While I’ve noted the similarities between Separatism and Fundamentalism before, I wanted to point out yet another similarity between the groups: unsubstantiated prognostications of DOOOOM… unless the masses repent. This is my first of a 5-part pwnage of the top 5 failed Separatist predictions of doom. Let’s get started! Failed Forcast of Doom #1: IRS Deductions Remember […]
As many of you know, I have another blog that’s rather dry and is only focused on recording the interesting bits of trans history I come across. A great deal of what I post has to do with the language used to describe the non-cis experience. Here’s a few bits that I’ve not yet shared on this blog: […]
There’s nothing wrong with being colorful when demolishing a falsehood and there’s nothing wrong with robust and vigorous debate… in fact, there’s everything right about that process. The continued tradition of robust debate around language, the objective merits of Separatism vs Inclusionism, communal goals, etc. is a sign of health and should be valued.

I recently noted that Separatism made the news: New group steps out from under trans umbrella New Zealand Daily News Transwomen who are fed up with being lumped under “the transgender umbrella” are joining through social media and are urging others who feel the same to get in touch, in the hope of creating an independent voice.

We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because […]
Protections will allow men to dress as women “… in order to perpetrate crimes of homicide, rape, robbery [and] assault…” Sound familiar? It sounds like the arguments of TS Separatism and Religious Fundamentalists, doesn’t it? Actually, this quote is 40 years old and comes from a pamphlet published by a religious fundamentalist group campaigning against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). While this […]
I just HAD to share this attempted PWN before the author deleted her comment: To me, this post represents the epitome of what’s wrong with TS Separatism. The credulity, the belief that only post-ops can have valid experience, views and/or voice and the hierarchical elitism… It’s just wrong on so many levels. Unless the author deletes her comment, you can see it […]
