O'Reilly compares Ewoks to gender identity

Who knew that Ewoks and gender identity were synonymous? O'Reilly did!



But seriously, his consistent stream of ignorance and prejudice broadcast to millions of viewers around the great U.S. of A. pains me. Interesting, how the U.S. continues to fall behind other developed nations when it comes to education.

On the other hand, the Ewok analogy is a actually a compliment. They are adorable, after all.

    I have wondered how he stays on the air before. The scary thing to me is that there are people out there who support him and are just as ignorant.
    Same with Rush limbaugh. His supporters which are quite a few have to be hate-mongers to listen to him.
    See, it was a good thing that I taught you, don't trust anyone, since most of these people hide behind a big smile.

Political Trananigans

Just the other night, for example, I attended a trans-specific lobbyist training that was presented by Equality Utah and we had another transtacular activist meeting. Go red state go! I decided to go to this training since, well, the prospect of lobbying has always been an intimidating one to me. Not just because it sounds very foreign and daunting, but, on another level, I’ve worried that my presence would do more damage to a cause I care about than aid it just due to being gender variant and having a more non-LDS-looking appearance. Even if I spruced up, I’d worried that an LDS (Latter-day Saints/Mormon) representative, for example, wouldn’t be able to relate to me in any way, shape, or form and could even be afraid of me. I feared that it would be an entirely ineffective – even potentially damaging – experience. I’ve been feeling differently about this lately, though. On one level, being out has boos...

Institutionalized Sexism & Family Lovins with a Sprinkle of Woe

A few weeks ago my grandpa called and invited me to play on the extended family softball team. I've felt a little nervous in regards to writing about extended family, but I'm going to convey my perceptions and feelings as clearly as I can, while respecting anonymity! I've mentioned my cute little ol' grandparents here a few times - about how they're both refreshingly supportive of me, especially given the generational barriers between us. My cousins n' aunts n' uncles n' whatnot have also been good, in general, when it comes to being friendly and respectful towards me and my partners. I don't get to interact with them all too often and when I do it's usually maybe a few times a year around the holidays. They interact with one another a great deal, however - presumably due to having more in common (most are married, have children, etc.) All n' all, I feel super uber fortunate to have the support and acceptance that I DO have. It's es...
