One Year Until London 2012

One year from today's date, we will witness the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.  It will be the first time since 1948 that the city has hosted the Games and the third time it has done so.  


After over 10,000 athletes parade into the Olympic stadium in alphabetical order with the Greeks going first and the host nation Great Britain last, we'll witness the torch lighting ceremony.   Ever since Barcelona used an archer to light the Olympic cauldron in 1992, it has been getting more and more creative with every passing Olympiad.   During the 2008 opening ceremonies for the Beijing Games Li Ning 'skywalked' to the Olympic cauldron.   How's London going to top that one?.

It will also be interesting to see what British Olympian will get the honor of lighting the torch.

And another question the trans community around the world will be asking is will this be the Games a trans athlete finally qualifies for their nation's Olympic team?


I've been an Olympic junkie ever since I watched the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics and later that summer the Mexico City Games.  I'm looking forward to seeing it take place not only in London, but watching some events like the tennis competition taking place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, or seeing the marathon run past world famous London landmarks and the soccer final in Wembley Stadium

But most of all I'm looking forward starting one year from today until August 12, 2012 to world class competition in 26 sports composed of the world's best athletes all battling for gold, silver and bronze medals.

And of course I want the USA grabbing its share of them.

Exposing Facebook Transhate

*Sigh*  Here we go again with this crap.

Remember the Tranny Alert blog I complained about two years ago and got it shut down because it could have led to a transwoman getting killed and the person organizing it and Blogger to get sued civilly?

Well, some fool is trying to do a repeat of the same thing on Facebook by setting up an 'Exposing Trannies' page

THE HOTTIES PAGE ON FACEBOOK! EXPOSING TRANNIES! IF IT GET DELETED JUST TYPE US IN THE SEARCH BOX CAUSE ANOTHER ONE WILL BE MADE IN 5 MINS AFTER IT GETS DELETED! #TEAM EXPOSE EM

Tthe so called Team Expose Em has set up these pages and claims they are going to set them up for every US city and that's a problem, especially for them and Facebook. 

But whoever this waste of DNA is, he doesn't care:

Exposing Trannies (Philly Edition)

Yall can report this page 1000 times..well just keep making new ones! THey must be EXPOSED! MORE PICS COMING SOON!

And we'll be just as determined to kill them and expose your behind.  You must be stopped before somebody gets hurt..  And as you probably guessed, the majority of transpeeps exposed on this initial page have been African American transwomen so far..

Just as with the problematic Tranny Alert page, if someone gets killed, sexually or physically assaulted as a result of being outed because of their BS, the so called Team Expose Em and Facebook could possibly be facing a civil suit.

And it not just transwomen who are in danger.  If they misidentify a ciswoman as trans, she could be subjected to a hate attack as well.

Okay peeps, time to get busy and let Facebook know they have a problem on their hands.

TransGriot Update:   The particular pages I highlighted appear to be shut down...As of yet I don't see any new page as the waste of DNA threatened to start, but if it happens, I will let y'all know and it WILL get shut down.
