Love made yet another post asserting (without evidence, of course) that she’s a victim of the word “transgender,” that the evil transgender umbrella is evil and transsexuals were colonized: So, I replied… Answer the following 4 questions: 1.

The term was explicitly created to refer to other heterosexual crossdressers like Prince. Therefore, if […]
As some of you know, I had invited Dana Taylor to do a discussion on BlogTV. While she declined (she said she didn’t trust me) Deena was willing to take her place.
