The fact is as Trans is suppose to be part of the LGBT, why would any trans person if they cared about gay and lesbian issues and right, have up until very recently (and only in states where gays and lesbians marriage is legal) marry? Does this sound like COMMUNITY to you???? Does this sound like a political group of like minded people with gay and lesbian interest in mind????-Dirt 8/5/11
Makes about as much sense as Civil Rights groups partnering with the KKK for equal rights!
Aside from her complete inability to form coherent sentences, Dirt thinks she's a cool kid to compare Trans rights activism to the KKK.
If this isn't the ramblings of a hateful and deranged mind, I don't know what is.
Expect much more next week...
I agree with you!!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you giving Dirt more airtime than she already has?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not particularly focused on dirt on this blog.
ReplyDeleteHer vile trash in the latest post was just the last straw for me.
I'll be featuring a great number of different radfem bloggers and authors in order to highlight the thinly-veiled hatred, post-hoc rationalizations, and systematic ignorance that courses through their veins.
Ridiculous argument, of course. Saying that heterosexual trans people who marry are betraying the LGBT community is like saying that homosexual couples in New York who marry are betraying LGBT people in other states or countries. Or, for that matter, straight allies who get married are betraying us.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a brilliant blog.
Basically, trans people are a very small minority in the world, and they don't have a lot of social or political power. So they're an easy target - but it's useless to try to wage a war against trans people who just wanna get on with their lives, rather than the courage it would take to fight real enemies, like those who make and enforce discriminatory legislation against LGBT people.
Also, seeing as there are few trans people in the world, and the general public doesn't have much knowledge about them, it's easy to convince people that trans people pose some kind of a threat - fear of the unknown, if you will.
