It Gets Better-Andii Viveros

She refers to herself by her soon to be old male name since the name change is reportedly in the works to Andrea, but Florida's first trans prom queen Andii Viveros  does an It Gets Better video.

Long Wait For His Surgery

It's nice for me to get to post something about a transman on this blog.  

In 1972 Juani Santos was diagnosed as the first transman in Cuba.   It took 40 years of struggling with anti trans prejudice from family and friends and waiting for the Cuban government to resume doing SRS surgeries, but at age 61  Santos finally got it. 

The first Cuban SRS surgery took place in 1988, but after heated criticism the health ministry stopped using public funds for the program.   The program resumed in 2008 at the insistence of noted psychologist, sexologist and head of CENESEX Mariela Castro Espin. daughter of Cuban President Raul Castro..

He's had a long wait, but hope our transbrother lives a happy rest of his life  

Liberal Is Something To Be Proud Of-Not Ashamed Of

If you call me a 'bleeding heart liberal', I'll smile at you and say thanks, especially if it's coming from a conservafool that misguidedly thinks I'm ashamed to be called a liberal.

This is from the TV drama The West Wing, but Jimmy Smits character is on the money as to why we liberals should take the word back and rub it in the conservafools faces.  

It Gets Better-Janet Mock

Camille Paglia Transphobic Rant On Chaz Bono

Y'all wanna know why I have problems with elements of feminism, and especially the virulently transphobic ones holding on to their disco era hatred?

This is one reason why.   Check out this video of Camille Paglia hatin' on and misgendering Chaz Bono

Canadian Election 2011 Update 2-The Leaders Debate

The May 2 Canadian federal elections are fast approaching, and the jockeying between the major parties is getting hot and heavy as the Conservatives, Liberals, BQ and NDP continue their Drive For 155..  

The first debate between the major party leaders happened Tuesday night and it was contentious and fun to watch.   I found the YouTube video for it, so have fun political junkies.

Whoopi calls out Donald Trump on his (ho hum) pandering to the birthers.

George, You Still Owe Wendy An Apology

Especially in light of the fact she has been a guest on your show.



So, when are you going to say 'I'm sorry' to her for the transphobic slur you aimed at her in your routine?

In Defense Of Teachers

Another one of the reasons I despise conservafools and the GOP is because as a proud card carrying TK (teacher's kid) I despise the decades long attacks on the teaching profession and teacher's unions by the conservafool movement.

Had to post this video which is probably the most vigorous defense of teachers you'll hear this year.
