Obama to transgender peeps OK, OK we'll meet but in "Secret!"

BIG NEWS!! The Obama administration held its first ever meeting with representatives from the transgender community.

OK I don't think so. Everything about the meeting was a secret except that it was scheduled as announced by the gay.com rag Washington Blade.

So...WHATS THE SECRET? Is the secret the people your representatives met with were not actually transgender? Yuck, dirty street peeps? Its not a secret to the transgender community that this was a gathering of gay illuminati who are currently subverting the transgender agenda on state levels. Is the secret they are also now engaging the federal government?

After all none of us in trans community need the secrecy of a meeting that's required with Arab oil tycoons.

Is the secret that the Obama administration would rather not meet with real transgender people who face the discrimination and that this meeting was with a group of slightly more acceptable privileged white gay people?

Is the secret that these gay organizations will employ shills simultaneously to announce a NEW PLAN for transgender peoples equality. A new plan that by the way fits into gay peoples agenda while simultaneously assimilating the transgender identity?

Not a secret.

So Obama, if you want to earn the respect and votes of the transgender community meet with us in public, face to face in a town hall. So, what do you say? *crickets*

So, whats the secret?

Washington Examiner's Gregory Kane. Hate with Words is Violence

Thought Word and Deed

Washington Examiner columnist Gregory Kane recently published article 'Hate crime' justice is no justice at all uses the written word as an act of violence.

I respect the Washington Examiner's right to express its right wing political views. However Kane's article came off the tracks early on from its original argument that the attack was not a hate crime, instead driving down without mercy blow after blow on a woman who was just days prior laying beaten on the floor.

Mr Kane showed his hatred of gender diversity by intentional missgendering the recent beating victim. Kane obviously is aware of transgender sensitivities by purposefully repeating this
attack on the victim a transgender woman again and again. The same way that her two two attackers did in McDonald's.


There is no crime in hate thought, except what is known to god, that is not expressed as violence. The author of this article clearly stepped over the boundary of thought and crime. What Kane did was to express his hatred of transgender people in writing. What those teenagers did to Chrissy Polis was a hate crime using physical violence.


There is no pardoning Kane's transphobic hatred. He joined those two criminals in the attack with his written word.

State's Attorney can't Prosecute McDonald Beating as a Trans Hate Crime because of EQMD, NCTE, NGLTF, MD ACLU and HRC

Maryland's AG can't prosecute the McDonald beating as a transgender Hate Crime because of the legislative efforts of EQMD, NCTE, NGLTF, ACLU of MD, and HRC's sponsorship, tacit or direct, of HB 235.

Yeah, everyone's sure at least these groups are anyways, a bill with public accommodations wouldn't have passed. Or maybe it would have. We will never know because these groups didn't want public accommodations included and they refused to listen to us.

Least we forget that all that all these organizations participated in the silencing of the victim of the Maryland Beating, a transgender resident of Maryland! Equality Maryland (EQMD), National Gay Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTC), guilty.

These organizations are now grandstanding trying to milk this tragedy claiming they fought to legislate transgender equality this spring. What they are NOT saying is they used every means at there disposal to deceive, hide, mislead, censor, alienate and finally ignore the Maryland transgender community while pushing a bill on them that they didn't want.

What they are NOT saying is that HB 235 even if passed would have had NO effect on this crime. What they are NOT saying is that these national organizations together conspired to strip public accommodations from the previous years equality bill so as to get a cheap victory at the cost to transgender people.

This cost Ms.Polis very dearly. Its time for the lies to stop. It's time for equality Maryland to lift it's censorship of it facebook page. It's time for gay.com to respect transgender people's wishes.

Texas SB 723 Anti Transgender Marriage Bill on Back Burner for now

The bad news. Tommy Williams Senate bill can only be described as a unmitigated attack on law abiding transgender citizens of Texas. This legislation may still be passed that would strip Texas families of there state recognized marriage.



The good news: Daniel Williams at Legislative Queery reports 2/3's of the Senate does not support this bill so it has been moved to the back burner where it could very well die.

But Daniel warns us not to let our guards down, very sage advice from the veteran advocate without LGBT borders. So lets keep up the pressure. Find your legislator Here and tell them vote NO to SB 723!

TRANSFOBIA EN EL McDonald's Documented history of Hate under the Arches since 2006

Videos dating back to 2006 document the rampant transphobia of McDonald's management that has resulted in the near death beating of this transgender woman.

*Breaking* According to Justin Fenton Crime reporter for The Baltimore Sun the police have just identified one of the suspects as 18yo Teonna Monae Brown and charged her with assault. Brown is one of the teens who accosted Polis saying she was a "man" using the women's restroom. He's not sure why police are just now releasing her name as she was arrested Friday.

The Empowered Kitty tells of her cries for mercy "Where am I supposed to go?" These were the plaintive cry of a transwoman in between savage beatings as two teen girls in Baltimore respond to her mere presence with extreme violence. It seems this individual, who is clearly presenting as female, regardless of her personal identity or legal sex, attempted to use the bathroom deemed socially appropriate for her at the time.”

 

This is not the first time that a Maryland McDonald has displayed intense transphobia as documented by the next three You Tube videos. The transphobic behaviour of their employees has without a doubt influenced those who assaulted Chrissy Lee Polis.

Uploaded on Jan 27, 2011 a transgender woman in a Maryland McDonald's was denied access to public accommodations by a man she said represented the restaurant as a security guard.

"EN ESTE ESTABLECIMIENTO ESTE HOMBRE QUE DECIA SER EL SEGURIDAD DEL ESTABLECIMIENTO NO ME DEJO ENTRAR AL BANO DE MUJERES CUANDO OBVIAMENTE YO VIVTO COMO MUJER Y ESTOY EN PROCESSO DE CAMBIO Y SOLO PORQUE SE LE ANTOJO NO ME DEJO ENTRAR AL BANO Y PASO POR ENCIMA DE LA AUTORIDAD DE LA MANAGER."

Translation: In the restaurant, this man was claiming to be the security of the facility would not let me in the ladies' room when obviously I'm presenting as a woman and I am in the process of transition. Because he won't let me use the bathroom, I had to step above his authority and involve the store manager.

On July 10, 2009, 17-year-old Zikerria Bellamy applied online for a job at McDonald's. On July 28, after one of McDonald's managers learned that Zikerria is transgender, he left her this message about her job application. "We do not hire faggots"

In 2006 Christina Sforza was beaten senseless by a New York city McDonald's manager with a STEEL PIPE for using the restroom! Unbelievably the police arrested this transgender woman but according to Amnesty International press release latter dropped the charges. However according to a follow up Amnesty.UK press release no police investigation or actions were taken against the McDonald's manager or the corporate office!

I received these two twitter responses from Corporate McDonald. To there credit they did reply to me but I feel their response to transphobia in there workplace will be equal to our protest. Sandy Rawls of Trans-United said there will be at least 100 people at the Monday protest at the Baltimore McDonald's.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Stop the hate. I encourage all transgender folk and our allies to attend.

You can donate to her via a paypal account set up by a friend I will personal vouch for at Transowned.biz

If you want to tell McDonald’s that you are not “loving it,” please call in your comments to 1-800-244-6227, the lines are open 7 days a week from 7 am to 7 pm CST.

Executive Director of EQMD, Morgan Meneses-Sheets FIRED by Board of Directors

Washington Blade reports that the board of director fired executive director, Morgan Meneses-Sheets.

I have personally lobbied for Morgan Meneses-Sheets removal. She has personally rode herd on this organizations deceptions censorship and intimidation of the transgender community. Equality Maryland under Morgan Meneses-Sheets slandered trans and cisgender activists alike lowering themselves so far as to claim we made physical threats of harm against them and Maryland legislators, just to justify the campaign of censorship.

According to the Blade: “This past Sunday, the Board of Directors of Equality Maryland, in executive session, voted to remove her from her position, essentially telling the organization’s staff, volunteers, supporters, funders and general community that the organization will now move in a different direction,” Thorn said in his statement."

Of course the Washington Blade spun her departure to make her look like a blameless victim.

The Washington Blade goes on:

“In particular the past few months have been tough to bear,” she said. “Not because of the hard work which I welcome and felt honored to be part of, but because of the forces within the organization and external politics that created additional and unnecessary obstacles to our forward movement and success.”

She added, “As I move on, I will not focus on the negative or destructive forces that created this untenable situation; instead I will look back at the many proud moments along the way.”

I have been unable to post comments on the Washington Blade ever since I called them out for enabling Equality Maryland's horrendous tactics but that seems to be changing too.

My comment on the Blade which remains for now:

Whats not addressed by this article is the real reason Sheets was fired. As a “Equality” organization’s leader you can not mistreat and ignore the people you say you represent. I believe firing her was the first and only thing Equality Maryland needed to do to get back in the communities good graces.
I seriously hope Equality Maryland now allows all of its members to comment. I hope they stop making false claims against there members.
And Washington Blade I hope you publish this comment by me. I am sure you are aware by now some key people are aware of your censorship and misrepresentation of the transgender community as well.

I was severely tempted to embed the 'wicked witch is dead' song from the Wiz but that would be too celebratory. Instead lets take a trip of hope over the rainbow together.
