Radio hack Alex Jones calling Michelle Obama a 'tranny' is a compliment.

“Well, Joan Rivers talked about it the other day, and now it’s an international news story,” Jones said on-air. “The question is, ‘Who is Michelle Obama? Is she really a woman? Is she a man?

Jones went on to say...

“[E]specially,” Jones added, “when every time I look at ‘Michelle’ or ‘Michael’ Obama — the first lady, or first tranny — something doesn’t look right.”

Michelle Obama “doesn’t look like any black woman I’ve ever known” and criticized her for having “shoulders that are wider than a man’s, which physiologically doesn’t happen.” - Alex Jones

Being transgender I don't see comparing us to cis-people like Michelle as a bad thing, but intentionally misgendering her to invalidate her racial heritage is beyond belief. I know. You're asking, saying she's a tranny is a good thing now? I and most all of the transgender communities have fought gay people's efforts for years as the strove to belittle us with defamation like 'tranny. And now I'm saying calling the First Lady a Tranny is a compliment? It is when it comes from Alex Jones and his ilk.

If we felt it was derogatory we'd be handing Jones a victory by default.

So let's own this. Let's acknowledge that calling the First Lady a Tranny is empowering not only for us but by Michelle Obama as well, being the intelligent enlightened woman whom she is I'm sure she understands.

There's no need to call for an apology from Alex Jones or Joan Rivers

When Jones an overweight white bigot attempts to throw trans people and the entire black race into his hate-filled stew pot and stir discord by pointing out our shared humanity, there can only be one outcome. Inadvertently, Jones screed increases our empathy for one another drawing us closer.

And Jones is scared of all powerful fit women, not just Michelle. Yes, she appears healthy, most likely from time weight lifting and running. I too have muscular arms and that unique buff-ness that comes from physical exercise. There's no shame in caring for the body that was gifted to you.

And yes I run like a girl. You'd never be able to keep up 'heart attack' Jones.

Alex Jones calling Michelle Obama a 'tranny' is a compliment.

Austin lingerie shop owner says denying a trans woman service was 'dumb' and makes effort to learn

There may be hope for Kirk Andrews owner of Petticoat Fair Austin Texas after all. June 28th an employee denied transgender woman Kylie Jack services offered by the store.. Soon afterwards Andrews responded on facebook basically upholding the sales woman's actions posting:

"The dressing room area is a particularly private and vulnerable place for many women and girls, so it’s a protected area. For that reason, we also have a completely separate dressing area for women who have undergone mastectomies and need post-surgical care. (Our fitter invited Kylie and companion into this part of our store so they could have this delicate conversation privately.)"
  Kylie said that option wasn't offered.
"Just as a gym won’t allow men in a women’s dressing room (and vice versa) for the comfort and safety of its patrons, we don’t allow men or boys above a certain age in our dressing area. Despite our otherwise inclusive approach, those who might be or who outwardly appear to be men (regardless of how they are dressed) pose a delicate challenge, and in the case of imposters, can pose a safety risk to the Petticoat Fair staff."
(To read the full embedded facebook post click the date and time. Will open in a new window)


Andrews wasn't prepared for the trans backlash. Austin is known for being a progressive city and the community there and elsewhere wasted no time in expressing their outrage following this incredibly problematic facebook post by him.



In an abrupt turn around Andrews has gone public saying the shops policy of indiscriminately denying public accommodations was 'dumb'. Who knows, perhaps Andrews read Austins 5-2-4 PROHIBITED PRACTICES and realized that he had already admitted publicly violating, putting him at risk of a costly lawsuit.

Perhaps it was all the 'yelling' and there was plenty of that to be sure.



It looks like this is being resolved amicably...

Joan Rivers calls Michelle Obama a 'tranny'

Joan Rivers first calls president Obama gay then elaborates muttering defamation barely audibly saying Michelle Obama is a 'tranny'. Rivers then called her a 'transgender'.
UK Express: The 81-year-old - who hit headlines this week after officiating a gay marriage at her book signing in New York - made the shocking claim during an impromptu interview with a journalist yesterday.

When asked if she thought the US might get their first gay or female president in the future, she replied: "We already have that with Obama. You know Michelle is a trans."
By calling Mrs. Obama transgender Rivers inadvertently acknowledges that she is a powerful, strong willed woman unafraid to buck trends and speak her mind. But to Rivers saying Michelle is transgender is the ultimate put down, that is how a bigoted mind works.

I'd like to thank Rivers for elevating our community by associating us with this amazing woman and offer my sympathies to her for having a weak and hateful soul.

Amazing Kentucky Principal stands up for transgender students

Student Christina Kelty speaking against the policy said that she feels its unfair that a minority
should have the same rights as cisgender Christians.

It takes courage to stand up to transphobia but its extraordinary when that happens in the bible belt. Atherton Kentucky principal Dr. Thomas Aberli told the assembly that he was standing by his policy allowing students access to public accommodations.

 Dr.Aberli addressed the alliance defending religious freedom.org letter appealing the policy saying that he's taking personnel responsibility for his decision to allow transgender students to use the bathroom that matches their gender expression

Source Courier Journal A group of parents and community members have appealed Atherton High School's new policy that allows students to use the restroom and locker room of their sexual identity.

Atherton's site-based decision-making council will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the appeal, which was submitted in writing by Clinton Elliott, a Louisville attorney with the Christian-based legal group Alliance Defending Freedom.

"We submit that the SBDM council decision on June 5, 2014…violates the bounds of their authority relating to the use of space under (state law) and is inconsistent with state and federal law, inconsistent with concerns for safety and inconsistent with concerns for liability," the letter reads. "We therefore hereby appeal that decision, request a hearing and request that the SBDM council reconsider and reverse its decision."

Suspect surrenders to police for the murder of Transwoman Tiffany Edwards

Quamar Edwards wanted for the murder of Transwoman Tiffany Edwards, turns himself in to police. The suspect's uncle told WLWT:
"MY NEPHEW AIN'T ON NO HATE STUFF. DON'T MAKE IT KIND OF SEEN LIKE A MONSTER OR A VILLAIN." QUAMAR'S UNCLE SAYS TIFFANY ASKED HIS NEFF KNEW FOR A RIDE AND SOMEHOW THINGS ESCALATED FROM THERE.
 "APPARENTLY HE FOUND OUT THE BOY WAS GAY BECAUSE HE TRIED TO HIT ON HIM AND ALL OTHER KIND OF STUFF. AND I TOLD YOU MY NEPHEW GOT AN ATTITUDE ABOUT THAT NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT, BUT THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BECAUSE THE GUY WAS GAY."

WLWT and most Ohio media outlets identifies Tiffany as a man using her birth name. WLWT s does its best to present a man who committed a transpanic murder as the victim. If the murder did go down like how his uncle says it did, he was motivated by transpanic.. California's Assembly just voted for legislation outlawing that defense. AB-2501 is expected to pass the Senate and become law this year.



The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Cincinnati Police Department Criminal Investigation Section at (513) 352-3042.
