Washington, DC, USA. It is time for all people of transsexual history to speak with one voice at the same time and protest our inclusion under the "T" in the unfathomably selfish transgender umbrella erected to exploit an association with unrelated GLB activism.
We wrote those words last year in a modest effort to set down a marker for assessing where we are and calling for action to get us to where we will (and shall) arrive. It is time for an update on our progress.

 Lisa Thompson & Sharon Gaughan Friday, 09 December 2011 Atlanta, GA, USA. A sex discrimination decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Glenn v. Brumby et. al. (6 December 2011), is an important victory for civil rights advocates, establishing numerous and important points of law.
The decision affirms that sex-discrimination statutes and court decisions apply equally to transsexuals. Discrimination based on nonconformity to gender expectations inherently constitutes sex discrimination.

 Lisa Thompson & Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 23 October 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Darkness lay across the face of the void — and we don’t have a dime to our name.
They told us growing up we were building a dream. They said go to school and jobs would be there. When there were cars to make and guns to bear we were right there. Peace and glory lay ahead.

Gender Identity? We may as well shine some sunshine in that direction. It isn’t that we will be gratefully welcomed into the discussion. Our interests lie in science and living a full life, not dime-a-dozen social studies or gender theory.
But we are women and females, neither of us a male campaigning for acceptance as a woman because he wishes to present as one today. His world is not a woman's world. His world is not ours.

 Lisa Thompson & Sharon Gaughan Saturday, 02 July 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. Case study research represents an important opportunity for transsexual inquiry, with benefits that extend to the entire population.
For many years, there was little meaningful investigation into transsexualism, with efforts largely confined to particularly undisciplined versions of social science research. The full array of scientific tools lay unappreciated and unused, with scant attention and funding for biology, hard data collection, analysis, experiments, surveys, multipl

Fairfax, VA, USA. The grave of Stella Walsh lies at Calvary Cemetery outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Walsh was a two time Olympic medalist in the 1930s while running for her native Poland, winning the 100 meter gold in 1932 and a silver in 1936 at Adolf Hitler’s Berlin Olympics. After she become a U. S. citizen in 1947, Stella married and lived with her husband in a modest, middle class home in Cleveland.

 Lisa Thompson & Sharon Gaughan Monday, 01 September 2008 Springfield, VA, USA. Here at TS-Si.org, we have unusually good discussions with our readers. Some people comment in public (see the comment block at the bottom of this column), while others choose to send us private mail via our Contact Form. The questions we get are numerous and sometimes the comments argue conflicting views of just where our judgment is defective.
We are charged with all sorts of mutually contradictory crimes against humanity depending upon the viewp |

 Lisa Thompson & Sharon Gaughan Tuesday, 19 August 2008 Fairfax, VA, USA. What is a transsexual? Is there such a thing as a non-op transsexual? What is the difference between a non-op transsexual and a full time crossdresser? Are transgender and transsexual just different spellings for the same thing? Why are so many people now saying they are transsexual now?
Why have so many post-ops started using the alternative terms in place of transsexuality in an attempt to clarify their position on the subject?
The answer to these questions and more lay in

Washington, DC, USA. The alarm goes off at five in the morning, we are due at the festival at eight where we will assemble our booth, put up banners and signs, place handouts strategically to be distributed.
The rain the night before prevented us from loading the car, so we spend an hour or so demonstrating how much stuff can fit in an aging Buick. We bring everything we have we think we’ll need, only enough to fill up the day so that the trip back will be somewhat lighter.
