Genocide & Julie Bindel | Taking Up Too Much Space
https://takesupspace.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/genocide-julie-bindel
Taking Up Too Much Space. Trans misogyny, feminism, and trans activism. Genocide and Julie Bindel. October 20, 2008. It’s a strong word. A frightening word. A word that seems far too terrible, far too extreme for what an especially transphobic journalist or filmmaker advocates–even when you consider the existence of multiple forms of genocide, cultural genocide. When Janice Raymond’s “solution” to transsexuality is to “morally mandate it out of existence. 8220; [emphasis mine]. When gender clinics made s...

Taking Up Too Much Space. Trans misogyny, feminism, and trans activism. Trans and Queer Chants that mean something. I wrote these chants for the 2007 Twin Cities Trans March and the ’08 Chicago Dyke March. Spread them far and wide and make our resistance have meaning again. If you like them, let me know! Also if you have an issue you want me to write about). (some have more content than others, but most do). The gender system must be broken. I am not your fucking token. Bolition, that’s. Our cause —.

The Extreme Right & Middle-Class Apathy | High On Rebellion
https://highonrebellion.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/the-extreme-right-middle-class-apathy
It’s all connected. The Extreme Right and Middle-Class Apathy. May 8, 2009. There’s a really good article. In current LRB by Gareth Peirce about the UK government’s possible (likely) complicity with torture in Guantanamo Bay and other overseas detention centres. But when I talk to many non-activists about the democratic deficit, there is almost a sense of relief underpinning their words. I can’t do anything about injustice/poverty/the war/racism/torture; so therefore, I don’t have to bother. European ele...

Dear Telegraph – I will TELL you when it’s class warfare | High On Rebellion
https://highonrebellion.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/dear-telegraph-i-will-tell-you-when-its-class-warfare
It’s all connected. Dear Telegraph – I will TELL you when it’s class warfare. April 24, 2009. Yesterday’s Telegraph headline was “The Return of Class Warfare”. Apparently, the government’s decision to raise income tax on incomes over 150 000 to 50% is class warfare on par with Stalinist purges, etc. On a 50% tax rate, you would still take home 75 000. 75 000! I actually don’t know what I would do with that much money! Buy that really nice pair of shoes! I also think people who are making anywhere near 40...

Really, I’m nobody: September 2008
http://outis-reallyimnobody.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Really, I’m nobody. Sunday, September 28, 2008. When playing an ARG, one never leaves any potential lead unchecked. That is how I discovered Steph Waller's Blog, Incurable insomniac. Her "Slice of Life" commentary is not to be missed. Steph responded in kind with a reciprocal award. I am reluctant to accept. After all I am no-one. I deserve no such accolades. For constantly growing and letting all know that it is ok to redefine ourselves. Because you are anything but Uncool. Saturday, September 27, 2008.

Picture Frames | Taking Up Too Much Space
https://takesupspace.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/picture-frames
Taking Up Too Much Space. Trans misogyny, feminism, and trans activism. December 15, 2009. Last night I went to see Rebecca’s (yes that Rebecca. New show, Trans Form. I’d plug it if I could, but last night was the last night. So, the confessional. But *why* one wants to transition I leave out. I don’t frame being transsexual as being about identifying as a sex other than the one I was assigned at birth– it’s about the State, institutions of medicine, religion, Science-with-a-capital...I love being trans!

You call those statistics? What reality are you living in? | Taking Up Too Much Space
https://takesupspace.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/you-call-those-statistics
Taking Up Too Much Space. Trans misogyny, feminism, and trans activism. You call those statistics? What reality are you living in? February 28, 2009. So, what’s one of the first things out of people’s mouth’s about trans people? We’re so rare, no one’s ever met us before, etc. The psychiatric community has, for the most part, invested heavily in this idea that we’re incredibly rare. My high school were representative of the US, then 1/583 is almost certainly lower than reality. Furthermore, my high s...
