Hello Welcome to the Spender Hamilton Blog News Slots Carmen Carerra and Laverne Cox ejumicates Katie Couric when talking about SRS and genitalia Don Lemon was once smacked down from Chaz Bono about Trans 101 while the subject of the interview was to be Trans Representation in the media. The Question: How does it feel to shave? I am sure our trans brothers and sisters look at the genitalia question as a personal one as Carmen Carrerra ably pointed out. Laverne Cox put it quite simply that those questions take away from the reality of living as trans. Ms. Cox points to the murder of a woman who was catcalled then beaten and murdered when it was revealed she was trans. I would also say that the same situation could’ve happened for CeCe McDonald but she was jailed for defending herself by an overzealous prosecutor. I am pleased to tell you that she has since been released afters serving 19 of her 42 month sentence. I want to see how I can help appeal to Governor Dayton to pardo...

ALL RISE! Court is now in session The Honorable Judge Terry Purdue Presiding Thank You All, Please Be Seated Today I am called to rule on an issue that is in fact contentious. It is Gay Inc v. Trans Group. There are allegations on both sides that neither side is doing enough to advance gender equality. Gay Inc says that they are willing to work with Trans Group in order to pass GENDA, a statewide law that would protect transgender and gender nonconforming individuals as well. Trans Group alleges that since NY enacted marriage equality in the state, the Transgender community has been left to its own devices. Experts on both sides have testified of the history of SONDA and how GENDA was a component taken out to ensure passage. SONDA did pass the Senate with a vote of 34-26 on December 7, 2002 and went into effect on January 16, 2003. The allegation that the trans community was told that they'd come back for them is also lodged and is true. From 2002 on, GENDA has consistently pa...

Hey Yall, I recently was very appalled to find out that a person who liked OUTspoken for Equality (a group I admin on facebook) and commented on a recent post was and I quote " I'm a big fan of Gay and Lesbian equality BUT I resent the trans group using gay & lesbians as their ticket to ride. " However, the problem is this: Don't gay and lesbian community always hear that from the Homophobic elements of the Black Community too? The "Civil Rights Mantra" is often used against us because we can 'de-gay ourselves' I've recently watched a movie that made it seem like gay equality would take away the progress of the black community, and that to say that the black and gay struggles are similar is to open Pandora's box. Well, I submit to you that it is already opened and protections based on race haven't eroded, and still homophobic elements of the black community use the conduct v. race card. But what's even more troubling is w...

This is a conversation I had after replying to the absurdity of the 'controversy' of Chaz Bono being on Dancing With The Stars. I am sure I can ask any kid who may watch Dancing With The Stars--or hates the show--about it and they'll probably say that they like the dancing. I really don't care much about the 'life' of the person who is dancing unless they've done something like say...beat their wives and have been in the news for violent crimes foreverand a day. Yeah, I guess we can have some people like that on the show but not Chaz...does this make any sense to you? This is just like the argument that seeing gay couples is going to make someone gay. Anyone see the similarities? So when Christina suggested that I post this on Fb and I think it is a great firsthand look at the daily realities that trans individuals go through. (I almost want to send this to Senator Gallavan's Wall...) ===================== Hey Terry, Just a thought...if y...
