I look forward to being able to share some of my recent work related to LGBTQ education.

Take care.

I know I’ve had a history of nasty comments on this blog, which probably led you to make some understandable assumptions about me. Now maybe this isn’t the best place to be posting this, but I’ve had a really difficult time this past year and it’s left me rather angry at the world. I’m not looking to be treated like some kind of victim, I’d just like to help you to understand where a lot of these posts have come from. I’m woking to fix my attitude, as I’m finding all it’s doing is holding me back from getting out of the current spot I’m in and moving forward in life. I really don’t want to be seen as a ‘shitty shithead’ either, so that’s another pretty good incentive as well.

On a side not, as a trans woman myself, I appreciate your work as an educator of issues like these.

I have very little problem with conflicted patriots like Bradley Manning, but I have a major problem with shitty shitheads like Lillian

I am committed in my own work to address awareness and education of subjects like gender identity.

Here I was informing people of the rally, and giving a very little bit of background from what I know of the case, which did not include Manning’s gender dysphoria.

Here’s a quote from the chats she had with the hacker Adrian Lamo: “i wouldn’t mind going to prison for the rest of my life, or being executed so much, if it wasn’t for the possibility of having pictures of me … plastered all over the world press … as [a] boy … the CPU is not made for this motherboard …”

There’s a lot more info out there on the dysphoria she was suffering during her time in the military. I just don’t get why so many people who support what she did, don’t respect her wishes to be identified as female.

“The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus,(7) etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others, as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders, serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God. A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it.”

Henry David Thoreau, “Civil Disobedience”

Also at least 100,000 people had access to what he had access to (he was only a private BTW) Don’t you think that, not only did he expose US malfeasants, but on top of that he exposed the fact that ALL of this information (and probably much higher classified) are available to every single intelligence agency in the world that has any sort of skills already has all these documents and more.

But hey, what Manning allegedly leaked was embarrassing, so he must be punished (Actually he is being made an example of so nobody dares speak out)

Hint: American Exceptionalism is an idiotic idea that the folks who founded this country were trying to get away from. If you think whistleblowers should be executed, you are the one committing treason.

This has nothing to do with San Francisco… this is a simple case of treason by an individual who thought he could outsmart everyone else and not get his ass in a crack.

Enjoy Leavenworth wimp!
