Liberals - Y'all Need To Be Scarfing Up Girl Scout Cookies This Year

The conservafools have had their their hate on for the Girl Scouts since 2005 and are now taking it to unprecedented levels.  They have gone on their propaganda organ Fox to spread thir vitriol against them and have even threatened to boycott their annual cookie drive.

As I have implored people to do, since they have had our backs, the trans community's back and resisted the right wing idiocy, it's time for us liberal progressive peeps in 2012 to show them some love and have their backs when their annual Girl Scout Cookie drive starts.

If you think Moni's sellin' you woof tickets on that conservahate of the Girl Scouts, here's the scoop from Media Matters. 



To any Girl Scouts or their troop leaders reading this blog, I like shortbreads and Thin Mints and I'm looking to triple my order this year.  So e-mail a Girl Scout cookie loving sister and let me know where y'all gonna be selling them this year..

I Don't Hate WWBT's, I Hate Your Vanillacentric Doctrine

Over the weekend I actually tried to have a dialogue with a transsexual separatist on a Facebook trans group to find out for myself why they have their panties in a bunch over the transgender umbrella.  

The person I had the discussion with was one who had been kicked out of her home for being trans, admittedly had a sixth grade education and a hard life.  But that's no excuse for her obviously having a problem with award winning chocolate trans me being in this discussion. 

Despite me picking up on the bigotry in her comments, I tried to let it slide and attempted to focus on the discussion until she accused me of  'playing the race card'.   At that point I had enough of playing nice with her azz and dropped 50 megatons of knowledge on her behind.   She responded in typical WWBT fashion by tossing out the 'Moni is fixated on race' spin line, misgendering me and then when I called the person on her BS flee from the conversation while attempting to cry white women's tears .

As I've said and noted before in numerous posts about the TS separatists or as I call them the White Women Born Transsexual, they have a major problem with any transperson who doesn't think like they do or questions the genitalia=gender 'true transsexual' medical model.  

They especially have a problem if the transsexual who has a contrarian opinion is intelligent, non-white, proud of her heritage and is not going to bow down or stifle what she has to say in deference to them.

The fact that I am a longtime Trinity Award winning Black trans leader making the same arguments many of my white trans counterparts do with an Afrocentric twist in favor of an inclusive and expansive transgender umbrella and definition of transsexual makes it too damn easy for white TSers to revert to their old vanillacentric bag of silencing tricks and attempt to dismiss what I have to say.

They claim I hate then, attempt to use conservafool projection tactics to hide the bigotry and vanillacentric privilege, 'mud slinging' or try to paint me as 'angry'.  Every time I try to reach out individually to some of them it results in transsexual separatists disrespecting me, silencing attempts, outright racist slurs and bigotry aimed at me.  They also like to deploy a new trick they picked up in trying to use the 'white women's tears' gambit.   

As we say in the Lone Star State, that dog won't hunt.

As I said in that long ongoing thread, I'm not 'throwing around a card'. I'm speaking truth about my chocolate trans life and you refuse to hear it.  I get tired as a POC transperson of having that charge leveled at me in mixed racial company discussions because my truth does not and will not always neatly line up with yours because of the reality that my trans experience is filtered through the prism of me growing up Black in America.

And some of y'all can't handle that truth.

Race and class and the inequalities they cause exist in trans world along with white privilege and only a fool would deny that reality.

While having discussions about labels that affect all of us in the trans community, it is illogical to have a discussion that attempts to reimage any term applicable to the overall transgender community without having non-white transpeople and our leaders front and center in that discussion especially in light of the fact it has been POC transpeople's blood that has disproportionately been shed in this march for trans human rights.  

Some of those leaders that we in POC trans communities choose to take part in those discussions will not be palatable to you, but that's your problem, not ours.  

News flash:  In the second decade of the 21st century trans POC's have the talent, education and ability to hold thought leadership positions in this community.  You don't like that new paradigm, too damned bad.

Translation: to break it down for you WWBT's the discussions about trans labels that impact all of our lives as ttranspeople isn't going to be a whites-only party and y'all need to get over it..

I'm making it abundantly clear where I stand and you can run tell that to the rest of WWBT World and your radical lesbian separatist allies like the Exterminationalist Twins where I stand.

I hate your WWBT doctrine, the racist memes you're pushing, and the failure to realize that transpeople have 'been there done that' when it comes to the medical model.  It didn't work from the 1950's to the 1980's and it damned sure isn't going to work in the 2K10's.

I don't hate you TS separatists individually, I despise your selfish vanillacentric doctrine. 

I have to ask the question once again.  If you hate the transgender label and the community that has been coalescing and evolving around it, why stay in a community you loudly hate since you're women now? 

You are free to leave, adhere to the failed medical model of transsexuality and go on your quixotic mission of chasing pseudo-cisgender status. 

What I'm saying about you are some of the same things we've been saying in the Black Trans Revolution Will Not Be Televised discussions we in chocolate transworld have been having for years about TS separatism. I'm just the one who is in the position and ain't 'scurred' to bring that hard dose of reality to your behinds in living color, pun intended.

And you and your separatist buds can hate that all you want.

I don't hate WWBT's, I hate your vanillacentric exclusionary doctrine you're trying to pimp.

Public Accommodations Language For Dummies

For the people who are confused by the right wing, Barney Frank, WWBT and Exterminationalist Twins rhetoric and obfuscation about Public Accommodations language, let me direct your attention to this wonderfully succinct explanation of it by one of my fave men in this community, Ethan St Pierre.

Trans Civil Rights School is now in session, so take your seats so y'all can learn something.  

Take it away, Ethan!

For the people who think Public Accommodations means bathroom and locker rooms, here is your awakening:

The following private entities are considered public accommodations for purposes of this subchapter, if the operations of such entities affect commerce—
(A) an inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a building that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that is actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as the residence of such proprietor;
(B) a restaurant, bar, or other establishment serving food or drink;
(C) a motion picture house, theater, concert hall, stadium, or other place of exhibition or entertainment;
(D) an auditorium, convention center, lecture hall, or other place of public gathering;
(E) a bakery, grocery store, clothing store, hardware store, shopping center, or other sales or rental establishment;

Now class, what did we learn today about Public Accommodations language? 

As you can see, PA language in civil rights bills is more than just bathrooms and showers.  I fail to understand why a few well to do white GLBT activists seem to have the deluded notion that you can pass effective trans rights bills without it. 

Oh yeah, maybe it's because their azzes never had to worry about facing any kind of bigotry, hate violence or discrimination directed at them until they became members of a despised minority in the rainbow community. 

So the next time y'all read about me putting people on blast on this blog or hear Moni go on the rant on a radio show or podcast about an unjust trans rights bill that doesn't have Public Accommodations language in it, you'll know why I went straight the hell off. 

Heaven help you if we're in a public forum and I hear someone with vanilla scented privilege who enjoys civil rights laws with PA language in them try to argue that PA language is not necessary for trans human rights laws or the proposed ENDA.  Don't be surprised when I look at you as if you're stuck on stupid, then call your behind out for parting your lips to say it.

Class dismissed.
