Jesus… I hate it when bigotry is framed as an inherent right. Before you can hate, you must first be taught to vilify and dehumanize your target. It’s only after this process has taken place that you can view an entire class of people with suspension and conclude that segregation is appropriate. This process […]
Houston, we have a problem. Or, I should say that RadFems and Fundies have a problem on their hands. You might have missed it, but the American Psychiatric Association published their position on “transgender and gender variant” people this week… And their position is problematic to the beloved narrative and traditional goals favored by RadFems and Fundies: Long-standing medical and psychiatric […]
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 […]
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.

Today, the Separatists over at “GenderReality” tried to set the record straight on trans history. How did they set the record straight? They just asserted their version of reality to be fact and expected all to simply accept their […]
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. Most of us don’t know that we all owe Phyllis a debt of gratitude. In Houston, we trace our community back to Phyllis. On the […]
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?
