Gender Colonialism - Nina Paley. Scientific Inqueery. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY–Circulate this so others can know and protect themselves and their communities, before she tries to get this taken down as well I recently found the courage within myself to speak publicly about my emotionally and sexually abusive relationship with Trans Student Educational Resources co-founder and Executive Director Eli Erlick.
Since then, Eli has responded primarily with silence and secondarily by spreading lies claiming my account is false and somehow transmisogynistic, hiding behind theory to justify her abuse and doing injustice to actual violent transmisogyny. I am publicly publishing this album for all to behold. This album will contain mostly screenshots of Eli’s admissions of guilt to the abusive behaviors I accuse her of, as well as documented attempts she has made to bury and discredit my testimony. Genderqueering the Dead.

Why Doesn't ISNA Want to Eradicate Gender? Submitted by April Herndon on Fri, 02/17/2006 - 13:28.
We’re often asked why ISNA doesn’t forcefully advocate for a genderless society. Many times, these questions come from people with a genuine interest in gender studies and educating people about intersex. The truth is that we share lots of common ground with people in the humanities and/or activist communities who have fought long and hard to insure that the voices of marginalized people are heard.

Effects of Environmental Endocrine Disruptors on Pubertal Development. A Different Stripe. FULL CIRCLE: Renee Sullivan, 30, struggled with her genderidentity beginning at 17 Photo by Shun Liang One Saturday evening, when I was 26, I got dressed for a night out on the town.

If trans activists truly cared about feminism, they would respect women's spaces. In The Guardian this week, lawyer and writer Shon Faye claims “trans people in Britain have recently been subjected to a media onslaught” — an almost laughable irony, if it weren’t so dishonest.
The truth is that, while indeed many women and journalists in the UK have been covering and speaking out about questions surrounding the transitioning of children, proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act, potential conflicts between gender identity legislation and women’s rights, and the attacks on those who question gender identity ideology, these articles and that activism do not by any stretch constitute an attack on trans-identified people.

Meghan Murphy Founder & Editor. Re: What is a TERF? A MAN IN THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM AT DISNEYLAND — The Get Real Mom. I didn't know if I was going to write this blog or not.
A part of me was scared it'd be shared as some transgender hot piece about yet another homophobic mom lashing out at Disney and then I'd have to deal with the wrath of the internet telling me to kill myself. So let me be clear. This isn’t that story. This is a story about a biological man in the women’s restroom, but we need to discuss some gender issues.
