San Antonio Transman Matthew Hileman files discrimination complaint against ATT

Hileman left his job as a consultant of AT&T in September. He says he had no other choice because two coworkers threatened him by posting a note on his chair after they discovered his secret gender identity (sic).

"Frankly it was a no smoking sign that said 'no fag'," said Justin Nichols, Hileman's lawyer. "And it was interpreted by my client as a direct threat," he added.

Now Hileman is making San Antonio history. His case is billed by his attorney as the first complaint filed under the non-discrimination ordinance.

Oneal Ron Morris South Florida Transgender "Fake butt doctor" begins serving sentence

Transgender woman Oneal Ron Morris turned herself in to serve a 365 day sentence for injecting peoples rear ends with a toxic mixture.

Morris escaped a possible 15 year sentence because police were unable to verify the contents of the injections due to the delays in reporting the crimes by the victims.

Morris will serve this sentence which may only be 6 months with time served but she still has to stand trial for manslaughter for injecting a person in Broward county.

Are "Living Dolls" Men who wear feminine rubber suits under the Trans Umbrella?

To be clear these men are not transgender, "Masking" is a 'weird' cisgender fetish.

Trans people are on a quest to live authentically, something that could never be done behind a mask. Sentiments like these were expressed by my friends over and over after I broached this subject yesterday after seeing this article at the Daily Mail which began with this:

With her long blonde locks, curvaceous figure and elfin features, 40-something Sherry is a woman few men would turn down. But there’s a catch. Sherry isn’t really a woman at all. Instead, she’s a retired property developer from California named Robert.

"Curvaceous figure and elfin features", "few men would turn down"? Really?

But, let me play the devils advocate for a moment and drop my trans privilege.

So it's perfectly acceptable for trans woman to wear breast forms and trans men to wear penis prosthesis but it's troubling, even weird when one wears a rubber body suit? After all, one of the major purveyors of these suits FemSkin is loaded with transgender links. Maybe there are already many trans identified people masking? And who am I to judge all of humankind transkind and cisgender?





My 2 cents? I believe in live and let live but for the life of me I do not understand what motivates people to do this. It also weirds me out. Sorry, guys but masks do that to me.

One friend commented that this pastime reminds her of autogynephilia that formally was the basis of the DSM prognosis of transsexualism:

 "Adult males who are sexually attracted to females, to both males and females, or to neither sex usually report a history of erotic arousal associated with the thought or image of oneself as a woman (termed autogynephilia).

The DSM V no longer includes Blanchard's abhorrent stigmatization of trans people due to our increased visibility and that's not something that could be accomplished behind a mask.

Or maybe perhaps social perceptions can be changed by someone behind a mask. The annual Rubber Doll World Rendezvous has an explicit set of rules that for the life of me appear focused on improving the worlds perception of "Masking". After all, Look what Anonymous is accomplishing and no they didn't 'weird' me out.

So are Living Dolls under the trans umbrella or just cis people engaging in harmless Cosplay?

Gender Warriors Interactive map detailing US doctors who perform Trans related surgeries

Gender Warriors have published an interactive map with surgeons across the US who perform trans related procedures. To see the map in its entirety click the arrow marker to the right of "name". Please visit Gender Warriors on Tumblr for the details and don't forget to reblog this amazing project.




Here are listed surgeons who perform various transgender surgeries in the US. It is meant to help people find surgeons operating in their area, but is not an endorsement. Before having surgery, you should do additional research into their practices.

NOTE TO USER: To search by procedure, there is a bar at the bottom of the page. Simply click on the surgeries you would like listed. For multiple surgeons operating in one city, you might have to zoom in a bit to be able to see them all.

LANGUAGE: The procedures we have listed use the language of FTM and MTF, but we by no means do we mean to exclude genderqueer peoples in this designation. Many surgeons operate on genderqueer or non-trans people, but for the purposes of this map, it was logistically easier to distinguish based on sex characteristics as opposed to identity.

Authors note: This article's sources appeared in various media today leading me to believe it just happened but it is still worth asking after 2 years, why have no charges been filed?

David O. Russell a wealthy Hollywood producer has admitted to police he sexually assaulted his his transgender niece Nicole Peloquin pictured right. According to The Smoking Gun and the LA Times it is 'unlikely' charges will be filed because there were no police witnesses to the crime.
Russell freely admitted to doing this at the in the gym at the Embassy Suites in Deerfield Beach Fl. but excused it saying she was 'acting provocatively' indicating in his opinion she asked for it.

Toronto Star ethics report "Transgender man’s behaviour in changeroom unacceptable"

Today's story by Ken Gallinger the Toronto Star's  "Ethically speaking columnist" is, well highly unethical. At best its lazy journalism. Worst case its a mainstream writer using his bully pulpit to amplify hate and fear of transgender people. The headline misgendering trans woman combined with the accompany image and an absence of sourcing or anything indicating this as an alleged occurrence gives the accusations of the alleged victim validity.

A cisgendger woman wrote to him about an alleged occurrence in a dressing room that if true would invoke the wrath of trans people as well as cisgender.

"I am a senior woman. Recently, a “man” claiming to be transgender, who had not yet begun physical treatments, was permitted by our local Y to use the women’s locker room. There are no secure change rooms. The person they allowed in was not courteous and stared at me while I struggled out of a wet bathing suit. He was naked, had an erection and playfully asked ‘do you come here often?’ I understand that gender is no longer judged solely by genitalia, but does a brief contact with the duty manager mean that men not yet committed to gender reassignment are free to disrobe anywhere they choose?"

Gallinger then goes on to state law and his opinion never once questioning the validity of the story or supplying interviews with witnesses or the Y's manager. As a sister Journalist and one with an agenda I am aware of the importance of journalistic integrity, obviously not an issue for Mr. Gallinger.

I hope Gallinger's editor's take note. Read the Toronto Star's article here.
