Interlopers the play in LA: Transgender unique misfits journey to authentic selves

The keywords in the Interlopers tweet captured my imagination. Setting aside the inevitable transphobic world for a moment lets revel in our experience.

From Bootleg Theater: "The Interlopers by Gary Lennon, is a Romeo and Juliet story set in the transgender world of Los Angeles. Through the theme of identity, the play explores a group of unique misfits who call themselves family, and who are brave enough to challenge the obstacle course called life. Examining these singular and special people, the play follows them on their journeys to being their whole and authentic selves."

What Not to Learn from Osama bin Laden’s Death

What Not to Learn from Osama bin Laden’s Death. Torture does not provide answer but then nether does denying trans people exist.

This piece written by NRCAT and edited for my approval will not be published with the help of NRCAT in any newspaper oped sections because my signature identifying myself as transgender 'was to controversial'. They did say they had LGB(T) in the office same as me! SAME AS ME? No gay and lesbians are not the same as me. We didn't even talk about my being a organizer activist let alone my radical views.

Because that piece can not be published as a op ed after being appearing else where I will do my own street rant about torture.

By Kelli radical transgender activist Busey

What we learned from Osama Bin Laden's murder. WE learned that torture doesn't do squat for us other than make people our enemies who otherwise might be unambiguous toward us.

We learned the US Military is competent enough to murder a poor man in a threadbare blanket watching while watching a 9" black and white telly.

We learned that the religious and political right has no moral problems capitalizing on murder by a democratic administration seem a victory for the capitalistic pig bourgeois US government.

We learned that left wing seemingly well meaning anti torture groups have a problem with anyone being transgender.

We learned not to put our faith in anyone but ourselves. Oh yeah, we re-learned war sucks.

Invitation to yet Another Gay misogynist meaT Locker Drag Show!

I get a lot of negative feedback when I talk about my dislike of Drag. But sometimes I just got to say...

It degrades, objectifies and stigmatizes the most vulnerable of the LGBT community, usually trans woman but cisgender gay illusionists with little or no choices in life also suffer.

WESLEY RAYMOND HULL had taken it upon himself to invite me to yet another Drag show.

I would like to believe he's just T Totally ignorant of who I am but given my history of confronting Rupaul's Gay.com media mafia, and gay misogynists everywhere but that's a little hard to believe.

Just for the record. Do not invite me to these meat locker shows and I won't fuck with you.

Facebook is Deleting Groups: Goodbye TransAction ConVergence

My Baby is going to be killed by Facebook.

C;[K (militant angry kelli wearing a Internet helmet)

This is possibly one of the saddest things I have ever posted about.

TransAction ConVergence, a group that I grew from a small Facebook event is now slated to be deleted by Facebook.

Facebook posted this message offering most groups a option to "Up Grade" to the new group format, keeping their membership by simply clicking the "Up Grade" button.


Finding no button I looked for answers in the help section. Facebook says simply to click the button. There I joined with millions of other angry group administrators who were also denied a 'Up Grade' Button.



Investigation initially provided no responses searching on Facebook for groups opposed to this change. Facebook made it very hard to locate them. So I searched online and found PC World's article Facebook Redesign Revolt Grows to 1.7Mwhich linked me to the facebook groups MILLIONS AGAINST FACEBOOK's PRIVACY POLICIES AND LAYOUT REDESIGN and MILLIONS AGAINST FACEBOOK's PRIVACY POLICIES AND LAYOUT REDESIGN.

The only reason most of us can see for killing us is we grew too large. We became a threat to Facebook. That and we are transgender radicals daring to be different. Stephanie kay Stevens and I grew TransAction ConVergence to a 5,000+ powerhouse from a simple event that dared to ask Facebook to add gender Identity/Transgender to the options on one's profile.

Facebook ignored the 20,000 gender variant people who joined that event. It looks like they are hell bent on ignoring millions more now.

Did you ever have a dream? We did and it's TransAction ConVergence. Trans Activists, Journalists and bloggers FREELY exchanging ideas and advocating. The American Dream.

I don't know when this will happen, all I know is my baby is scheduled to be killed by Facebook.

GLAAD To Honor Kim Cattrall SIN Star for Racial Profiling Transgender Defaming Elitist Classism

GLAAD is going to honor Sex in the City star Kim Cattrall at the GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco on May 14.
GLAAD's announcement makes no mention of the "Half Man Half Woman tranny hooker" "Chicks with Dicks" Sex in the city episode. Cattrall's racial stereotyping of transgender woman working to survive was bad enough but when she threw the bucket of water down on them knocking one persons wig off stripping that woman of her humanity, that was too much. Add physical assault to the list.

But does GLAAD give a flip as long as she has a lesbian GF and supports SSM?

Plotsummary: Samantha has another cocky problem: gross transsexual whores in front of her window.

I am calling on GLAAD Media director Rich Ferraro to treat transgender people with respect and not give this award to Cattrall.

In a exchange recently with Rich Ferraro sparked by a recent Washington Blade post defaming transgender people he responded emailing me:

"We do a lot of work with mainstream media regarding transgender issues –because it’s an area where so many have a lot to learn. One of the key goals of our team is to also push out positive stories about LGBT people – and I hope that more will continue to run. Perhaps this can happen in LGBT media as well – it seems like whenever we do an action speaking out against transgender discrimination/offensive media images, we (GLAAD) get hit very hard by the gay and lesbian people on our list. There needs to be more work done to reach those people with images that move them to support the trans community."

"I do have some relationships with LGBT media/reporters so I do hope that you can continue to send items like this to me or if articles run that misrepresent the trans community. I’m happy to put you in touch to relay concerns. I recommend that happensbefore public blog posts go up on your site though."

I emailed back pointing out to him that when you kick the hornets nest of transphobia you are going to get stung regardless if the hornets are straight of gay! To be honest I didn't really know how to react to that last line. It almost seemed threatening but I emailed him back agreeing maybe we should work together.

Rich, just a observation. You just kicked the transgender hornets nest. Do not award Cattrall for her transphobic hatred.

Email Rich Ferraro ar Ferraro@glaad.org
