That Awkward Moment

One of the charges Transgender Warriors and their Signal-Boosting Liberal Allies regularly lodge against Radical Feminists is that Radical Feminists are “biological determinists” for knowing that human biology exists. According to these folks, biological determinism makes us Nazis and KKK members and right-wingers. Transgender Warriors and Outstanding Liberal Allies engage in this blitz attack on […]

What About The Men?

I am an avid reader of your blogs (I think I sent you a FB message once saying something to the effect of “keep fighting the good fight”). I was wondering if you might write up a post some day on how lay men who are not part of this particular struggle can be allies […]

A Trans Man Walks Into A Man’s Spa…Have You Heard This One Before?

Meet Levi Pine. Levi is a trans man who lives in Chicago and does union organizing. He seems like a good person. And he’s not trying to invade women-only space, even though I’d welcome him (as he’s actually Female). It’s Levi’s “actual Femaleness” that led Levi to cross my desk. The Windy City Times reports […]

Cisterhood is Powerful

I need to be honest with you, Internet. I am completely bored by the conversation about your gender, your gender identity, your gender expression.

Compulsory Heterosexuality, Queerified

Much has been written over the last 15 years regarding the issue Transgender inclusion within the Gay and Lesbian Movement. The argument for inclusion originates in the notion that we are all Queer, that we are all read by the larger heteronormative society as Queer, regardless of how our own identification varies on this theme.

Females: Silenced By Trans*

As Females, we have devoted much time to supporting Trans* causes. Why are we doing this, when it seems clear that Trans* does not extend us the same respect? Abortion: Here. Here. Here. Here. Here. Free Speech: Here. Here. Rape: Here. Birth Control: Here. Add your own links to comments, articles and the assorted detritus […]

Allyson Clarke: That’s No Lady

Only in Trans Land does a transwoman harass a dyke at the Dyke March and then have the balls to accuse the dyke of sexually harassing her. Allyson, you are repulsive.
