So, Ashley Love supposedly held a rally outside of a GLAAD meeting. She writes: Though GLAAD does some good work, primarily for gays and those who support transgender socio-politics, we hold this education rally to inform attendees that the medical condition transsexualism is actually not about third gender politics or homosexuality. Our legitimate birth challenge stems from being […]
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. When did transgender become an umbrella term? 2. When did transsexual stop being an umbrella term? 3. Exactly how […]
I’m sure Marti won’t be offended when I point to the HBS/separatist clique as a hugely American, white, privileged former male movement. These people give no respect to those before them who lived for decades as women with NO recourse to hormones, surgery or even a sympathetic ear. The very women who kicked off at […]

The foundational falsehoods upon which TS Separatism was built have been exposed and thus, destroyed.

If you feel that I need to cover something that I’m not covering or that I need to cover something differently, please let […]
A few things that may be of interest from my research blog: Filisa Vistima’s Diary: Filisa Vistima was a 22-year-old pre-operative transsexual woman from Seattle. She volunteered at the Lesbian Resource Center (LRC). On March 6, 1993 Filisa took her own life. What you’re about to read are her own words from her own journal… Tere […]
From a 1989 speech given in San Antonio, Texas: You may feel that a specific national broadcast or the efforts of a specific local group are not in line with your personal gender identity. This might be true, but the gender spectrum is a continuum, and for each of us, there is a level that […]
If you’ve not done so, PLEASE take this quick trans community survey: [button link=”http://research.cristanwilliams.com/surveys/index.php?sid=27854&lang=en”] Take Survey Here [/button] This measures the “sense of community” within our population. When the survey is done, the cities with the most responses will have a “community profile” available to them. This profile will include basic demographics, how the community […]
