Squash Trans Hate For The 2013 Holidays!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas People!

Remember last month when I posted about the Change.org petition to get the TERF flavored Gender Identity Watch declared by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate site?    It hit its modest inital goal of 1000 signatures within hours.

The petition is now up to 6,024 signatures at the time I created this post, so let's have some fun this holiday season squashing trans hate for the holidays and seeing if we can get that to 10,000 signatures before Christmas Day.    And yes, international trans peeps, you too can join in on the fun!

Here's the link to the Change.org petition. 

So SPLC, When Are You Going To Declare The TERF's A Hate Group?

And how many more Black and Latina trans women have to die before you do so? 

How many more transpeople have to suffer from anti-trans discrimination before you step up to the plate and do what you should have done years ago?

How much more hate speech do they have to publish online at RadFem Hub and Gender Trender before you call them on it? 

You have four decades worth of evidence that point out the TERF's are a hate group. Even Stevie Wonder can see they are a hate group.  The trans community who is deleteriously affected by their rabid hate damned sure knows it.  So why haven't you as the FBI's go to watchdog group for keeping an eye on the extremist ones in this country not done your due diligence on trans exterminationalist exclusionary radical feminism?

Your continued inaction and silence on this issue only lends credence to the belief in Trans World that you have a TERF (or TERF's) embedded in your organization that is keeping such a declaration from happening or you simply don't care.

Which statement is true?   Inquiring trans minds and our allies wanna know.

Because SPLC, so far all we're getting from you right now on the subject is this.

And that's unacceptable.

Cristan's Conversation With SPLC About The TERF's

I've been saying for years that the Trans Exterminationalist Radical Feminists (TERF's) qualify as a hate group and needed to labeled as such by the Southern Poverty Law Center. 

I've wondered aloud along with many people in the trans community why the Southern Poverty Law Center, the major watchdog group shining a spotlight on hate groups in the United States, declared the Men's Rights Movement last year as a hate group, but so far have yet to declare TERF's with their four decades old paper and electronic trail of reprehensible oppressive and transphobic actions as one.

The SPLC is listed as a resource in the FBI web page on hate crimes, so what's up with why an organization that is considered an authoritative one by the FBI on hate groups has not only yet to declare the TERF's as one, but interviewed the Queen Bug of TERFism in their intelligence report slamming the Men's Rights Movement?   

And just in case you have any doubts about what the FBI considers anti-trans hate, from page 17 of the FBI’s Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual.

When crimes are committed against people based on sexual orientation or gender identity, epithets often reveal the motive for the attack. Typical gender identity-related epithets and terms include: “he-she,” “she-male,” “tranny,” “it,” and “transvestite.” Also, the terms “cross dresser” and “drag queen” may be used in a hateful way, even though some individuals may self-identify with these terms. It is common for perpetrators of anti-transgender hate crimes to attack the victim after learning the victim is transgender. -

Well, Cristan Williams has been pondering that question as well and decided to have a little chat with the folks at SPLC about that.   She details the series of conversations starting on April 23 she had with them in this blog post.
