On October 10-11, 2009, we will gather in Washington DC from all across America to let our elected leaders know that now is the time for full equal rights for LGBT people. We will gather. We will march. And we will leave energized and empowered to do the work that needs to be done in every community across the nation.

Our single demand: Equal protection in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states.

Our philosophy: As members of every race, class, faith, and community, we see the struggle for LGBT equality as part of a larger movement for peace and social justice.

Our strategy: Decentralized organizing for this march in every one of the 435 Congressional districts will build a network to continue organizing beyond October.

Speech: Cleve Jones, "Meet In The Middle 4 Equality" Rally, Fresno, CA, May 30, 2009

Sort of like the million man march.... but not nearly as scary.

Asa Adams School and it's bathroom Precedence....

This is amazing, and nuts all in one breath....

Basically there's two students.... One is a female, one is a male.... The male student upset that he can't enter the bathroom like the female student files a complaint of discrimination using transgender as their ploy. All the while it's merely a cover-up for the student's bigotry and hatred because the female student is transgender.

In the end though the kid doesn't win. A little common sense, and the judgement is since his gender identity was male, he shouldn't have been in the bathroom... bravo, and finally a use for the gender/sex dichotomy.

Here's film-reel version of the article:

The discrimination in question first occurred in October 2007 when the child was in the fifth grade at Asa Adams School. Until then, she was allowed to use the girls’ bathroom, although she was biologically male. But that fall, the transgender child was followed into the girls room by a male student who had “previously started to harass her by stalking her and calling her ‘(expletive),’” according to the Maine Human Rights Commission investigator’s report.

Paul Melanson, grandfather of the boy accused of harassing the transgender student, also filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission, saying that not allowing his grandson to use the girls bathroom or the faculty bathroom as the other child did was a violation of his grandson’s right to public accommodation under the Maine Human Rights Act. Melanson had given his grandson permission to use the girls bathroom as long as the transgender student was doing so, according to the report.

“Minor Student 2 was disciplined because his biological sex is male and his gender identity is male and he used the girls’ bathroom,” the investigator’s report said.

I think Grandpa needs to keep his homophobia from spreading to his grandson.

When Boys wear Tampons.... and their Gender marketing...

Mark this one under 'general gender marketing' stupidity. Proctor and Gamble campaign their tampons under the guise of gender fantasy (fictionmania) having a make-believe blog pretend a boy gets his period. Funny right.... but oddly enough there has been intersexuals with closed vaginal canals whom have almost died at the onset of puberty because of menstruation.

One day a high school boy wakes up and can't find his manhood. Literally. The family jewels have gone missing and been replaced by what girls have. Being a modern lad, he doesn't go to the doctor but rather documents his feelings about this development in an on-line diary, http://www.zack16.com, complete with video and reader comments. Each day he discovers more and more about what it's like to be female, and sure enough, after about a week and a half — or three videos — he gets a visit from Aunt Flo. You know, the monthly one. Used to go by the name The Curse?

The diary appeared on the Internet in late April, without much buzz, and initially drew about 1,000 or so curious onlookers to the site and its inevitable Twitter Feed, where followers speculated about whether Zack16 was a bizarre new Metamorphosis-meets-My-So-Called-Life scripted dramedy or an ad for something. After a few reporters picked up on it, the buzz grew and it was revealed to be the latter. Specifically, it's an online campaign for Procter & Gamble's Tampax.

This seems like a really great way to really upset the in-laws. I'm not saying, normal mad... I'm talking throwing crap, in-a-rage, get in the car and drive it in to a tree mad.... A couple in some personal sociological experiment has decided not to reveal their babies gender.

“We want Pop to grow up more freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset,” Pop’s mother said. “It's cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead.”

The child's parents said so long as they keep Pop’s gender a secret, he or she will be able to avoid preconceived notions of how people should be treated if male or female via

It's at this point the grands grab the baby and shake it violently till the diaper falls off...

Although Pop knows that there are physical differences between a boy and a girl, Pop's parents never use personal pronouns when referring to the child – they just say Pop.

You say "Pop"... I think...

In all honesty, I think it's admirable what they're doing... I just don't know if I would be capable of ignoring the intense habitual norm to administer gender upon the child.

A Boy named Sarah

I heard a trans woman talk about friends of hers, also trans, who wouldn’t go to the hospital until they were very sick, in order to avoid the humiliation of being called by their birth names; not to mention the discrimination they suffered (there are laws now that protect trans people in public hospitals). No one would risk their life like that if it weren’t so painful and violent to be called by the wrong name. via

Wow! It's when I read stuff like what traslúcido wrote on their blog that makes me repeat the infamous line from the movie "Labyrinth"....

Sarah: Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great...
[thunder rumbles]
Sarah: For my will is as strong as yours, my kingdom as great... darn. I can never remember that line.
[Sarah looks up the line from the Labyrinth book]
Sarah: You have no power over me.

As if to say... No one ever has power of you, principle, parent, friends, unless you give them that power.... If only someone would have told me that back in high-school.

need tips on when/how to come out

OK, I already know in my heart that I am transgendered, but the thing is... I dont know how to let my parents know... I also dont know when the best time is to come out. With politics being revolved around gay/transsexual behavior, Im not sure if this is the right time to come out to my family. Also, my sister is getting married very soon so I dont know if coming out now would bring more stress upon her before marriage and possibly ruin it.
My dad is also looking for a new job because he got laid off from insight (they're really big, they even have their own "bowl" as in football), so again I dont want to put anymore stress on him. He also can get a little aggressive at times. He got a new job but they're not as big so Im not sure if it would aggrivate him too much if I came out now.
I am underaged too so that would complicate things even further because I would have to spend 6 years with my family and have them be uncomfortable around me if they find out. What would make it even more uncomfortable is that my dad always makes fun of the people on the radio who admit that they're gay (although my mother doesnt like when he does...) I already know this would be a bad time, but I dont know how long I should wait after my sister gets married and my dad gets settled into his new job (he seems to be enjoying it somewhat). I also need to know HOW to actually tell them, because, tbh, I have no clue how to tell them... I would really appreciate any answers you might have!
Sorry for the long post... sometimes I get carried away
