I think that the prisoner involved IS a woman[it's not so much chromosomes, as well...it's a social thing. I can't explain]. Just a very evil one, who out to be ashamed of herself. There's enough womanhood to go around for everyone. There's no need to be all insulting to the 99% of trans women who are perfectly fine people, just because one is a terrible person.

I hear that many trans people want fewer poorly done and embarrassing grad school studies and more actual tangible help.

Here I see another one of our woman obligations- be in a double bind. Deceptive Tranny/OHNOESTRANNY!!! Prude/Slut Overly involved mother/lazy 'mammy' Working mom who neglects the kids/lazy 'welfare mom'. Note that some of these are racialized and some of these are...I don't know the word for 'particular to the transgendered experience'.

In other news, NPR tries to debunk Canadian healthcare myths.

I discovered that yesterday a blogger nicknamed shemale[megan julca, I believe. She used to hang around stupidfree a lot and people would make possibly transexist jokes about how they'd hit it] blogged about the whole piny voz thing. I have no important insight about this matter. I was just about to go to bed, and then I noticed that I had opened that post 11 hours or so ago. Well, enjoy!

As you all know, I'm an asshole. Piny talks about another one. I am not an expert on trans issues, but I think it's cool if piny wants to change her gender back to female from male. Her body, her business. Anyway, I'm cool with people working this out where others can see. I'm an asshole, but with the power of assholery, comes the ability of others to tell you to STFU.

When I was an evil greater asshole than I am now, I used to throw my pain at others without caring about the effects. But sadly, I'm still an asshole.

Apparently there's something important about community health clinics and transwomen going on. There's apparently dialogue and disagreement, connection and confusion. I guess they are all marching towards a greater understanding. I have no idea.

I'm annoyed at the fact that people make everything into a moral issue. A kid notes that he would rather be a girl, and all the sudden, he's a 'freak' and not moral or whatever. Dude, the kid's five. You're mocking a little kid over a radio station. How can one judge manliness when such actions show a lack of humanity?

You know, I didn't see this story about this transwoman being shot here because it was buried at the bottom of the crime report today. There's probably some larger message about how we value the lives of women there.

Hey, this activist lady is really awesome. She has some awesome stories about her airforce training, especially the survival training! Uh...this has nothing to do with the actual story, although I must note that it's trangendered people, not transgenders news people. Anyway, it's an interesting interview. I've noticed this blog has become the local news blog, but I saw this video on facebook and wanted to share.

BTW: Discriminating against transgendered people is just plain stupid. Why do people not want to get good talented people in the work place because they worry about trivial things?

My upperclasswoman in my program showed everyone this on facebook. Wooo! Let's change that in the upcoming DSM-V!

Also, small things like earrings on babies causes cultural problems... I can't explain it exactly, but somehow it's not as big a deal and doesn't create large questions about human autonomy and integrity in my culture...

The question club in transwank part 1 and part 2. A small point that has very little to do. My bleeding out of my vag every month is artificially engineered using hormones. I find it quite disconcerting to not have a period for two or three months and then bleed out the wazoo, so I use modern technology to change that. It also prevents babies.

We all learn an important lesson on transpeople, cispeople and intersections of violence and privilege. Eh, I'm cool with being called cisgendered. I am who I am, and glad the police aren't throwing me in a prison full of men and fucking up my shit.

What is this bullshit? BTW: having a child is a huge consequence. what with the bed wetting and all.

This is the best post ever. This lady telling the truth makes it easier for some other woman to tell the world the truth.

People are like, being transbigoted on youtube,OK? I mean, it's not like, transgendered people work with the threat of violence every day,Ok? I mean, ~real women~ have periods,OK? And they suck, OK? That's so much worse than not being able to take a piss safely in some places,Ok? Oh, yeah, and are you kidding me?


Link to transcript of dumb video,are you kidding me?

Using my new computer and the magic of negativity, I predict that the Memphis police will make up some stupid reason why this attack on a transwoman isn't important to them.

Shame on people who attack transyouth

On 30 days, morgan spurlock lives on a Navajo reservation and is exposed to the poverty and joblessness there. He does do some omg, they are so connected to the land stuff, but seeing the native americans themselves talk about their situation counteracts that

Some asshat officer beat up a black transwoman. Shame on him. If he whines about being fired, he will be mocked.

I don't get what's with the ballyhoo about the transwoman being an omgcriminal, it's not like she was a pimp or a baby rapist, I can't think of a serious way to say this, but prostitution- it's not a real crime anyway.

How will the ban on castration affect thailand's lady boys? Is this a protective measure or a law abridging the rights of transpeople*?


*I think the concept translates,right?

I don't get the 'claims' part of this story. If you have a uterus, and a vag, you can shove a baby out whether you're a man or not. Diggers don't understand the concept of transgendered. Let's not be all rigid with our genders or whatever?

Piny posted but my brain has the dumb.
