Howdy, ducks! Hope you have a happy thanksgiving–and I have a post up at Tiger Beatdown about the V series and the backlash against feminism! Enjoy.

I know I’ve been away. Thank you for all your concern about my mental health: it is improving as my withdrawal stabilizes. Also, I’m currently on a transcontinental sojourn, which means that I have nice weather (I am typing this from a patio in California) and that can’t but help my mood.

And that means more yummy vitriol, coming your way now!

My latest post at Below the Belt is up:

It must be something in the air: we seem to be having another round of the Great Cisgender Debate. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the question is whether or not it is appropriate to refer to people who are not trans with the term cis, short for cisgender, as trans is short for transgender.

You can read it here. And while you’re at it, there’s my companion piece down below, this post on cis and this post on the linguistics of cis at Billerico, and genderbitch’s take on helen’s post as well. When you’re done, you’ll be as exhausted about the subject as I am!

I’m off to the museums! Enjoy!

This made me laugh, which I needed to do.

I finally got around to doing something I’ve wante to do for a while–expand the blog list and categorize it. So we now have feminism, queer pride, and, of course, Teh Tranz links to the right.

I’ve also started a category called Friends of the Blog to express my appreciation to anyone who follows the blog or has contributed with their comments in a productive way. If I’ve missed you or screwed up your link or something, please drop me an email.

And thank you again for dropping by!

Greetings, Ducks! We hope to have another installment for you soon–meantime, I have a post up on Shakesville for your edification and amusement.

We’re back, mostly. I ended up staying an extra day in Montreal–my friend ended up needing to be hospitalized–and yesterday was too burnt out to write much. But we should be resuming our usual schedule around here, i.e.: erratic.

Sorry I haven’t been updating more actively–been hectic here behind the scenes at TSA, plus I’m in Dallas getting my face electrocuted today. There will be posts, I promise.

Also: welcome new readers!

Also: thank you again everyone who has taken the time to comment–I love reading what you have added.

Also Also: thank you everyone who has said nice things about what I’m doing here–it truly touches me, and makes it a delight to keep pushing forward.

At least there’s one day a year we’re supposed to commemorate how wonderful the first woman in our lives are! Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who is my inspiration, counselor, friend, and support: have the happiest of days, Mom!
