Once upon a time, a group of dogs decided they needed more numbers  to build dog solidarity.  They decided to make dog an umbrella term to include cats, ferrets and other mammals who were the companions of humans.  The cats, being cats, largely ignored this and went on about their cat business, as cats are wont to do.  “No one could possibly mistake us for dogs,” the cats decided.  “After all, we don’t bite strangers, pee on trees, bark all night, nor leave huge piles of poo in the neighbor’s yard.”
 
Now the humans passed leash laws to keep the annoyance of other’s dogs under some sort of control, while the cats were pretty much free to roam as they always had.  But one day the humans heard the dogs claim that
all  companion mammals were actually dogs and tried to enforce the leash laws on the cats as well.  The cats decided this had gone too far and began to speak up.  “We are NOT dogs, we are CATS!” they declared. The dogs responded by beating up on and chasing up trees every cat that said this.  When the cats asked why, the dogs said that any cat that denied being a dog under the umbrella was insulting the dog-ness of all dogs.  They said that cats, in claiming separate cat-ness, were putting on airs of superiority over dogs when they were actually dogs to begin with.  Any declaration of cathood was an automatic insult to all companion animals everywhere…particularly dogs, they said; cats must wear the leashes in dog solidarity and must never again be allowed to roam freely as they always had…

Does this sound ridiculous?

If so, why are you buying the same garbage from transgenders?

THE PETITION. Set the cats free.

This morning, I posted a link to my essay that linked to THE PETITION at Pam’s House Blend.  It was at the piece entitled  Shhhh – The Word  is Pam’s Keeping a House Tranny.  Autumn Sandeen promptly deleted it…citing a Terms of Service (TOS) violation.  So…I ran a quick search using PHB’s own search feature.  Within a few minutes I found the following links to these petitions:

This essay was originally published on Catkisser’s blog,  Riding the Second Wave.  It is a response and comment on a piece written by Autumn Sandeen at  Pam’s House Blend entitled  Sssh — The Word Is That Pam’s Keeping a House Tranny.  Sandeen’s piece is an attempt to justify the silencing of Cathryn Platine.  Cross posted with permission.

I have avoided actual return fire for the assault Sandeen made on me at Pam’s House Blend, but let’s just take stock of what has been done.

First:  The intent to cause me personal harm is pretty damn clear.  Nowhere on this blog (Riding the Second Wave) do I mention my own name or have an image of me.  Sandeen sought out a copyright covered picture of me and used my entire name in the smear on Pam’s.  The place she got that picture from used it with permission, literally the only time I have ever given permission to use an image of me.  Since I have reported many times that over the years my life has been sujected to credible death threats by transgenders along with wholesale attempts to destroy my life in the form of harassment, out and out acts of terrorism – as defined by law – and even falsely reporting me to Homeland Security as a terrorist, I think I am within reason to believe Sandeen did this to further threaten my well being.  At the least it violates copyright laws and puts Pam’s and Sandeen at legal risk.

“Acknowledging up front that race is a social construct and putting that aside for the moment…”  
That’s what at least one of the GLBT libertines think…one whose opinion is evidently quite valued.  Gender is already in the sights of the GLBT libertines who wish to destroy the male-female binary.  Now it’s race which is assaulted. 
 
I wonder what the next deconstruction will be.  How about kites?  Maybe dogs and cats?  Or perhaps automobiles?  Barbeque pits?  Trees?  Molecular biology?  Who knows?   
Is Race…gender…a social construct?
 
Hardly…but if you want a social construct I’ve got one for you?

ROFLMAO…those craaaaaaaaaaaazy trannies.

The TG meltdown continues as the primadonnas battle it out. It’s complete with all your favorite “transgender” buzz words… elitist…classist…privileged… oppression…internalized… demeaning…the list goes on. The war was of all things based on an essay about controlling one’s anger written by Donna Rose.

Read this from Pam’s House Blend… 

The article revolves around a gay bar in Dallas making the decision not to let drag queens in their establishment on Tuesday nights because of their outlandish behavior.  Predictably the tired cries of discrimination rise to the occasion.  But that is not the telling point.  Consider these comments:

First off, drag and T are different critters altogether (TechBear) 

And that difference would be what?  The height of their hair?  The width of their eyeliner?  The frequency they use some derivation of phobic…or loathe?  How often they visit gay bars?  How ultra feminine their name is?

Has the T in GLBT reached a stage of MELTDOWN? 

Apparently it has.  Everybody but the T knew it was coming. 

Donna Rose wrote a piece on THE DonnaBlog today which she calls Too Much Poison, KMA.  The piece revolves around an article Marti Abernathey posted at The Bilerico Project over the weekend entitled HRC’s Project Win Back, Part II, a piece that Ms. Rose characterizes as a “…pleasant little article.”  I say “revolves around” because her essay is not aimed at what Ms. Abernathey wrote, but the comments on it by Bilerico’s readers.  You can read Marti’s post and comments HERE

(Note to Donna:  Marti doesn’t spell her name Abernathy, but Abernathey; she’s a bit testy about how her name is spelled.  She has told me before that anyone who can’t spell her name correctly is pretty dumb and not really worth responding to.) 

Donna Rose once again takes aim at Monica Helms specifically…others, generally.  Actually, it seems a lot of people take aim at Monica Helms.  Aside from blogging like a sailor, Monica is a pretty easy target.  She is a small fish in a small pond that evidently thinks the more acerbic she is and the more she curses, the more stature she can achieve and move up the food chain.  Consider this comment by Monica…and the responses:

Anyone who has tried to reason with the transgender by posting a comment on a blog knows that their debate is always based on insults, shout downs, and general bullying.  When all else fails, one’s comment is either censored, based on the post violating the blog’s Terms of Service, or at times, banned. 

I just received this from Cathryn Platine, a woman of transsexual history, who is a stalwart of our movement to disassociate from the transgender umbrella.  She told me:

Are you are disgusted and fed up with being included under the transgender umbrella?

Last night, I came across a piece on ENDAblog that referenced a lesbian oriented online magazine (GO Magazine) article called 100 Women We Love 2008.  The article on ENDAblog was critical of the GO piece because there was only one “trans” person on the list.  I followed links and came across a piece at Pam’s House Blend predictably titled 100 Transpeople We Love 2008.  It seems that if the lesbians won’t include more “trans” people on their list, the “trans” people will form their own list. 

Nah nah nah nah naaaaah nah…

At the time I read the article at PHB, the contributors only had a dozen or so names for their own list.  As with most of the things I read in blogs, it’s not the essays but the comments that are the most telling.  As the article solicits the readers to come up with “trans” people whom they admire (love), once again, Monica Helms steps up to the plate, all emphasis mine:
