Barbra Streisand began her first concert tour in almost 30 years.
Caitlyn Jenner (If I hadn’t changed my name years before she did, I would have chosen a different middle name), has shown herself to be extremely disconnected from the vast majority of transgender people from the get-go. After seeing some of the interviews she did early on, I was always unsure how she would be as a role model for younger transwomen (I was post-op a couple of years before I had heard of her). She’s proven my caution completely warranted. Even now I wonder about her real motives.
“A Little Thing Called Life: On Loving Elvis Presley, Bruce Jenner, and Songs in Between”
She went from Elvis Presley as her first boyfriend, Jenner her first husband but his second wife; and finally Canada’s David Foster,.
Presley cheated for most of their relationship, including ghost dumping the then twenty something Thompson for a 19 year old when he was 42.
Jenner did not advise all three wives that they were not marrying a heterosexual man until after marriage and children, . That 1980 “Can’t Stop the Music” movie that Jenner made with the Village People should have been a clue to the public in some way.
As for motives, I suggest “To An Athlete Dying Young” is a poem by A.E. Housman’ and the faded celeb turned reality genre fodder
Foster was Thompson’s third significant relationship of 19 years and the to biggest jerk of the three. He was with hjs wife when he met Thompson and basically offered to divorce his wife upon meeting her, was absentee for much of the time and he hijacked the reality tv show that her two Jenner sons had.
Kim Kardasian was Priscilla Presley’s maid of honor.
and as a truth is stranger than fiction, the woman killed in the Jenner literal car crash that followed the public reveal had been a bit player in an Elvis movie where she danced with him in a movie called Double Trouble.
Thompson also shares about her and Elvis watching Jenner’s gold medal Olympics and Elvis commenting that he wasn’t gay but that Jenner was hot.
Elvis Presley did many sexual things that the various Memphis Mafia revealed in books or interviews and they all said there was more they took to their graves.
Bisexual was the only thing left for Presley to be. and given his relationship with Nick Adams…
that is not accurate. a democracy majority rules in who hold office. it has nothing to do with street crime. and if it was true that the idea was to protect against the majority, then white hetero men would not still be in charge almost exclusively. and LGBTQ2 would have gotten rights decades ago
that meme makes it sound like the democrat party will take your bike while the republican party will let you keep it…

this queer blogger yay, bot, your heterosexual male right wing vs heterosexual male left wing taunts have no effect on a Canadian Lesbian, and your lack of response to the comments also suggest you are more bot than person.

I have spotted a suspected bot of a trumpian troll
Jason Harris
So because I dont agree with you and you call me a nazi I’m a bot troll you really are a joke. Oh yeah the Democrats cheated to steal the election. And I think I spotted a communist.
this queer blogger
no. because you respond like a bot, you repeat your insults and no facts and do not reply to the substance of the post you botspam spewing trash
Jason Harris
Like I was supposed to respond to you telling me about your sexual preference like I care
this queer blogger
because you are a right wing and a heterosexual white man who does not define other people or words and does not have a valid opinion based on your content of meaningless bullet points not even your words, just party whining and trash talk
Jason Harris
In your automatic response of calling people a Nazi is it batish give me a break. Have a nice night I got better things to do like to recharge my batteries
this queer blogger
indeed, you do not care about anything but your own opinion, why there is no difference between heterosexual white men and internet trolls in the first place.

David Bowie’s latest video, which starred Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard, was temporarily pulled from YouTube over its graphic content. “The Next Day” featured heavy religious imagery, including Cotillard bleeding from stigmata marks. The video sees Bowie performing in a basement bar, surrounded by religious figures, while Oldman, dressed as a priest, punches a beggar before dancing with a prostitute, played by Oscar-winner Cotillard. YouTube admitted making the “wrong call” in removing the video, and reinstated it with an adult content warning.

Hetero men who name called when refused dates are bad behaviour and any women who denies lesbians or any person a no on a date – which is a personal choice, and not a human rights issue – is part of the problem of dating.
to each person preference of desire and to the choice of sexual selection and intimate relations
Lesbians helped heterowomen get reproductive and workplace rights and then they went off and enjoyed those… then there was AIDs….. and now… this:
*article quotes*
However, our findings throw up several questions:
Who is on the wrong side of history when the GBT community operates a large-scale gaslighting of lesbians to accept the mantra that “trans women are women”; penises are deemed to be a female organ; and heterosexual intercourse is now redefined as a lesbian sexual practice? Who is on the wrong side of history when the GBT community uncritically supports a population of transwomen who identify as lesbians to coerce lesbians into having sex with transwomen against their will? Who is on the wrong side of history when lesbians’ sexual boundaries are disrespected and publicly demonised as hateful by the very charities whose purpose it is to defend them? Who are the GBT organisations protecting by refusing to engage with lesbians’ very serious concerns? Major gay, bisexual and trans organisations such as Stonewall and Pride in London should hang their heads in shame for ignoring our rights.
stop demanding dating as a condition of human rights support
that has to go both ways and to deny a no is to deny rights
lesbians do not expect their lesbian partners to be pregant and if the partner is a transwoman, it is very foolish to expect a lesbian to be sad she cannot get a transwoman pregnant. when the pregancy risk is the other way.
lesbian and gay sex is not procreative sex and that is part of it’s appeal and attraction.
Generational change is inevitable, healthy, and necessary to progress. What I am living through right now is a painful transitional moment in which some of those older lesbian institutions are still going strong, and seeking participation and funding, while a current generation of activists are distancing themselves from such events, or even demonstrating against them. Younger, queer activists were vocal in opposing the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival; right-wing religious groups once eager to shut the festival down had moved on to bigger targets. This dynamic—a next generation of feminists attacking earlier lesbian institutions and disparaging their participants as less evolved—is not unique to the 21st century or the United States; it is embedded in Jill Gardiner’s powerful book From the Closet to the Screen, which describes a 1970–71 Gay Liberation Front “zap” against London’s Gateways Club bar. As this generational shift grinds on, how should the most recent decades of cultural production be interpreted, understood, and preserved? How will we use the tools of history to examine something we know existed as an investigable community?
sometimes bisexual is a portion of a woman’s life and she later lesbians and maybe call me then, see if I am available.
sometimes a person is attracted to a person because they are unclear on their own self and what they are attracted to, that personality of a sexuality and gender person.
so when bisexual women end up with men or are a phase but are not a phase. it is as exhausting as men who say they are women and then dress like women and surgically mutilate their bodies. still not women and do not define lesbian words.
i am attracted to vagina and not interested in a penis or a reverse penis hole that lacks a gspot or cervix and a woman around it.
meanwhile. bisexual and pan women and transwomen are able to date each other, without lesbians having to date outside of our group preference arising from our individual choices and preferences.
I am a lesbian, the word is gender and sexuality in one, seeking the same expression in another lesbian.
Lesbian erasure is the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or reexplain evidence of lesbian women or relationships in history, academia, the news media, and other primary sources.
Lesbians may also be ignored within the LGBT community and their identity may not be acknowledged
attraction to someone is not done by debate or framework
it is a physical response and an emotional reaction to the personality
lesbians have no reason to be made to feel that they have to date any person, trans or not and no one should deny anyone a no
I don’t like this modern trend in the community where some are calling others bigots or trsnsphobes for being attracted to just one set of genitals and not the other. I’m sorry, but we aren’t all pansexual or bisexual. Sexual attraction is not just about gender as many would have you believe. It’s also about biological sex and always has been, whether we like it or not. It isn’t fair to label someone a bigot or judge their character for their sexual attractions. Sexual attraction is NOT a choice and never has been. That is a fact that seems to be lost on more and more people in the community these days.
nina yes. exactly. people with a wider range of attraction do need to stop calling monosexuals bigots for gay or lesbian sexuality.
and there is no reason to be sorry or that canadian as to say it to soften the view you are legit able to hold and express. and that is legit on the face of it
and the idea of removing biology from understanding people is also very bizarre, especially given dating is sexual selection and not a human rights issue.
name calling just validates a no on dating, as it is a major red flag on what a relationship would be. Dating is about attraction to and is selecting for sexual activity and as such, is a personal choice that everyone has a yes or no on, without threat of name calling, assault, rape or murder. Being rejected as a date is not a human rights complaint.
Alex C
Yeah, removing biology is a good way to put it. Some are 100% pan and 0% concerned with any biology or anatomy, and good for them, but we aren’t all like that. I can’t pretend to be pansexual to make that community happy, that would be like asking a straight person to pretend to be gay, and calling them a bigot for not being gay attracted. That’s absurd, and I hope this trend doesn’t stick or it will be very unhealthy for the community.
As a cis gay man I’ve always found the prospect of gay trans men interesting. I sometimes find myself attracted to trans men. Most that I’ve met in person seem to be interested in women though.
nina
I do not use the term cis, it has too many problems with the sissy slur and copting from black culture sounding like sis and. your identity is in your world experience. not other people’s who need other words to make sense of themself.
it is hard to have a conference on women and exclude mensuration, abortion/pregnancy and, menopause as panels and discussion/information.
nor should anyone pretend to be attracted to who they are not or use a label to avoid being name called.
bisexuals vs pansexual is a horrible debate too, bisexual being binary attraction and pan being beyond binary should be a compromise
Alex C
I personally don’t like the term pansexual because in fact there are NOT a panorama of sexes. There are 2 biological sexes, and in rare cases intersex. Pansexual refers to an attraction to multiple genders, and gender is a distinct concept from biological sex, so they really should describe that differently and not fight with people who are bisexual.
nina
bi vs pan is not about either one of those, it is about transgender. and it is about making gender something in a person’s mind and that is kinda like having to respect a person’s religion when you are an atheist.
once you reject the idea that there is only one hetero way to be either gender, it is not hard to realize there are many ways to be. personality and character is not limited to sexuality/gender and for lesbians there is one word that includes both, given faggot was not reclaimed by gay men.
Alex C
Gender is a social construct and a personal issue. I don’t like when people misuse science and try to say that science proves anything about gender. It doesn’t. Science only proves biological sex, and shows there’s a spectrum of hormonal balances, brain chemistry and neurological patterns that usually correspond to one biological sex but don’t always, and many people (including me) exist somewhere on that spectrum. We’re just getting caught up in stupid labels with all this infighting about what is factual and what isn’t, and who is “woke” and who isn’t. The science is very clear.
nina
how gender is represented and expected is a cultural concept that does vary, but that people have a gender is biology. I agree – it is also like religion vs biology, when biology says nothing about religion, and anthropology puts religion in it’s cultural place.
academics, medical, legal and then average people understanding differs across jargon specific vs casual use of language – and then are the agenda activists.
MEANWHILE:
everyone is one person and not any or all others.
“all identities simultaneously” – anyone else wondering how self loathing is driving this?
The film depicts Wagemans making the prototype for a futuristic mask, a piece of hackable body equipment that would incorporate software and could conceptually queer the notion of identity. “The story Samuel created is about documenting the making of a mask that is a fictive hacked nano-tech transhuman prototype that connects a global network of queer people who reject the mainstream appetite for immortality, super-intelligence, and well-being,” she told Dazed. “An object that you could take off and allows any uncensored software to be installed like scrambled identity – becoming all identities simultaneously.”
Drag Queens are different in tone and intention than Drag Kings, which again, the gender is not a costume applies even when respectful and celebration of the performance of gender.
which leads to what does nonbinary drag look like?
maybe time for a cultural revolution in queerdom
or past time
certainly it is beyond time to stop genderizing traits as if there is only one way of either binary gender to be expressed.
not only to owing to the diversity of sexualities’, but also that individuals are not limited to demographic tropes and stereotypes.
no. the terms do not all compound when they conflict
individuals who make up word meanings should expect others to disagree
it is a disservice to those who lived through words being in law as illegal to lightly use and mix and match, without regard to the meaning of lived experience past.
honour the past and do not co-opt across subcultures
not everything is valid and no one is required to ignore what words mean generally or specifically.
