Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Interview Of Microsoft's Megan Wallent For The Radical Guy Show

Megan WallentA few weeks ago I participated with Ethan St. Pierre, Josh Cohen, and Dana Zircher to interview Megan Wallent for TransFM's The Radical Guy show. As many may recall, Megan was featured in early March on ABC's Nightline as the Microsoft executive who's transitioned from male-to-female.

Here's a link to the now podOmatic podcast of The Radical Guy article and audio of the interview.

In the interview, Megan talks about everything from her family (partner Anh, the children Peri, John and Samwich), details behind why she chose the name Megan, and her reaction to Microsoft spending more money on their browsers (for those who don't know, she has been responsible for delivering multiple versions of Internet Explorer to the market) -- and much, much more.

It's a really interesting interview by a interesting group of technical/community interviewers. Would highly recommend the interview, even if I wasn't involved in creating it.

Is it wrong?
Of me to wonder less about how she chose the name name Megan but more of how she came up with the name Samwich for her child?

I admit...
When I first read it, I thought it said "sammich."

BTW, Autumn, your link is borked--that page doesn't exist on transfm.org.

Girls, Lisa. Boys kiss girls.

Link fixed...

Somewhere in the process of writing the post, an extra /TransFM was added to the end of the link for http://www.transfm.org/TransFM.

Thanks for the link!
It's great to see Megan doing so well.  I was at Microsoft until last November, and in many ways it's an extremely positive company for transfolk: protection for gender identity and expression is written into their non-discrimination clause, and they've done a lot of good work in terms of insurance as well.  Just like any other place, there are a few anti-trans bigots and a lot of people whose lack of familiarity makes them uncomfortable; and the general harshness and attacking nature of the culture can make it very unpleasant.   Still, most of the people and groups are extremely supportive; and it looks like things are working out well in this case.

Damned
Of course you know she is damned for a) Working for Microsoft, b) Working on Internet Explorer especially IE7 which broke secure websites on a lot of firewalls and the such  and finaly c) naming one of her kids Samwich.  On the other hand she gets major brownie points for being a out proud MtF and very talented, if evil, person.
