You’ve never been to LipstickAlley? Black women are not taking any of this BS. Those ladies are very vocal about that.

Sounds like I need to add that to my reading list.

"You're Kiddin', Right?" on YouTube is quite enjoyable as well.

OMG I am in LOVE! Thank you for this link.

Everyone seriously stop what you're doing and watch this video now. It's under five minutes. "Dick pandering"! She talks about Chase Strangio on NPR.

Just listened to that, she had me howling (again!). Mentioned before, "You're Kidding, Right?" has become my nightly show. Karen is smart, eloquent, and so funny. Great guitar player too! I love her stories about her life, anecdotes. She's great company. :)

Agreed. Often when some crazy/depressing trans story breaks and sometimes on lesbian stuff too, I browse LSA just to take in the realness. They still get some TWAW proselytizing coming at them but they are just not having it and they do not mince words. And it does not sound needlessly cruel, just like the sane discourse of normal women who have not had their critical thinking skills socialized out of them.

LSA first came on my radar on gender issues in their breaking down the misogynoir of the TWAW discourse, especially that which had been spewed by Laverne Cox who has explicitly blamed black women for male violence against trans-identifying males, which is apparently a PC take in this era.

I haven't heard of it, to be honest. Thank god there's a corner of the internet (besides this one) that isn't putting up with this bullshit.
