Blind "Anti-bullying" Advocates Apologizing For Anti-Transsexual Slurs Is Such A Drag…A Brutal…Ongoing…Drag

 

Sick of blind "anti-bullying" advocates apologizing for Drag Race being such a drag... a brutal... ongoing drag!

History Repeats: The same way a disappointedly large percentage of the gay male community is responding to the women in my community expressing how hurling out anti-trans slurs and systematic misgendering effects them spiritually, emotionally and sometimes physically is amazingly similar to how men in America treated women suffragettes who lobbied to vote. Little boys need to stop these toddler tantrums, calm down, be gentle and listen to people's feelings. You're better than this so affirm your community's rainbow logo and genuinely celebrate and respect ALL the colors of the rainbow, not only a classist and sexist few.

The LGB media has committed non-journalism by not enforcing a balanced presentation of all sides, such as primarily only allowing gay male and drag queen opinions and writers to influence this story. Our voices become censored because LGBT media is really G media, once you take off the wig the truth remains.

Many token trans toms (selected by LGB media heads) who do find themselves all of a sudden joining the transsexual community's cause subtly or even blatantly apologize for their gay male benefactors slighting us and/or misrepresent the origins of this plight by censoring the feminist element out of the coverage almost entirely. Having our LGB handlers at GLAAD transparently select and produce trans* reality TV contestants into their mouth pieces may seem to serve us with one hand yet cleverly (mis)speaks for us with the other. They jump on the bandwagon, soften our grievance's urgent concerns and recite some GLAAD written sound bite that benefits the same establishment that encourages our 2nd class status in this LG"t" coalition. And it is a coalition at best, not one community, but independent and diverse communities, catch it

#RuPaulNewRaymond - Is RuPaul the New Janice Raymond?: The Numerous Similarities between the King of Pro-Slur Promoters and the Exterminator of Medicare Supported Healthcare for Women Born With Transsexualism Are Too Alarming To Ignore

Is RuPaul the New Janice Raymond?

 #RuPaulNewRaymond

Today's Medicare victory affirms the women and men born with transsexualism who seek needed healthcare and alignment in their lives, and overrules the pro-misgendering and discriminatory campaign launched by openly lesbian Janice Raymond.

Raymond obsessively led the propaganda fueled misinformation war on girls and women born with transsexualism aimed at misgendering us, exterminating our medically necessary treatment and ultimately engineering sociocide against our already established community.

Now RuPaul and his primarily gay male followers have similarly pushed away compassion and support of my sisters to instead ride the sexist tidal wave of dispensing extremely anti-transsexual slurs and saying transphobic comments on platforms which influence millions of people to condone the 'othering' and stigmatizing of an already oppressed minority.

Raymond and RuPaul have little in common in terms of personality, background or fashion style, but they do have one dangerous thing in common: Both are openly gay individuals who tricked others into thinking they were credible authority figures to comment on issues that specifically effect females with transsexual history and then misused their position to wage harm on our lives.

Both publically have been documented in wide reaching media outlets as referring to our women as "men in dresses".

Both publically ridiculed and invalidated the need for the transsexual community's transition-related healthcare.

Both loved anti-trans slurs.

Both have been promoted on non-trans media outlets as "experts” instead of the uncompassionate and phobia-mongering brutes that they truly are.

Obviously Raymond's crimes cost lives, but it could also be measured that inciting phobia and dehumanizing an already oppressed minority group has grave consequences if done on a massive scale, such as media defamation.

So while we celebrate today's victory against the closure of Raymond's concentration camp, let's learn from the past and strategize on how to counteract the forces who want to normalize dehumanizing and misgendering defamation in the media.

Blake Lively’s Derogatory Slur Infested Elle Feature Proves How Mean Spirited Hollywood Publicists Will Be To Get Their Clients Free Publicity, Yuck

Being from California, I would watch Gossip Girl because I wanted to learn about NY pop culture, so I was sad to hear one of the actresses, Blake Lively, say such insensitive and marginalizing comments in Elle’s March issue. Furthermore, I pause to consider if her publicist arranged this provocative rant. If so, oppressed minorities do not appreciate being used and ridiculed just for starlets to gain press. As a former publicist, I would never do something like this, but not all publicists have consideration for endangered minorities who are working for acceptance and human rights.

I volunteer for MAGNET- Media Advocates Giving National Equality to Transsexual & Transgender People. Not too long ago MAGNET organized a phone call campaign when CW, the network Lively works for, allowed the same slur Lively used, “tra**y”, to be used on the reality show “High Society”. Our campaign helped CW make the decision to edit out the offensive slur. There's a strong chance Lively, and definitely her publicist, were aware of their networks run in with the derogatory word.

After meeting her a couple times, my impression is that she is a kind and talented person. Maybe she does not know how offensive the word is. I am more disappointed with her PR team because they are the professionals, and everyone in the PR business knows by now the controversy associated with the dehumanizing slur.

A plea to publicists who advise their clients on sound bites and quotes is let’s please show some professionalism, if not compassion and respect for people who were born with birth challenges by not suggesting derogatory words to our clients. Put yourself in the shoes of the people you are harming.

Moving forward, I do hope Blake acknowledges the pain, alienation, and even violence associated with that word, and apologizes.
