Blogging Award
I received my 2012 OutSmart blogging award today:
Unity, NOT Uniformity!
As you may know, most of the TS Separatist leaders have moved on with their lives and the ones who are left seem to be the Ashley Love/Just Jennifers of the world who regularly make absurd and demonstrably false claims. I will continue to both confront and make evidence-based corrections when folks like Love attempt to pass off fiction as […]
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: … […]
Phyllis Frye: Grandmother of the Trans Community
Over the last 24 hours, I’ve spent about 12 of them scanning Phyllis Frye’s 1970s trans documents. I don’t know that I can even put into words how those documents affected me.

I’ve watched as cold-hearted tea bagging idiots have systematically sought to pay for corporate tax breaks with the blood of our […]
The REAL “Response” in Houston, Texas to Hate, Bigotry and Murder
While Perry and his 3 ring circus of anti-queer hate is gearing up to congratulate each other for passing the buck to Yahweh Elohim in what he’s calling “The Response”, the GLBT community in Houston came together to remember those we have lost to hate and to dedicate a small garden as a lasting place […]
Thank You Houston Transgender Community!
As some of you know, Brenda Thomas and I began working with Covenant House to get them to house trans youth back in 2000. Sadly, Brenda passed on in 2006 without seeing her dream of having a safe place for homeless trans youth to get help come to fruition. However, neither I nor the community […]
Republican Support is the Problem!
In my post about the logical fallacies a Republican judge had to turn a blind eye in order to come to the untenable conclusion that Nikki Araguz is a dude, I caught some heat because, as one commenter put it: For the record, ‘Republicans’ are no more monolithic than are gays. Implying that a moronic, […]
