Well, it’s official. Once a cat sleeps on a manuscript, it’s all over. She’s now my cat. Or I’m her writer.
NYS Being Sued By Feds
This is really unbelievable (but predictable) to me. New York State is being sued by the Feds for our old voting machines.
Considering the crap that’s gone on in Ohio, I’m really wondering if what the Feds have a problem with is who we vote for, not how. Just keep Diebold out of the modernizing, please.
At least we come up with 4 when we put 2+2 into our cranky old machines.
New Feminism Category
You know, it seems kind of funny that only tonight did I decide to add Feminism as a category for my blog posts. Maybe it was one of those ‘so obvious I missed it’ kinds of things.
I’m thinking of adding a Relationships category as well. Let me know if you think it’s a good idea (or not).
Now all I want to do is figure out how to alphabetize my category list.
Trans Partners Presentation
I’ll be doing a presentation tonight, Thursday, March 2nd, for the TransNYC group. I’ll focus solely on partners, to give these scholars a little bit of an idea of the innumerable variables of trans relationships.

1. As far as I can tell, we’re rare in talking about admirers. Why do you think so many trans sites avoid the subject?
I’d say there are a couple of reasons. First, the large majority of gender-related web sites are hosted by girls whose feminine existence is still a very limited affair. In terms of sheer hours these gals have little time to fully consider their sexuality as precious femme time is wrapped up in improving their appearance. Attraction to others is limited to other transgenders & females. Alas, the sometimes crude approaches from neophyte male admirers aggravate the situation.
Admirers are an important segment of the gender community. They provide beauty affirmation and serve as healthy outlets for relationships. Like the girls…most admirers didn’t necessarily choose to find transgenders highly appealing. Nature just wired them that way.
Gays weren’t initially very accepting of transgenders. Admirers suffer the same sort of fate. We’ll get there.
