Civil War Monuments, Heritage, & Southern Culture

I’ve lived in the Houston, Texas area all of my life. That means I’m a child of Southern culture: I’ve had a CHL for years, I love riding my Harley Road King, and I love my Texas hill country music. I grew up just blocks from the KKK center in Pasadena, Texas. So, when some […]

Protesting PRIDE

Houston has always been one of those places where everyone could clearly see The Good Ol’ Boy’s foot on all of our necks. If you were queer in any sort of way, you knew it on a visceral level. When cops began joining us in Pride, that was a huge WIN for us because the […]

Janice Raymond, TERFs, & Insurance Policy

Someone recently asked me to breakdown the link between the TERF opinion leader Janice Raymond and insurance policies that exclude trans care. Here’s the link to the original article.

I thought it would be […]

For a while now, I’ve done abortion clinic defence. Here’s a dude that I followed around filming for about 20 mins. I found it interesting that he chose to use many of the same tactics sex essentialists (TERFs) do: gender baiting, equivocation about women’s rights, hubris assumptions, projection, frustration displacement and stubborn ignorance. Here are […]

Christian terrorist captured near Houston: “biblical gender roles” part of their “Manifesto”

In case you hadn’t heard, a Texas Christian fundie terrorist was just caught plotting to murder a lot of folks in my neck of the woods. While the group’s BS was taken down, I did find some of their stuff in corners of the interwebs: Why do feminists, gays, liberals, anarchists, tyrants, atheists, socialists, and […]
