Rut roh. I knew there was gonna be backlash for Sinclair Sexsmith. S/he decided to  remove all the transmen because of dissenting comments. What will Sinclair do if some of the Butches transition? Who is going to check i.d.s? Apparently none of these people were contacted about their inclusion. Aside form the usual uproar from those who want to make sure transfolk stay outside of dyke space, some transguys are upset over the appropriation. What a mess.

TOP 100 HOTTEST BUTCHES

AND TRANSGUYS

Our liberties are bound, and tolerance is the key to all our freedoms. TOLERANCE has to start with all of us. Early on with Butch-Femme.com, a large number of the members organized a petition asking me to make the site exclusive only to Butches and Femmes and to kick all the transguys out. Some of those people who signed the petition way back when have since transitioned or gone on to partner with transguys. I’m reading some blogs where Butch Voices is also suffering from such a divide. With my next project, I hope to build a bridge for all my brothers and find out what our differences really are.

We are in a revolution together, people. Open your arms and your eyes.

quickie update

Court with Christine on Tuesday. I don’t know what she expects to gain further but she’s all revved, sending threats that I won’t know what hit me. The truth is we made a sensible agreement long before we broke up. She reneged on our agreement and packaged a complex lie as a lawsuit. I am not hanging any hope on justice, however. I’m just going to suit up, show up, and tell the truth as I have all along.

SHIT! Just as I was writing that, her attorney called and said Chris wants to ask the judge for anotherrrrrr extension. Apparently she is too ill to fly. The last time she used that excuse, I checked her myspace page and read she was looking for dancing shoes for some hoedown western party. I just checked her page right now and apparently she is throwing a party for Pride this weekend. I hope she isn’t sick, but I really would like to get this shit over with already… Christ, she has been dragging her lawsuit out for almost two years now. She never even shows up for her own continuancy hearings and at this point I think I am better acquainted with her attorney than she is! I already grieved my losses and really want to move on without her hands on my throat. I don’t have anything else for her to take. Seriously.

The price dropped by 20% on that adorable little cottage I fell in love with. I wish like hell I had $37k. M wouldn’t even have to switch schools, and it’s in a really sweet little neighborhood. Lookie.

M is having a pretty good summer. She is in folklorico dance class and a drama troupe. learning guitar from a book I gave her, and studying tarot with me. She reads alot, which is a MIRACLE. The meds have evened out some and I’m really seeing some improvement with her helping me and babygirl out around the house. Since she was so often in charge before her momma died, sometimes she has a hard time understanding that she aint running things. The chubby little girl who came into my life at age 11 is now  leaning on 14, so an overcompensated pull toward independence is to be expected. I guess. I just buckle down on RESPECT and don’t tolerate anything less. It’s exhausting sometimes, but my girls are the biggest blessings in my life.

babygirl went back to work today. Yay! Now let’s hope this poor lady she’s caring for lives for more than a month.

Me? I am working on a big site for a writing institute, a site for a chef that’s on hold for the moment, and finishing up a site for a chiropractor friend this weekend. There is a 900 pound box of files I picked up from my old attorney that I need to organize to defend against this lawsuit. Hate that. The judge already said he won’t grant her another extension so hopefully this will be DONE soon.

MIss all my faraway friends. I think I am gonna fly up to California inAugust while M is in camp. Got some flyer miles I need to use! :)
