Crowing Over Progress
Well, TS Separatists have warned us for years that progress will never be seen under the rubric of the transgender borg. The time has come for me to admit that the Separatists were right about it all! I’m so ashamed! After all of this time and effort… we’ve changed nothing… nada. We’ve made no progress at all! They were right all along! Just kidding! The Separatists have been and continue to be proven wrong about just about every single meme they’ve hysterically pushed. The newest blow to Separatist prognostications of doom is that – as of today – it’s now “illegal” for HUD-funded shelters, loan officers and housing providers to discriminate against “transgender” people. Isn’t that just a huge bummer for the Separatists? Even worse, HUD is now asserting that “transgender” people are covered under national fair housing laws which prohibit discrimination based upon “sex!” Slide from HUD powerpoint All

[...] Cristan, who are the “separatists” that would be mad that this passed? I want to know so I can call them mean names. BTW, you deal with “facts” so I imagine you have a list who have condemned this. http://www.transadvocate.com/crowing-over-progress.htm [...]
