http://www.bilerico.com/2009/12/whats_the_plan_answers_to_your_questions.phpIn a comment thread on Becky Juro's post about the Ron Gold controversy, a commenter asked me some very important questions. And since so many others have asked similar questions, I thought I'd put my responses into a blog post to further that important discussion.
I am new here, and trying to determine whether tbp is a "good fit" to be reading. though it is disheartening to know that some editors felt that the legitimacy & validity of trans experiences are "controversial" and up for debate, I trust that it's still possible the majority of contributors here could be worth reading.
you have said that this is an inclusive blog, that (essentially) mr. gold's post and its approval by the editors was an isolated incident, and thus I/we shouldn't paint the blog with a broad brush based on the inaccurate and blatantly transphobic piece that he wrote. if I am correct in this (and feel free to call me out otherwise) then I have a few questions...
I think you hit most of my major points pretty well and I'm happy to answer your questions as best I can.
