The tumblrs I was reading were very much stating that there was no such thing as a cis self-defined trans* ally.

If I am not real, can this damn headache also not be real, please? I mean, if Tumblrs are going to re-define me away, my headache can go, too.

And there seems to be an ongoing battle on tumblr between trans* women and radical feminists.

That shit is UGLY. I'm pretty damned feminist, but the shit radfems say about trans* women makes me ashamed to even claim to be a feminist of any stripe. DAMN.

t this has been your Steph-posts-about-trans*-stuff moment for today

I just started a moving to-do list, which included the item "cull misc. crap." Oh dear.

Transethnicity? Srsly??

Chaz is however he wants to identify. Many trans guys who are still attracted to women do ID as straight, because hey, hes a guy who likes girls. Others choose to say queer so as to align themselves more with the larger queer community. Depends on the person--and not something anyone besides him would be able to say.

Bambi was the first step towards the apocalypse:

What I particularly like about the story as that this guy, I assume he's a Christian, apparently thinks that when the Creator goes head to head against a fictional baby deer, GOD LOSES.

That guy's picture clearly indicates he wants to eat my face, no bath salting required.

He's fetishizing death as we speak, there's no doubt about that.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Frank!

Back from the con. I'm tired and feeling achy. Bleh.

You make a good point bt. How can someone's belief in God be so vociferous and yet so tenuous?

Two thousand years of Christianity undone by the sympathetic portrayal of one animated deer.

Huff Po had a slideshow of prominent gay people who've come out and Chaz surprised me, because he's done his fair amount of revealing he's queer, I suppose, but everything I've read portrayed him as straight.

I'm going to choose the belief that transethnicity is a big old joke some people are pulling on Social Justice zealots, because the alternative is unthinkable. And some people really do need poking at (Don't be an SJ Sally, be an SJ ally!---there's an entire meme (what do you call the genre of meme that Fuck Yeah Art Student Owl belongs to, with the clipart in front of the multi coloured background?

Anyway, I just went through pages and pages of someone who'd evidently gone off the deep end trying to poke back at SJ people overdoing it. And, good lord, they took *everything* seriously. Like the people they're trying to rile up.

GODDAMN! I cannot work out where I put my fucking meds.

Let me eat dinner and try and relax and work out what the hell I did...I have the sense memory of opening the bag and dumping the packaging. Maybe if I work out where I tossed that I can work from there....

Oh, on the list of things I don't believe--Miriam Margolyes' daft biddy schtick. She's sitting next to Will.I.am and playing up the doddering-I-don't-know-any-black-people-but-you-sound-cute act, and it is really pretty stupid. Nobody's gran is like that. She's younger than my parents, for fuck's sake. Whose ass has she had her head stuck up her whole life? This isn't great-gran-only-remembers-the-first-war cuteness. She's a grown woman in the public eye who's had every opportunity to be exposed to cultural diversity, or even cultural homogeneity with all those darkies in old Blighty, from before she was born, even.

And now she's cooing that she's a lesbian. Ooh, adorFUCK IT.

I got the motts so badly I couldn't watch it. I tried because Adam Lambert was going to be on and he's amusing as hell but oh, the motts. I deleted it from my dvr. Which is weird because she's usually amusing to me and not uncomfortable and really creepy offensive.
