house negro: A black person who rejects their cultural identity to please the White Man. Generally less offensive than house n*gger.

is a former blender we pulled the trapdoor lever on earlier this month because of her widely offensive language. Although I was the one who actually pulled the trap door's lever, it was done in consultation with Pam over several days. Below the fold is a copy of the post that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak -- which was removed from The Blend's diary section when we deleted her profile.

But before we get below the fold, I think we need to point out a fresh example of why she saw her profile deleted. In Cathryn's blog enough of the nonsense, Cathryn referred to me as the "Pam's House Blend Blog house tranny" (emphasis added):

When trans identified people approach women's space as trans, they are confirming the accusations of the radical separatists, they are essentially trying to colonize or invade women's space. This would seem to be a no brainer to me, but is a rather simple concept that immediately raises the back hairs of the transgendered crowd. It apparently is so threatening a concept that Pam Spaulding's of Pam's House Blend Blog house tranny, Autumn Sandeen, branded it hate speech! Sandeen is someone who is actually trying to raise money to go to the Democratic Convention for the specific purpose of causing a bathroom incident! Holy crap Batman. If this isn't a perfect example of someone who claims womanhood on the one hand and denies it on the other trying to invade women's space, I have no idea what would. It would seem self evident to me that if you are not woman identified you do not belong in women's space.

The racial undertone in Cathryn's statement directed towards Pam and me in this comment, as well as in the two other places she repeated the house tranny phrase, are...well, in an understated way let me say that the phrase as used is pretty uncivil.

Anywho, since I now have a couple of colorful individuals who have given me colorful endorsements, I'm going to soon add the current Blend-o-licious endorsement from Cathryn Platine to my about me page, as well as my previous endorsements from Peter LaBarbera. I believe I need to begin wearing these statements as the badges of honor these statements are.

Email from Autumn

I just received an email from Autumn telling me my viewpoint is not welcome on Pam's.  Essentially, despite over a decade of fighting for trans rights, mentoring transwomen and even housing them and raising GLBT funds is not enough to give me the right to speak towards the viewpoint of thousands and thousands of women of operative history especially regarding the umbrella use of the word "transgender" to refer to us against our will in an act of verbal violence.  That the TG point of view on this is the only valid one.....

I didn't trans my gender, it was consistent from my earliest memories.  I identify as a woman, a feminist woman.  I don't deconstruct my gender, I celebrate it.  In fact I revived an ancient Goddess tradition where we do just that.  I am not a fan of Judith Butler, even Mary Daly repudiated that position in Amazon Grace.  I'm done with these trans discussions here, the TG agenda is the only one allowed voice and I view it a position of insanity.  I deny the right of any transgender to define me or claim to represent me in any fashion as they have absolutely nothing in common with me.  My body is the same as other women.....as is my life experiences.  I don't have bathroom "issues".  When someone claims I am transgender what they are really doing is denying my womanhood in an attempt to drag me to a third category.  When they claim to speak for me under some umbrella usage they are doing the same thing.  When they attempt to silence me for objecting they are engaging in the use of the same old tried and true tools of patriarchal oppression.  It's that simple.

It is my belief that the excesses of those pushing the transgender agenda are becoming so apparent they have sown the seeds of their own eventual destruction.....and anyone who demands entry into women's space as a trans anything is exhibiting absolute alpha male behaviour.  Women belong in women's space, if you don't come there as a woman, you absolutely do not belong there.

The statements in the last paragraph were deemed to be harmful, threatening, abusive, hateful, or widely offensive per our Pam's House Blend Terms Of Service, which were clarified in the diary Transgender? Transsexual? Trans-Ghettoized?. The trapdoor's lever was pulled by me after that diary -- after a private message warned her about a previous use of harmful, threatening, abusive, hateful, or widely offensive language.
