Separatism and Inclusionism: The Difference

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. Post-trans […]

Nikki Araguz, Jewel Thief Extraordinaire

I’ve largely stayed out of the ruckus over the whole “Nikki’s a jewel thief” meme going on because it had little to do with the trans community. However, it’s gotten to the point where I think that bias has come into play. As many of you know, Nikki just spent 15 days in jail and was […]

I am a PROUD Republican!

Erm.. I mean, I’m a proud 1950’s era Republican… Which is to say, I’m a modern Democrat From the 1956 Republican Platform:   [We] establish and maintain a peaceful world and build at home a dynamic prosperity in which every citizen fairly shares. We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because […]

Equality = Bathroom Bills = Rape: Reality Check

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 […]

Epic PWNage Fail

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 […]

Tranny!

“Tranny” is a hot-button word. Ticked off Trannies With Knifes was bad, but the gay director loves the term “tranny” (as did others in gay media). Just when gay actor Neil Patrick Harris gets through apologizing for publicly using this term, Ru Paul (another gay actor) says that she loves the term. So, what’s the truth about the word’s origin […]

Floccinaucinihilipilification

This post is a collection of randomness that didn’t warrant its own post; so, I thought I’d lump it all together here…  Dana Lane Taylor took down her site after I issued my challenge: After defending the show, ABC’s Work It was canceled and replaced with reruns. . Some YouTube comments I’ve gotten this week: “oh my god fuckin freaks, […]

Separatists and Fundamentalists

As some of you know some Separatists recently colluded in a bid to have the United Nations remove trans protections based upon gender identity and expression. Dana Lane Taylor, Cathy Brennan and Elizabeth Hungerford happily sent the following letter to the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women: This letter linked back (note the “xxii” citation) to […]
