending solely on social security benefits as your source of retirement income probably won't cut it unless you plan to subsist on a diet of rice and water. Unless your company offers a sizable pension plan, you will probably need to start an investment program as early as possible to ensure a comfortable retirement. IRAs offer an easy way to invest for retirement and also provide certain tax benefits. If your employer offers a 401k plan, you can benefit from the matching funds that many companies will deposit in your account on your behalf.
Putting Your Money to Work
If you have a job, you're undoubtedly familiar with the concept of working for your money. Investing allows you to turn the tide by making your money work for you. Through the magic of compound interest, for example, your accumulated interest actually earns additional money without you having to lift a finger. Consequently, your original investment can multiply greatly over time. For example, if you invested $1,000 at an interest rate of 7 percent compounded annually, your investment would grow to $7,612.26 after 30 years.
Financial Resource
Some investments can fulfill more than one financial purpose and serve as a valuable resource. For instance, when you purchase a home, it may appreciate in value and yield a handsome profit when you sell it. Additionally, as you make your monthly mortgage payments you build up equity, which is the amount of your ownership stake in the property. You can borrow against your accumulated equity by taking out a home equity loan or home equity line of credit to help you more immediate financial needs.
HOW TO INVEST Five Key Points to Consider Before Investing
So you and your special someone are thinking about beginning an investment program. That's a wise move because the earlier you start investing the more time your nest egg has to grow. Invest only $250 a month for 20 years at 5 percent interest and you'll have $102,758. Increase the rate of return to 8 percent and the total jumps to $147,255.
Financial Fitness
Before you start socking away money in an investment account do a fitness check on your finances. Your savings account should total from three to six months of living expenses before you start playing the stock market. It doesn't make sense to invest money until you've paid off your credit card balances. The average credit card interest rate on new credit cards as of June 8, 2012, is 14.9 percent according to FoxBusiness.com.
