Well, TS Separatists have warned us for years that progress will never be seen under the rubric of the transgender borg. The time has come for me to admit that the Separatists were right about it all! I’m so ashamed! After all of this time and effort… we’ve changed nothing… nada. We’ve made no progress at all! They were right […]
This is Part II of a 5-part series designed to highlight the similarities in the rhetorical tactics commonly used by both Separatists and Fundamentalists. While a Fundie might say that “If gay marriage is legal, America will have hurricanes in the future,” this series reviews some of the ways in which Separatists have claimed that […]
While I’ve noted the similarities between Separatism and Fundamentalism before, I wanted to point out yet another similarity between the groups: unsubstantiated prognostications of DOOOOM… unless the masses repent. This is my first of a 5-part pwnage of the top 5 failed Separatist predictions of doom. Let’s get started! Failed Forcast of Doom #1: IRS Deductions Remember […]
There’s nothing wrong with being colorful when demolishing a falsehood and there’s nothing wrong with robust and vigorous debate… in fact, there’s everything right about that process.

Post-trans […]
Protections will allow men to dress as women “… in order to perpetrate crimes of homicide, rape, robbery [and] assault…” Sound familiar? It sounds like the arguments of TS Separatism and Religious Fundamentalists, doesn’t it? Actually, this quote is 40 years old and comes from a pamphlet published by a religious fundamentalist group campaigning against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). While this […]
This post is a collection of randomness that didn’t warrant its own post; so, I thought I’d lump it all together here… Dana Lane Taylor took down her site after I issued my challenge: After defending the show, ABC’s Work It was canceled and replaced with reruns. . Some YouTube comments I’ve gotten this week: “oh my god fuckin freaks, […]
Today I thought I’d help you better understand how separatist rhetoric sounds to my ears via a goofy metaphor. For me, listening to Separatist logic is a bit like dealing with someone who might assert that grouping apples and oranges together under the category of “round fruit” is wrong because apples are red. *Takes off my Inclusionist hat and […]
