As many of you know yesterday was the honoring the memories of killed because of their gender identity and violence against transpeople in general. I suppose it might seem a little trite when transfolk were conveniently left behind during the vote on but it’s still important to show respect for transpeople nonetheless; a little extra recognition on one day can’t erase the prejudice they put up with year-round but it can help to ease the sting just a little. I have and they held their own little TDR party to share their war stories of transition their triumphs and the overall experience with their friends both gay and straight. (I ended up carrying one of them home drunk last night poor guy). Bruce who has never hidden that she is transgender was the incumbent in the Nov. 6 election for the Riverdale. Georgia City Council. She was the top vote-getter and advances to a runoff election next month. [...]In their petition to the court Fuller and Harris refer to Bruce as “Michael Bruce” and ask the court to nullify the Nov. 6 results. [...] The paper reported that Bruce’s voter registration her notice of candidacy and her driver’s license all identify her as Michelle Bruce a white female. Now…correct me if I’m wrong but it’s only fraud if there’s deliberate deception involved and deliberate intent to defraud someone by gaining from their loss. The loss vs gain argument doesn’t even work here because in an election there’ll always be one winner and one or more losers so of course the winner will gain from their loss. Michelle Bruce didn’t deceive anyone; not only is she legally recognized as female but she was even open with voters about the fact that she’s transgendered. I don’t see fraud here. I see two bitter losers latching on to something they think they can use to turn the tide in their favor. I also see a great deal of disrespect for Michelle and her transition by referring to her as “Michael”. It rather reminds me of someone at my friend Karl’s job who insists on referring to him as “Kelly” and who will be as nasty as possible about it. Fuller and Harris lost to the better - or at least the most popular - candidate and lost fairly. They should just accept that gracefully rather than launching an attack because they think Michelle Bruce somehow deceived voters. Granted the issue of deception can be a tricky one where transgenders are concerned because much of the general public doesn’t understand the concept of. They view crossdressing as a sexual fetish that often has to do with being gay when that’s hardly the case. I recall that not too long ago a transwoman who’d been living happily with her husband for many years was arrested because her neighbors found out she was trans and called the police to have her arrested for attempting to deceive and defraud the community. To members of the GBLTQ community who accept transpeople and understand exactly why they need to act on their gender identity to live in a way that’s most comfortable for them the entire notion of deception and fraud seems utterly ridiculous. To the general public who will go on complete mental lockdown if you ask them to try to reconcile a gender identity the total opposite of one’s anatomy it’s not so ridiculous at all. They don’t even mean to be malicious. Another friend of mine. Charles deals with this on a regular basis at work. He’s pre-op. FtM taking hormones. He looks very masculine grows a beard everything. Underneath his clothing though he wears a binder to flatten his breasts. He still has female anatomy but to anyone who knows him he’s very much a man. When he was first hired the HR manager was made aware of the situation and she did her best to understand and even if she didn’t she was at least very nice about making sure that no one else knew anything about it and he was hired on as Charles not as Cheryl. One day he was outed in the employee bathroom though…and once everyone knew he had female anatomy they immediately began referring to him as “she” and “her”. And they weren’t even trying to be mean. That’s just the way they’re conditioned; female anatomy means female male anatomy means male and anything else is just all in your head and should be dismissed. It’s almost a battle of generations as current and upcoming generations tend to understand gender identity far more than their elders. We understand why it’s a matter of respect to accept transgendered people as their chosen identity rather than by their anatomy because they couldn’t help the anatomy they were born with and in many cases either can’t afford to change it or in the case of many FtMs have less than desirable surgical options available and thus choose to make do with what they have. A lot of people don’t see that. They just say that you can’t possibly call yourself a woman or a man when you have the anatomy of the opposite sex. Still sometimes people can be educated into understanding. Many transpeople have had success educating their parents so all hope isn’t lost. Even people like Fuller and Harris can be educated if they’ll just listen and try to understand. It just takes time patience and a little understanding of your own. And cases like these remind me of just why it’s so important that those of us who do understand show respect to our trans friends so they know that there are those who I’m sorry to say I don’t even know any transgendered people. Then again. I don’t know many gay men or lesbians anymore so the statistics play out. I don’t often go to church anymore. I’m too afraid of the ceiling collapsing on me from the irony but I did on the 20th. It was only because someone mentioned it on the LGBT alliance community on LiveJournal that I knew about it. So. I went and lit a candle and went home. Beyond the letters I wrote to my senators and congressman about EDNA leaving out the transgendered. I didn’t see much else to do.

the king of Saudi Arabia is in the UK and may be the figurehead of responsibility for instability and the threat of terrorism in the Middle East and around the world. Certainly the family funds and supports Hizb ut-Tahrir and other extremist groups and they seem to do it in order somehow to distract the world's attention from their own obscurantist regime which not least is an anachronism given that the state is owned and run by one family. The king is not the beat tyrant in the world now that Saddam Hussein is gone the title of worst totalitarian state probably belongs now to North Korea with Burma running it close and the most insane regime is probably Iran or Zimbabwe. Did you know that if in Iran you are found to be gay they don't always kill you? No you get a free sex-change operation. More sex-change operations (gender reassignment I guess I should call it though mutilation would be more accurate in these cases) are performed in Iran than in any other country of equivalent per capita income level. So welcome to Britain Kingy enjoy your nice lunch with the Lord Mayor of London. Over on Harry's Place the immensely enjoyable tale of the split of Respect from the SWP continues.

Washington. DC—The Judicial Council of the United Methodist Church is deliberating this week over a series of controversial issues among them the recent re-appointment of a transsexual to be pastor of a church in Baltimore. The Judicial Council is meeting in San Francisco to consider 19 different docket items several dealing with sex and gender identity. The Judicial Council is the highest court in the United Methodist perform which has 7.9 million members in the United States. Among the groups show during the Judicial Council meeting. Reconciling Witness a caucus advocating “beat inclusion” of Gay. Lesbian. Bisexual and Transsexual persons is planning a series of events to oppose church teachings. There is no specific have in mind of transsexuality or sex change operations in the United Methodist schedule of develop the perform’s lawbook. However the United Methodist perform officially does not ordain into the ministry practicing homosexuals or others who are sexually active outside of marriage. United Methodism affirms God’s love and civil rights for all people while also affirming marriage as the lifelong union of man and woman. Outside of the steeple this kind of tactic is called “bemock and switch.” I’ve seen no mention of the Pastor being sexually active outside of marriage. attach Tooley responded:Christian teaching across the centuries has upheld the sacred nature of God’s gift of maleness and femaleness. Christianity’s traditions strongly lay out against any affirmation of transsexuality or sex change procedures. change surface if the Judicial Council cannot decisively command on the Baltimore transsexual case we expect the command Conference in 2008 will address it. Matthew 19:11 Jesus replied. “Not everyone can accept this word but only those to whom it has been given 12 For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can evaluate this should evaluate it.” Isaiah 56:3 Let no foreigner who has bound himself to the LORD say,“The LORD ordain surely do away with me from his people.”And let not any eunuch charge,“I am only a dry channelise.” 4 For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,who choose what pleases meand hold abstain to my covenant- 5 to them I will give within my temple and its wallsa memorial and a namebetter than sons and daughters;I ordain give them an everlasting namethat will not be cut off. or the fact that Early perform father or the compose of the Gospel of Matthew were all eunuchs. Christian historian Tertullian even stated that. I shouldn’t really be shocked considering that UM challenge has. I guess Christ meant to turn the other speak and love thy enemy at the inform of a gun. By their bear you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Likewise every good channelise bears good bear but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good channelise cannot bear bad bear and a bad channelise cannot bear good bear. Every channelise that does not feature good fruit is cut drink and thrown into the blast. Thus by their fruit you will accept them. Read their statements and apply the biblical texts I’ve shown here.
