And So, Exterminationist Radphlegm TERFs Get to Cheer Once More

They expect we’ll be shocked to see statistics about them being killed, and don’t realize, some of us wish they would ALL be dead.

– Bev Jo, exterminationist transphobe

A death for the exterminationists to get orgasmic over:

26 year old Eyricka Morgan was fatally stabbed Tuesday night in a boarding house in New Brunswick, NJ.

But, of course, the reporting of the murder read as if it was written by a TERF.  Per Monica Roberts:

Once again a dead African-American transwoman has been misgendered in the media because Sue Epstein, the Star-Ledger reporter in question either failed to do her job or as I suspect, the New Brunswick Po-Po’s information officers misidentified and misgendered Ms. Morgan for whatever reason.

Epstein is an exterminationist transphobe TERF.

How do I know that?

I don’t.

But if Sue Epstein gets to pick dead Eyricka Morgan’s name and gender, then we who live get to pick the reason that Epstein did it.

That’s only fair, eh?

“You might be a TERF if…”

…you read Cristan’s latest posting at TransAdvocate and all 20 criteria apply to you yet you pretend you’re not a bigot or an exterminationist.

I don’t know anyone who got rich being a gay activist
– John Aravosis, on July 25, 2013, saying that he’s “had just about enough of the term ‘elite gays'”

Apparently, The John doesn’t know anyone at HRC:

Another year, another posting of the Human Rights Campaign’s annual 990′s to the IRS in which it discloses its obscene salaries for the non-profits  top employee’s.

Read it and shake your head with disgust and weep. All that money and STILL they have unpaid interns.

THIS is where your donation dollars go.

$2,873,400…

And not a penny of it taken home by a trans person.

Elite gays exist are destroying the movement by immorally enriching themselves while ensuring that no trans women are ever able to earn a living doing actual, relevant work (that most – even with ample advocacy and/or lawyering experience, would be willing to do for 1/4 or even less of the lowest of those disgusting salaries) within Gay, Inc.

There, I said it.

Because No One Else is Eeeeeeeeeeeever on the Short End of Propaganda

…certainly not trans women, right?

Remember the pseudo-academic (and likely closet TERF) complaint about all of the big, bad, establishment-accepted, discrimination-free trans women who (rightly) said that one need not even open the radioactively transphobic cover of Michael Bailey’s fraudulent nugget o’ ‘science,’ The Man Who Would be Queen?

Well, here is the latest example of something that can (rightly) be ripped to shreds without going beyond the title.

From HuffPo:

I have no idea what he says in the body of the piece and I don’t care.  (See anything B or T specific in the ‘follow’ glob?  I didn’t think so.)

The LGBT Community needs to confront anti-gay propaganda?

Welcome to Gay, Inc.-ism 201: The Erasure Shuffle!

Nice trick – but getting away with it ends here.

The title is the exact opposite of what needs to be transpiring.  It is those elements of ‘LGBT’ who have overly-benefited from the unjustifiably skewed 21st century priorities of Gay, Inc. who should be tearing out their pockets to support measures and programs which confront anti-trans propaganda…

including trans-movement-suicidal ramblings of some clueless Ts.

There, I said it.

The authority of the first judge to get a trans case who decides to issue a ruling that the EEOC’s trans-inclusive interpretation of Title VII was wrong.

Now that may be a bit overly cynical even for me; plenty of judges have been ruling in that general direction and those rulings helped nudge the EEOC toward its pro-trans ruling…

but nine who sit in D.C. have yet to do so.

Their authority (actually, just 5/9ths of their authority) exceeds Title VII if they want it to…

just as the EEOC’s can – when next a not-so-enlightened EEOC panel decides to ‘revisit’ the Macy decision…

you know, as soon as the next Republican president gets to make some appointments to the Commission…

which, if the current crop o’ “Why do we need to bother with ENDA when we can be spending our time, energy and money erecting altars to rich, trans charlatans and quislings?”-meisters have their way, will occur while statutory law – you know, law that an administrative body can’t rewrite on its own – contains a gay-only ENDA.

It is factually accurate to state that the EEOC interpreted “sex” in Title VII to include trans people.

It is a fact to say that that’s a good thing.

Of course, it is also a fact to state that one of the earliest federal appellate decisions to say that trans people were not included uner “sex,” Holloway v. Arthur Andersen & Co. (9th Cir. 1977), came to that conclusion in no small part because, even by 1977, Congress had rejected all of the Bella Abzug/Ed Koch-era bills to add “sexual orientation” to the Civil Rights Act – bills that, even had they become law, would not have – thanks to the Gay, Inc. of the day (same as it ever was – and is) – covered trans people – meaning that trans people have, in large part, Gay, Inc., to thank for the cobbling of the boot of anti-trans law that has so magnanimously just recently been quasi-removed from on top of our necks.

There, I said that too – because…

This is an important fact that all trans Americans need to know.

There is nothing in the Macy v. Holder decision that can’t be erased judicially and/or administratively without any of the overpaid, underworked non-trans people who are foerver allowed to earn their livings in Gay, Inc. (without, of course, ever having had to compete for their jobs against equally-/better-qualified trans applicants ) ever seeing it coming (mucg less having to even care) and without any of the oh-so-well-educated-on-trans-issues-by-all-of-those-non-trans-Gay-Inc-employees congresscritters ever having to take a position on it.

Macy v. Holder does exist.

It is useful.

It is substantive.

But it is also an illusion.

There, I said that too.

It is suicidal to crank out nonsense that seems to have emanated from the wet dreams of Gay, Inc. and TERFs (as if there is no substantive overlap, right?) who have never quite been able to get over the hump in their goal of completely sanitizing ENDA (you know, the desired gay-only successor to those Abzug-Koch gay-only Civil Rights Act amendment bills) of The Trans Stain™…

without getting a handful of overly-visible, lacking-in-legal-training, overflowing-with-self-importance trans clowns – and quislings, of course – to begin laying the groundwork for acceptance on behalf of a community (that they in no way shape or form represent) by ‘centrist’, ‘moderate’ ‘blah blah blah’ trans-oids of the ‘compromise’ of excluding trans people from ENDA yet again…

but this time forever.

The psychotic Republican Party of the 21st century can’t accomplish any of its treasonous, anti-LGBT, anti-anything-other-than-white, anti-woman goals without its token self-loathing blacks, its token self-loathing gays (I’m sure the search is on for a token self-loathing Republican T) and its stable of stable of legislative June-Cleavers-on-steroids to pollute the airwaves and political discourse in general by providing an illusion of non-uniform-white-male control for tele-consumption by the too-busy-earning-a-living-in-order-to-survive-masses-to-actually-pay-attention-to-how-fucked-up-things-really-are rabble…

and Gay, Inc. can’t accomplish its goal of sanitizing ENDA of The Trans Stain™ without help from a handful of well-placed trans people – some (all?) of whom perhaps are actually too stupid to realize that they are being used as fifth columns – who seem to be get off on conning their own people.

There, I said that too.

Doing the TERFs’ Work for Them: The Anencephalic One-Percenters of the Trans Community

Non-lawyer Sharon Brackett, self-evidently being possessed by the TERF of Towson:

The Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) is up for consideration in the U.S. Senate.  This time, unlike its stripped down 2007 predecessor, it includes not only gay and lesbian folk but trans folk too.  In fact any gender non-conforming persons would be covered under Title VII.  So what does ENDA add for trans persons?  Little.

“Rational T-hought”?

Clearly, ’tis neither.

…so, hopefully, it isn’t as hot now at Fenway Park as it was on the Sunday afternoon in June of last year when I went there with my buddy Ethan St. Pierre – and when I took this shot from the (did I mention it was hot?) right field cheap seats.

Those ‘Concerned Women’ Known as the Koch Brothers

From TPM:

An almost completely unknown group with strong ties to the Koch brothers has identified itself as the secret source of almost a quarter of a billion dollars received by conservative political groups in 2012.

The group, Freedom Partners, raised $256 million in the year following its creation in November 2011, and made grants totaling $236 million to conservative groups, according to Politico, which was shown a draft of an IRS document the group plans to file shortly.

…

The list of groups that benefited from Freedom Partners’ funding is a roster of conservative organizations large and small: $115 to the Center to Protect Patient Rights, $32.3 million to Americans for Prosperity, $15.7 million to the 60 Plus Association, $13.6 million to the American Future Fund, $8.2 million to the Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee….

Because if there is one thing that is even less connected to the consituency that it claims to represent than HRC or NCTE, its CWFA.

Any Bets as to Whether Cleveland Would Have a Problem With Repeated Calls Regarding Violence Against a Church?

From The Towle:

Last week we reported on a gay man beaten by a group of youths outside the Cocktails Lounge gay bar in Cleveland.

…

Now, Towleroad has obtained a copy of a letter written by the City of Cleveland to the bar’s owner Brian Lyons threatening him for calling the police 9 times.

No, not from The Onion, but really, truly and actually from Towleroad.

Yes, seriously:

How seriously?

Says the letter:

Re: Property located at 9208

Our records indicate from September 02, 2012 through September 01, 2013 Cleveland Police Officers and/or Dog warden have been dispatched and responded to your property located at 9208 Detroit Avenue inns for various Calls for service. Repeated calls to the same property place an and inappropriate burden on the taxpayers of the City of Cleveland and on our safety forces. The estimated cost for the city safety forces to respond to your property is approximately $100.00 per call for service.

l am confident that we share the same goal and that you will take the necessary steps to eliminate the repeated calls for police services to your property. Therefore, within 10 days of the date of this letter, you will be required to submit your action plan to the First District Neighborhood Police Commander (623-5105), outlining your strategy to eliminate the problems at this location.

Failure to address these issues, resulting in future calls for police service, will be scrutinized for appropriate administrative or law enforcement action.

Sincerely,

Martin L. Flask, Director Department of Public Safety

cc: Director of Law Michael McGrath, Chief, Division of Poke Councilperson lay Westbrook, Ward 16 Deputy Chief Field Operations, Division of Police 1. District Commander

That seriously.

Ohio – for when Alabama anti-LGBT repression just won’t do.

Gee…Gay, Inc. Insulting Average LGBT People? That NEVER Happens

…except when it does, which is more often than not.

Enter, the Gay, Inc. propaganda about why Christine Quinn lost.  As analyzed by Michelangelo Signorile:

[T]hose LGBT leaders of groups based in Washington, D.C., that raised lots of money for Quinn and are now lamenting her loss — and blaming LGBT New Yorkers for abandoning her — are insulting the well-informed, politically active LGBT voters of New York, and it will only cause further backlash against them if they continue. They’re also tone-deaf to the fact that the majority of LGBT people in this city, like the larger population, are people of color and have other priorities as well, including ending Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk policy, which became central in the campaign.

Re: the reasons that are filling the attempt by Gay, Inc. to manufacture an official, unchallengeable narrative of Quinn’s loss:

I’m certainly not saying that sexism and homophobia, and racism, for that matter, were not present in this or other elections. They’ll unfortunately be a staple in politics for a long time to come. But those are the cards we’re dealt: If you’re a woman or a member of a minority group, you have to be that much better than all the other candidates, unfair as that might be. And Christine Quinn just was not. If an out lesbian, Tammy Baldwin, can win a statewide Senate seat in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin amid homophobic invective in the race, an out lesbian can win the mayor’s race in New York if she captivates the voters and stirs passion in them. Christine Quinn did not.

Quinn bet on New Yorkers desiring continuity. She thought that being a woman and a lesbian was enough to give her street cred with progressives while she backed the status quo. But that didn’t cut it….

Its at this point that I somewhat wish that St. Barney had gotten into the campaign for John Kerry’s vacated Senate seat.  There would have been more than plenty ammo against the male St. Barney – both from inside and outside the LGBT community and outside, and none of the latter would have even needed to recycle a notorious Penis Infantry comment.  St. Barney, irrespective of anything he may have been in the Massachusetts Legislature and in his early days in Congress, became a worthless, Democratic machine hack (who had to have sold his soul to the machinery in order to keep from being expelled following the Stephen Gobie scandal); his transphobia was just a bonus for Gay, Inc.

Quinn, similarly, is a machine hack who didn’t have enough sense to realize that pretty much any and all non-whites (and a lot of whites as well) in NYC who got oe more opportunity to cast a vote influenced by the existence of the more-racist-than-St.-Barney-is-transphobic ‘stop and frisk’ policy just might possibly be willing cast a vote against a white woman (or man) who approved of the policy.

Buh-bye.

The other night I caught Keith Olbermann (damn its good to have him back, eh?) taking note of some bonehead play committed by Miami Marlins rookie Jake Marisnick.  I wasn’t even aware that Marisnick had gone from the Toronto Blue Jays organization to the Marlins organization, much less that he’d made it up to the majors.

Anyway, here’s something non-bonehead-ish from him – from the 2011 Midwest League All-Star Game at Davenport, Iowa – when he was with Toronto’s Class A affiliate, the Lansing Lugnuts.
