6/5/13, 8:30 PM UPDATE: I’ve spoken with Senior Vice President of Communications at SiriusXM and they have made it clear that they don not support the comments of the Lex and Terry show and have taken steps, via an official statement (see below), to distance SiriusXM from the show.

A Shezow Game: Spot the TERF!

Horror of horrors: there’s a cartoon wherein a boy puts on a ring that dresses him up like a female superhero. You just know that’s going to bring out the Right Wing/TERF fringe to proclaim that this show signals… Here’s some reactions. I’ve taken these comments from a well-known right wing blog and a well-known […]

Responding To: Is It Wrong to Perform at Michfest?

At its core, Thompson’s argument — and Vogel’s — is essentially based on gender identity and socialization. It contends that being assigned female at birth is a life experience that differs from that of being assigned male. “The internal struggles and social pressures are different,” says Thompson. “We live in a patriarchy.

My Exchange with the Southern Poverty Law Center

  The trans community has asked itself recently why the supposed watchdog of extremist hate-groups – The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) – has historically given Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) a pass.

Instead of being an emotional adult about their situation, they instead […]

#RadFem2013 Lies and the London Irish Centre

For the second year in a row, the RadFem hate conference  has been booted from their venue. For the second year in a row, the RadFem hate leadership is claiming to be victims of a conspiracy. Last year is was a transgender conspiracy and this year it’s a so-called “Men’s Rights” conspiracy: Here’s why the RadFem’s claim […]

Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival

Most of the Womyn that come to fest really don’t care whether you’re straight or not as long as your not trans. – D.M., Festival Supporter, July 4, 2012 It’s been 23 years since the MWMF became a symbol of all that’s wrong with cis-privilege and some might wonder why the fight to end cis/trans segregation at […]
