Best line of the day goes to D'Anne Witkowski over at PrideSource Blog:
Fuller alleges, if voters had known Bruce was a tranny, they'd never have voted for her. In fact, Fuller's attorney, in a bizarre logical leap, claims that by running as a woman, Bruce was able to curry unfair favor with Riverdale voters.
"It gives her an unfair advantage," attorney Michael King told the Associated Press. "It's not just sour grapes. The people need to know whether the election is ... Read More

I was amused and quite glad to find out that the Logo Network and Calpernia Addams have decided to take the Fox’s “Something About Miriam” dissaster format and turn it into a positive.
From Perez Hilton:
MTV’s GLBT channel, Logo, will be airing a reality dating show starring a transgender woman as the lead!
Transamerican Love Story is [...]

I tend to expect that Heart over at Women’s Spaces/The Margins to come unhinged by the transgender community. Her recent diatribe about transgender people:
My gut, experience, knowledge tell me that the group of persons which will receive the absolute least sympathy and concern is female persons. We are trafficked, prostituted, enslaved, raped, all of the [...]
I tend to expect that Heart over at Women's Spaces/The Margins to come unhinged by the transgender community. Her recent diatribe about transgender people:
My gut, experience, knowledge tell me that the group of persons which will receive the absolute least sympathy and concern is female persons. We are trafficked, prostituted, enslaved, raped, all of the time by all sorts of men, ho hum, no big deal. But if it’s a boy or a transgender person, suddenly that’s a whole nother level.

Just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here. I know I haven’t posted recently, for the following reasons:
1. I got a nasty virus that infected everything PC wise…both my network computers, both my ipods… just about anything that could be infected. I’ve switched over to Linux (Xubuntu to be exact), and I couldn’t be [...]
Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still here. I know I haven't posted recently, for the following reasons:
1. I got a nasty virus that infected everything PC wise...both my network computers, both my ipods... just about anything that could be infected. I've switched over to Linux (Xubuntu to be exact), and I couldn't be happier.
2. I've been trying to deal with the fall out from my "What Next' post. I've been called nothing short of a shill for the Human Rights ... Read More
