Randi Rhodes Redux
I guess Randi’s transphobia isn’t something new. I edited the clips down (I edited them for time, I did not rearrange or manipulate the content). If you want to hear the segments unedited, watch the youtube videos below. I find it rather ironic that Randi’s reaction to Ann Coulter’s personal attacks is to attack Ann’s body, gender identity and sexuality. Podcast: oh, and for you gays and lesbians that are feeling left out, Ann’s turning people gay!

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Randi Rhodes Redux” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to transgender identity and history, while also engaging culture, identity, and representation. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2007 at Transadvocate.com, “Randi Rhodes Redux” provides dated evidence of how transgender identity and history was being argued in relation to culture, identity, and representation. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
No dominant policy frame was detected in “Randi Rhodes Redux.” Its policy relevance, when present, is therefore likely indirect: the article’s treatment of transgender identity and history may shape later arguments about institutions or public practice rather than proposing a specific rule.
