From Alas, a blog Amp has been personally attacked many times because of this cartoon. I believe it’s because it’s speaking truth. Some folks don’t like to see their own reflection, or refuse to believe it and react violently when they do.
From the Wednesday, July 25th edition of the Randi Rhodes Show When someone apologizes for a “bad joke” and understands their mistake by making the following comment… ” This is my second attempt at posting a reply because I feel awful about your PERCEPTION of who I am.

What the heck is up with Wyoming Equality? From their front page: An equality group is promoting The Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival? For those that don’t know, the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival is a “womyn born womyn” event that specifically excludes transwomen.

I’m waiting for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to put out an action alert calling for a ban on Transadvocate.com. Why?
