This is an old post, and I wasn't reading you...Wow. <BR/><BR/>This is an old post, and I wasn't reading your blog when this was originally posted, but I followed your link from <A HREF="http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-alc-weekend-in-dc.html" REL="nofollow">this</A> post. <BR/><BR/>And just, wow. <BR/><BR/>That's so incredibly awful, I don't even know what to say. As much as I know, rationally, how awful people can be, it still blows me away to see that kind of racist, egotistical, selfish, vile behavior from "our side." I know it happens all too often, but... really? Ugh.<BR/><BR/>I also wish Cynthia McKinney were still in Congress.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763620160985753254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-41330779722158021002007-10-20T21:03:00.000-05:002007-10-20T21:03:00.000-05:00Speaking as a caucasian trans woman, your story ma...Speaking as a caucasian trans woman, your story makes me angry. I mean, seriously, <EM>what the hell?</EM> I don't have words to properly express my reaction.<BR/><BR/>I had a sense that from various things I've heard that NCTE wasn't entirely trustworthy, but I had no idea that the founder had done something so horrible.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, the "selfish gay white male" steretype keeps outing itself as real people - Barney, Chris Crain, John Aravosis, and so on - all making it clear that the GLBT movement is about rights for them first and foremost.<BR/><BR/>I've also met MTFs like you describe - trying to build hierarchies and maintain privilege over other trans women , defining themselves into womanhood and everyone they hate out, or trying to control who we can say we are in general. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for posting this. It's good to know the kind of dealing that's happened in the past. And it's good to know that some of the stuff I've seen was real, and not (as I've managed to half convince myself a few times) something I imagined.Maddie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701960869234061244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-3368790054341084232007-10-16T02:54:00.000-05:002007-10-16T02:54:00.000-05:00It is so painful to hear this.

The strides that would have been made in that meeting, the understanding, the contacts, the chance for members of CONGRESS to meet with your group up close and personal, would have been invaluable. OMG! They don't see that kind of selfish, racist stupidity only hurts us all.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802989264619041023noreply@blogger.com
