Glenn Close's Film 'Albert Nobbs' About A Transsexual Man Is Nominated For Golden Globe For Best Supporting Actress Performance by Janet McTreer







The highly moving period drama ‘Albert Nobbs’ follows the story of a man who was born with female anatomy named Albert Nobbs, played by Glennn Close. Nobbs is a male servant who must hide his transsexual condition in order to survive.

Actress Janet McTeer, Close's costar who also plays a transsexual man, has been nominated for a Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a supporting role in a motion picture.

I saw the film and was moved to tears. Some of my tears stemmed from pain I felt for the characters, and some of my tears were stirred by the powerful beauty of humanity that triumphed over fear and violence.

Janet McTeer is very deserving of this award. I will be planning a Golden Globes party just to root for her, stay tuned for the details!

Here’s a touching song from the film’s soundtrack written and performed by a favorite of mne, Sinead O’Conner called ‘Lay Your Head Down’:

Meghan Stabler Stabs Americans Born w/ Transsexualism in Back. HRC, Gay Inc & Religious Right Will Use as Ammo to Misgender Us.



Meghan Stabler is the sole token trans board member of the notoriously transsexual-phobic HRC. Stabler had sex reassignment surgery to be female, yet has made the alarming compromise to be legally recognized as male to marry a woman in Texas. This is dangerous on so many levels.

1- Stabler is a public figure, so their actions are seen by and influence many. If law makers and society at large see that Stabler made the compromise to be legally male just to hop a legal loop hole, then they could very well expect the rest of us to as well. This is very dangerous to our legislative rights.

2- This is a blatant form of misgendering and invalidation of people born with transsexualism

3- This shows that Stabler cares more about homosexual rights than transsexual rights, a fact the HRC knew before they selected Stabler to be their Token Trans Tom and overseer of those “annoying yet tolerated “tra**ies”/unwanted stepchildren of the LGB”t” “community”.

4- This act further co-opts transsexual people into the homosexual agenda against their will.

5- This act finally makes evident the lack of pure intentions of Stabler. It has long been rumored that Stabler was just using the HRC appointment as a networking opportunity for her non-activist career, ego-boosting and because she has irresponsible stars in her eyes. This betrayal of transsexual community on Stabler's part makes those rumors seem true

6- The amazing hypocrisy and contradicting messaging Stablers choice sends is very stigmatizing and will have long lasting results. Integrity has been exchanged for shamless self-serving desires

7- The fact that the Gay Press is ignoring this issue implies that they too know what Stabler did was unethical and wrong, but they are uncomfortable reporting on it

8- White male privilege in the form of late-transitioning “transgdner leaders” who led most of their lives as heterosexual men, married w/ kids and alpha male jobs is causing serious harm to the medical and legal rights of transsexual people and is severly assaulting the feminist aspect of our plight

9- The religious far right will use this story as an excuse to keep all transsexual people legally recognized as opposite to their actual sex

10- Those in the gay and queer communities who are transsexual-phobic and do not see us as our actual gender that we were born with will also use this story as a further nail into the co-opting of transsexual people into a 3rd gender box and transgender scam-brella reservation

How selfish & destructive could Stabler be?

The Token Trans Toms who Gay Inc commissions to sell us out are malicious and selfish.

But we must not give up

If HRC has an ounce of integrity concerning what’s best for the transsexual community, they should ask Meghan Stabler to resign

I should have known since Meghan had the word "Stab" in their last name, Stabler, that we as transsexual Americans would sooner or later be stabbed in the back.

For those of us who were actually born with transsexualism, and are not cross dressers, impersonators and transvestites, we must see the alarming danger Stabler’s act of betrayal threatens us with. We must act now and counter the repercussions. If not, one by one states will follow in Stabler’s condoning of misgendering us

GLAAD Says The Huffington Post is "Reinforcing Gay Stereotypes", But What About GLAAD Reinforcing Misrepresentation of Transsexual Medical Condition?!


GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is protesting The Huffington Post for "reinforcing gay stereotypes", but what about GLAAD reinforcing misrepresentation concerning the transsexual medical condition?

GLAAD makes a lot of people with transsexualism SAAD and MAAD due to GLAAD's BAAD miseducation about transsexual issues.

"Do unto others what thee shall have done unto you"

In full disclosure, I do write occasionally on The Huffington Post about transsexual, transgender and intersex issues, but that is not why I’m writing this blog post. I'm writing on this 'GLAAD protests The HuffPost’ story just to point out GLAAD's hypocrisy. As a member of the transsexual and intersex communities, I personally suffer the consequences of GLAAD misrepresenting the transsexual medical condition

For almost twenty years GLAAD has sought to erase the term transsexual from existence and replace it with transgender. I'm sorry (actually, I’m not sorry), but what does a heterosexual married man who is a transvestite once a month, a gay male drag queen who makes fun of women on stage and a gender queer activist have to do with a woman who has a transsexual medical condition? Absolutely nothing. Yet according to GLAAD's intellectually dishonest and lazy grouping of numerous groups of people they don’t understand, they are all inaccurately labeled as "transgender" and tossed in a 3rd gender reservation. This provides numerous problems for women and men of transsexual history.

GLAAD needs to stop ignoring us. I am already hearing reports that some people in the transsexual community are getting ready to press charges in court against GLAAD if they keep up their identity theft, misinformation and transsexual-phobic media guide

We are done being misgendered, objectified, erased, mocked and disrespected by GLAAD's media (mis)guide. We are fed up with them endangering our well-being. We are sick of them implying we are the same thing as a man in a dress. And we are through with them denying our medical condition it's valid legitimacy and accurate narrative.

So the gays and lesbians (no transsexual people work there, yet they think they can (mis)speak for us) who work at GLAAD don't like how it feels when they feel people are being homophobic? Well then, they need to understand that is exactly how the transsexual-phobia in their media guide and GLAAD enforcing "transgender umbrella ideology as fact whether transsexual people like it or not" makes us feel.

What's it going to be GLAAD? Will you continue to aid the religious far right, radical feminist lesbians who are anti-transsexual and discriminatory insurance/health care companies in misgendering us?

Hypocrisy much?

Read the following articles that explain more in depth why GLAAD's media guide is very problematic and inaccurate pertaining to the transsexual medical condition:

(from The MAGNET Source): 'MAGNET Protests Adam Carolla’s Transphobic Comments; Rejects His "Apology”'

Adam Carolla's "apology" is not being accepted by many advocates and community members

Producer/TV Host Eden Lane speaks out against Carolla's anti-transsexual comments

From MAGNET's website:


Adam Carrola adds to his long resume of offensive and prejudice/fear based outbursts with a new podcast where he went on a rant against people who are transsexual and transgender. He asked "When did we start giving a sh-- about these people?" He adds that the LGBT community should "shut up" about speaking out for equality because they are "ruining his life", when in reality, his fear and hate mongering is what is “ruining people’s lives”. He advised the LGBT coaltion to exchange the acronym LGBT ("Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender") for "YUCK.", again, the only thing “yuck” is Carolla’s transphobia, homophobia and sexism.

Carolla recently just made his defintion of an apology: “I’m sorry my comments were hurtful. I’m a comedian, not a politician.”


Ashley Love, an organizer with Media Advocates Giving National Equality to Transsexual & Transgender People (MAGNET), comments on Carolla's verbal violence:

“We reject Adam Carolla’s excuse of “being a comedian” as to why he was promoting transphobia, sexism and hate speech. We know many successful comedians who don’t use fear mongering and transphobia in their material. This propaganda endangers the well-being, public's understanding, human rights and the lives of people born with a transsexual medical condition. Carolla should know there is an epidemic of unemployment, violence and marginalization in the transsexual and transgender communities due to the ignorance and fear his comments are adding to. The networks, advertisers and listeners associated with Carolla now or in the future should know that transphobia and hate is not funny or acceptable.”


Eden Lane, known as “the first transsexual broadcast journalist” on mainstream television, and host of 'In Focus TV' ( program on PBS affiliate KBDI ), responded to Carolla's defamatory comments. She tells MAGNET:

“I was deeply disappointed to hear the degrading anti- transsexual remarks Mr. Carolla made on his recent podcast. Mr. Carolla might benefit from some kind of training so he understands the injury he can do to young people not only of a transsexual or transgender experience, but to his young fans who now may think Carolla’s “comedy” is an acceptable reaction to people who are born different."

Don't Get Any Ideas! Americans with Transsexualism Don’t Want "3rd Gender Status” Like Nepal Just Legislated


RESIST BEING CLASSIFIED AS 3RD GENDER.


It was just reported that Nepal will now have a "third gender status" class for people to register in. This is a victory for those who are gender non-conforming, gender-queer, or even transgender. But what about people with transsexualism who may be tossed in that reservation against their will? When insurance and health care companies, and some governments, are getting away with denying people with transsexualism their rights by saying they are not the gender that they are, it's frustrating when some gender deconstructionist activists mirror that same rhetoric when they enroll people with transsexualism into their sociopolitical agenda against their will.

Sounds like identity-theft to me, and the high majority of Americans with transsexualism also consider the co-opting and misrepresenting of their medical condition by gender deconstructionists highly problematic and transsexual-phobic.

If some extreme transgender-deconstructionist ideology activists have their way, all Americans born with transsexualism will also have to register as "third gender status" against their will like many overseas countries are doing. So forgive us people with transsexualism when we get a little feisty and resistant against Gay Inc and it's Transgender Subsidiary using their big platform to spread misinformation that harms people with transsexualism, their medical legitimacy, health care rights and narrative!

Stop the misgendering of people with transsexualism! Call the American Medical Association today and ask them to back up their statement that clearly states that our birth condition is natural, and our human rights are being violated when our medical rights are deemed “unnecessary” by insurance, health care and government officials, and sadly, even by some transgender-queer, 3rd gender and gay advocates.

Why should transsexual rights be appropriated and trampled on by gender deconstructionist agendas?

NAACP Excludes Transsexual & Transgender Panelists From 'First Ever LGB"T" Town Hall' Next Monday





The NAACP is having its first ever ‘LGB"T" Town Hall’ meeting next week at their conference, BUT it's a shame they have NO transsexual or transgender people on the panel. So why don't they just be honest and call it the "LG" Town Hall? How many times do transsexual or bisexual people get shut out of these events? There are numerous Black TS or TG advocates in LA, so there is really no excuse. I was all happy to go until I heard they SHUT US OUT, AGAIN. When the highest number of hate crime murders in the LGBT and transsexual communities are Black or Latina TS or TG women, one would think these groups would be more inclusive and on point, but I guess we are an embarrassment to some. Also, they could have had more lesbian women on the panel as well. Anyways, if you're gay, have fun at the LG Town Hall. Us "tra**ys" will be busy being INVISIBLE... as usual...sigh
