This post was originally published Sept 17, 2009 here. I’m sure you’ve all read up on the silliness from some well known trans folk on cis as a term. I’m certainly sure you’re aware of the entitled privileged cis folk who whined about it (like white people crying about being called white. What the fuck, […]

This post was originally published Sept 07, 2009 here. So, today I was responding to a commenter on Alas a Blog regarding Sarah Kohen’s piece on trans folk and feminism. It’s a bit of a transphobic piece, like most feminist material is but that’s not actually my concern here. You see, the piece is speaking […]

Get Your Agenda Off My Body
This post was originally published Sept 03, 2009 here. (As a note: This applies to womanism too, as womanism only fully expands the women’s rights lens to issues of race but still leaves trans women in the dust more often than not.) I’m sure we all have a pretty good idea of the cardinal elements […]

This post was originally published August 31, 2009 here. In a discussion that originally was built around Kennedy’s pragmatic (but sucky) dropping of the trans community in the ENDA during the Bush era (on the post about Kennedy on Alas, A Blog), the topic eventually turned to the visibility of nonbinary folk as a part […]

This post was originally published August 26, 2009 here. Ever heard the name Mary Jo Kopechne? No? What about the second run of the GLBT ENDA? No for that too? Well then boys and girls and all those who break out of the binary, I’ve got some stories to tell you. Let’s start with Mary […]

This post was originally published August 23, 2009 here. Update: A friend of mine mentioned sexual violence and dehumanization targeting queer men and trans men by straight cis women, so I’ll wait till she comments in greater detail before I make any major edits. Something new and shitty happens every week to further drive home […]

This post was originally published August 15, 2009 here. For those that remember the last post about people finding cisgendered offensive based on some of the most fallacious and stupid reasoning applicable, don’t forget, trans people are just as capable of fallacious silliness.

This post was originally published August 13, 2009 here. Welcome to clusterfuck city. In order to give you folks a little bit of background here, there was a bit of an incident involving Pam’s House Blend and a wonderful concept known as privilege enabling (or as I like to call it “oppression collaboration”.

The Reality of Gender
This post was originally published August 06, 2009 here. There seems to be some serious misunderstandings going on about gender as a concept. It happens in the feminist community, it happens in the genderqueer community and the trans community and really, it happens everywhere. Some of these misunderstandings and misconceptions are simply an attempt to […]
