Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Transpeople: Mock Them, Lock Down Because Of Them, And Kill Them Without Consequence

(Harsh isn't the word Autumn! - promoted by pam)

It's a harsh world out there for transgender people; from the last few days, here's some stories about just how harsh it is for transpeople out there:

- The Associate Press has a piece out entitled Illinois Lawmakers Mock Sex Change Bill:

Chapin RoseState lawmakers mocked sex changes while debating a bill that would have made it easier to get a new birth certificate after switching genders in another country.

The legislation came up shortly after a debate about neutering deer to control their population. Republican Rep. Chapin Rose joked that the state might start issuing sex-change documents to deer.

William 'Bill' B. BlackRepublican Rep. Bill Black said he objects to recognizing non-surgical sex changes. "Maybe you went somewhere and a voodoo doctor said you were now a man, where you had been a woman," Black said.

"I've often thought that perhaps I was a female trapped in a male body. I know - it scares me, too," he said to hoots from his colleagues. "I wish I didn't have to shave every day. ... I'd like to smell better. I'd like to have softer skin."


The Associated Press said the legislation failed on a vote of 32-78. The sponsor, Democratic Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, said she was "ashamed" by the comments of her peer lawmakers.

- Cranbrook Schools (Michigan) were on lockdown Tuesday. Why?

Cranbrook Schools went into lockdown today after parents reported seeing a man dressed as a woman near a campus bus stop.

Police have not located the man, described as a white male about 6 feet tall, wearing a gray or blonde wig, lipstick, flowered skirt and high heels. . .

. . .In light of Monday's tragic shootings in Virginia, said [Bloomfield Hills Department of Public Safety Lieutenant] Myszenski, police were called in because "we would rather err on the side of safety."


I guess Lt. Myszenski read the Homeland Security Department Memo that said of Al-Qaeda:
"Male bombers may dress as females in order to discourage scrutiny."

- Over in Chile, a confessed, brutal killer of a transwoman received a four year suspended sentence for his crime. In the article Chile: Confessed Transvestite Killer Avoids Jail, there's a description a murderer who repeatedly hit the victim, smashed the victim's head against a wall, mercilessly kicked her until she died -- and openly admitted to the crime. The killer had been out on $1,000 (US) bond for two-and-a-half-years prior to sentencing, and said of the low bail:
"Turns out it's cheap to kill a faggot."

Yup, it's a harsh world out there for transgender folk -- The world doesn't always smell as sweet to transpeople as apparently the women of the world smell to Republican Rep. Bill Black of Illinois.

And that's in a state with T-inclusive anti-discrimination law!


UNfortunately I was born there
The state law says if I had SRS in the USA, I could change my birth certificate.  Since I had mine outside the USA, and the surgeon that did my SRS is not licenced in the USA, he must be a VOO DOO doctor, and one of the best in the world I might add.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

A Kernel of Truth from Rep. Bill Black?
The photo shows he has already purchased a wig.  And what's with the Liza Minnelli apple cheeks?

=>The truth usually isn't pretty. Don't blame me for telling it.<=

Why do
republican fundies always have such fat heads and bad hair styles?

Oh,and you left out...
...take their kids away from them.

seriously, you note that predomonantly it is white heterosexual males who make the stupidest comments about TG people?

Insecurity and power.


Well, that or...
that's who gets elected to state legislatures in the first place.

Insecurity
is the key, I think.  These are men who are probably very insecure in a number of ways, including but not limited to their sexuality, attractiveness to others and penis size.  Yes, it's sometimes harsh to be transgendered but ultimately I believe that I'll be happy a larger percentage of my life than  the unfortunates who have to pick on folks like me to feel like they're any good.

[ Parent ]
Another Theory...
White hets have the biggest platform to speak from, the most power and visibility.  Others may be equally doorknob-dumb.

Um, if they had done that...

Transpeople: Mock Them, Lock Down Because Of Them, And Kill Them Without Consequence

one of the seminal people on VLSI, Lynn Conway, might not have been around to write the seminal text on VLSI (Meade & Conway).

Ironically, IBM, who was her original employer, fired her, because of ther transgenderedness.  To their detriment, of course.  She went into academia and co-authored the book.

BTW, there was an article about Conway in Scientific American within the last few years.  It might be available on the Sciam.com web site
