Suzan Cooke Nails It!

While in the past, Suzan and I have had significant disagreements over her radical rhetoric concerning trans history, I’ve noticed Suzan’s tone has mellowed and deepened. While she does not self-identify as transgender, I take no issue with that. Furthermore, since she is no longer asserting as absolute fact the Prince fountainhead myth, I take […]

RadFems are attacked at dyke gathering!

  Or not. A lot has been made over a RadFem Cathy Brennan being “attacked” at a dyke event by event organizers and some cis and trans folk. After the “attack” shouting match happened, a few people made trollish statements about wanting RadFems to die. Personally, I see little difference between that violent hyperbole and RadFem hyperbole: … […]

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 […]

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 […]

Schadenfreude Anyone?

Who remembers Ed Burwell, attorney at law? Here’s a refresher: Nikki Araguz married  Captain Thomas Araguz, a fire fighter, lived in Wharton, TX, with Thomas’ two sons from a prior marriage. On July 3, 2010, Captain Araguz answered the call to fight a fire at an egg plant in Boling, Texas and went missing for several hours and was found to have […]

Dana Lane Taylor: I Rise to Your Challenge

Today I found that I was the subject of yet another Dana Lane Taylor gauntlet throw-down. Dana is an opinion leader in the TS Separatist group and in this post she seems to claim complete ignorance of any crossdresser leadership within the trans community except for the evil Virginia Prince. Well, as with the last time Taylor threw out a challenge, […]
