Hello all.
There are so many things about which I could be blogging today, and I am hopeful that I will get to them this week.
1) Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is gone, which is great for all my GLB friends who want to serve openly, not great if you oppose the war machine anyway, and irrelevant (and kind of insulting) if you are a trans person who is, yet again, ignored in the great rush of “ZOMG we are the best community EV-AR.” Overall I’m glad it’s gone – it was a terrible, hurtful policy – but I have a lot of mixed emotions about the ongoing placement of transgender policies vis a vis gay/lesbian/bisexual policies (not really all that mixed – but I will deconstruct myself later).
2) ENDA. Now that DADT is over, we can start working on ENDA…or can we? Some trans people love the way the current ENDA looks. Some really don’t. I am still trying to figure that out for myself. More on this later too.
3) GLB people who may or may not be gender queer, and who may or may not actually be trans, referring to themselves as a [orientation] [man/woman] in a [woman/man]‘s body or with [incongruous junk]. These people are making me insane.
4) Lorne Michaels and the T word. I don’t think I need to clarify right this moment.
Anyway. Consider this a preview – more to follow, and all that.
Happy almost Solstice.
