Bilerico Fiasco

I was very happy that Bil Browning of The Bilerico Project was excited to publish my response to a rather controversial take on transsexualism that was (is) making many in the trans community upset.

The original post is here:

'No' to the notion of transgender

And my rebuttal is here:

'Yes' to the reality of transgender

I actually think that Ronald Gold raises some interesting points on things that I have thought quite a bit about myself. Unfortunately, he wraps those in a rather inflammatory and misguided take on what it is to be transsexual.

Anyway, for now, I'll leave this at providing the links and later I'll expand on this, because I do have some kinder, gentler thoughts on Mr. Gold's post. For now, though, I've got a date. It is Friday night and all.

Sadly I came to this at 3am Saturday, and Mr. Gold's post is gone, and so is he. Would've loved to see what caused all the fuss. Your argument was brilliantly executed, Suzanne.

Yep, Leslie is right. The post is down. I do wish I could have read it, Suzanne.

In her most recent entry, Suzanne posted a link to someone's LiveJournal blog that has the post. As well, Helen Boyd reposted the article in her own blog.
