Time to Move On

Guest post by Leigh…

Some time back, SA-ET announced she had no dog in this race. Since then the dogs have multiplied, and the fighting has become very personal, very personal.

Now I am not referring to those on the outside, that’s pretty much expected. Since being banned at Pam’s House Blend, certain information that was specific to my account has been…shall we say leaked. The usual suspects are top of the list on that, but suffice to say that Pam’s House Blend is not a trustworthy site in my opinion. It’s ironic isn’t it that those that will control us and include us against our will, those that piss and moan about the rights of everyone, that holds the rights they seek is justice for all, would turn around and leak personal information. I know it leaked from them because I have separate email addresses specific to those types of sites, all unique.  But hey, it’s nothing new.  They are an unscrupulous bunch to start with, and they have pretty much shown over the years that they will use every dirty trick in the book against us, against our government and against society as a whole to get their way.  I personally hope they never get their way. Some amongst us say they deserve all the rights they want. I say they deserve nothing!

This

…was very, very well said,

...lines up with everything I ever saw going all the way back to 1969

…is something many of us have been saying for years and years

…and, yet, is denied by the newbie transgender and activists who know no better.

More Sailboat

The boat is finished…kinda.  OK…it’s not finished.  But, let’s say finished enough to where the end is at least in sight…finally.  It’s been a long four or five months.

All of the interior wood that was removed has been finished.  Virtually all of the interior that had to be fabricated has been built and also finished.  Last weekend we cleaned everything in the boat out and I started sanding the interior woodwork.  Much of the sanding had to be done by hand and flat wore me out.  Yesterday, I finished the sanding, and vacuumed up most of the dust.  Today, as soon as it warms up a bit, I will complete all of the interior sanding, give the entire boat another vacuum, and then wipe down everything first with 409 and then, on the wood, mineral spirits.  If everything goes well, the first two (of five) coats of polyurethane will go on tomorrow.  It’s sunny this morning and should be perfect for finishing for the next few days.

Privilege and Entitlement

In its simplest form, privilege is a special advantage one might have.  For example, if one has economical privilege they have a special advantage over someone who is monetarily poor.  The concept of privilege is all the rage now days.    It seems like everyone is weighing in with an opinion so I thought I’d give you all mine.

Right off the battybattybat the question must be asked:

What’s wrong with privilege?

I have an easy answer for that:

Nothing!

The Silly Ignorant Things Transgenders Say – 1

Sometimes I’m just floored by the silly and ignorant things the transgender come up with.  I thought it about time that we publish them.  So, every now and again I’ll highlight…The Silly Ignorant Things Transgenders Say:

SILLY…

From Dysonance in “Really long post cause I gotta”:

“So all trans people are gay, and all gay people are trans.”

“Not a good thought to many, but, again, they don’t have a choice in the matter. Until they can deal with that, and, more specifically, the reasons why that is the case, they will always have problems, both within themselves and with the society at large they are part of.”

 

IGNORANT…

From Autumn Sandeen in “Fact-checking Some Memes Regarding Transsexual People and Transgender Community”:

“Well, many (if not most) these true transsexul women believe that late transitioning transsexual people, non-operative transsexual people, many-if-not-all pre-operative transsexual people, genderqueer people, drag performers, and crossdressers are fetishists.”

Spot the Loony!

Guest Post by Leigh Smith. Ms. Smith was recently banned by Pam’s House Blend.  She has indicated that this is partially satirical and only meant to point out the inequities and absurdities that lace the transgender and those who sometime comment on the mainstream GLBT blogs. The author of this article fully recognizes that not all mental disorders effect judgment. It is written in the spirit of Monty Python…who were not subject to the political correctness of todays world.

And welcome to…SPOT THE LOONEY…

where once again we invite you to come with us all over the world to meet all kinds of people in all kinds of places, and then ask you to…Spot the Looney!

So went the words of Eric Idle in the hugely popular show Monty Python’s Flying Circus as he introduced the latest contestants to the comedy skit entitled Spot the Looney.

One would have to wonder if Monty Python were still making skits today, what they would have to say about the Loonys of the transgender movement. One thing is for sure, many of the parts played by Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and Michael Palin when they performed their female parodies came off more believable than some of the leading characters in today’s transgender movement.

Rot on the Vine

Every now and again, like everyone else I suppose, I have an ah ha moment.  You all know what I mean.  An instance where one is struck by the obvious.

Well, this afternoon, I kinda-sorta had one of those while reading the comments over at Pam’s House Blend entitled Why Transgender Activists.

The issue is quite simple really and based on just three points:

My Take on Autumn Sandeen’s Ashley Love Expose’

An early transitioner friend of mine in Colorado once said, when responding to a transgender in a chat room once:

“You can identify as a rutabaga if you want to, but that doesn’t mean you are one.”

That pretty much sums up the plight of the transgender.

Over a year or so ago, I vowed not to get into defining who was what in the gender debate.  I may have slipped from time to time but I’d like to think for the most part I’ve kept my promise.  Either way, the truth is I really don’t care what some identify as.  If some bi-gendered (whatever that is), crossdressing Goth from Australia wants to call themselves a female that’s fine with me.  I don’t misgender people and don’t allow it here on my blog.  The caveat, however, is that I don’t misgender anyone who is transgender out of simple common courtesy, not by a long shot, because I actually think of them, or perceive of them, to be the actual sex/gender they claim to be.

Recently, as most of you know, Autumn Sandeen, a front page blogger with Pam’s House Blend posted a series of four posts about Ashley Love of Trans Forming Media (TFM).  You can read them HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.  The gist of these posts, in my opinion, was for Autumn to respond in a vendetta like way to Ms. Love’s positions and, specifically, to this essay on TFM entitled, Trans Activist ‘Sky’ Exposes Autumn Sandeen’s “LGB Appropriation” of Transsexual and Intersex Issues…the lead up to the piece stating:
 

“Noted trans activist, ‘Sky’, calls out Autumn Sandeen (transgender blogger employed by Gay Inc.) to stop appropriating trans issues to support the gay and lesbian establishment who are employing her to do so.”

Whether Autumn is actually getting paid for her employment is immaterial; the point is that she is a front page blogger for a major GBL and sometimes T blog.

Long Time Coming

In the matter of Ashley Love and Autumn Sandeen, all I can say is that this is a long time coming…and I hope it continues.

Many have been following the so-called “expose” that Autumn Sandeen is publishing on Pam’s House Blend about Ashely Love…specifically about Ashley Love’s defamation of the transgender.

Parts one, two, and three of the series can be seen HERE, HERE, and HERE if you haven’t and are inclined to do so.  And, if you are inclined to read this series, I very much encourage you all to comment on the threads.  The series is noteworthy for the comments that have been made not only from those whose view on the transgender are virtually the same as Ms Love’s and, for that matter, my views as well…but from others held captive by the transgender umbrella of whose names I’ve never heard of.  The comment threads are full of those who see things the same as many of us do with regards to the transgender.  If one clicks on the links above they can read the entire essays and comments, but I’d like to pull a Zoe and post what I had to say.  My comments, by essay, are below, along with any replies to them that may have been made.
