Himself? Melania?

Probably the good old days in the 1930s, when brown-shirted members of the German-American Bund (and it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump’s father was a supporter) went around NYC trying to beat up Jews, when they weren’t attending pro-Hitler rallies. Too bad for them that there were groups of Jews who were very happy to…

I know she’s changed her thinking a bit, but did you ever read bell hooks’ review of Paris Is Burning? Seriously homophobic and transphobic.

Speaking of fucking idiots.

Nope. Some of them are young white privileged men who are afraid of strong women. Let’s not be ageist!

Not yet, even though my user name isn’t so different from my real name, and is the same one I’ve used elsewhere. It does worry me a little sometimes, because I’m way more open here about having a trans history than I am in my day-to-day life.

I loved her piece. Except for the list of “demands” at the end. I’m not sure what she expects will be the result of demanding, among other things, “that this colonized United States be returned to Native peoples.” Including everything in it that’s owned by black people, I suppose. This, from someone who only believes…

Bordering on? The idea that “a guy in women’s clothing” is inherently funny — in and of itself, without more — is quintessentially transphobic.

Exactly. I have nothing but contempt for any trans woman who still considers herself a conservative Republican. Especially since that necessarily means she supports their anti-LGBT agenda. Yes, she’s shielded by her wealth more than 99.9% of other trans people, but what if conservative-supported laws pass requiring…

TERFs believe that trans men are, in fact, women — no matter how masculine they look, they’re just misguided “butches” who’ve sold out in order to benefit from the patriarchy.

Yeah, no. Christianity is founded on triumphalist supersessionism of Judaism — after all, when Christians call it the “Old” Testament, they’re not talking about chronology, they’re talking about “old” in the sense of superseded and no longer valid on its own — and Paul was one of the progenitors of that. (Even though…

Don’t be silly: it has to be a penile ultrasound, where they shove a metal rod up your penis to make sure that the Viagra is really needed.

Leaving aside the fact that the majority of the Jewish population of Israel doesn’t have any European origin at all, where do you think those refugees’ ancestors came from originally? After how many generations of exile does one lose one’s ancestral connection to one’s homeland? You can’t have it both ways — if…

Thank you. It’s usually impossible to have a conversation online about FGM without being inundated by men whining about how their lives were ruined by their parents’ circumcizing them.

You can stand on your head as long as you like, but you will never be able to shoehorn Jews in Israel into a simplistic “white European settler colonialist” paradigm. It simply doesn’t work, and it’s based on a long series of blatant lies about history, designed to deny the existence of an ancestral connection between…

Thank you. This is something I posted a few months ago about the day I came out to him:

I don’t get it either. There’s nothing worse than a parent rejecting a child for being who they are. When my son came out to me at 12, the idea of being anything other than completely positive never crossed my mind. And when I came out to him as trans two years later, he was just as accepting of me. It went both ways…

Don’t forget the transphobia.

I do know Dolly Parton is a strong supporter of LGBT rights, so I have a feeling that she’s otherwise OK.

I’ve heard of quite a few trans women who HAD legally changed their names and were still misgendered by the police and the press after being murdered or committing suicide, because they hadn’t had genital surgery.
