I Repeat-Quit Using '->-bleeped-<-' To Insult Cisgender Women

http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/ciaras-not-transwoman.htmlYou know, the ignorance of Perez Hilton, some of my fellow African-American peeps and others on transgender issues shines through at times.
Nowhere does it shine more brightly than with this bull->-bleeped-<- in gossip blogs and elsewhere on the Net of calling cisgender women that you're either jealous of, are over 5' 7" or have some androgynous features transwomen as an insult.
For example, my fellow Texan Ciara Princess Harris (she was born in Austin, so she's a Texan even if she grew up in the ATL, peeps) has been getting much hateraid from some elements of the Black community who continue to call the singer and Wilhelmina Model a transwoman. The rumors got so crazy it was claimed that she was intersex and had made the transgender declaration on Oprah.
