So we've all heard, by now, about the U.S. government using it's authority to coerce ABC to cancel Jimmie Kimmel because he Trump's tender feelings. The government wants us to believe that it was "a business decision". Very well. So stipulated. Now it's time for us, ALL OF US, to show them this was a bad business decision.
Below is a list of ABC's biggest sponsors, and a suggested template to use in your emails, Facebook posts, and postcards. Yes, snail mail is far more effective than any electronic medium.
This may well be a tipping point for our democracy. If enough of us take this simple action, we CAN turn the tide.

First of all cancel your subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu. Let them know why you are doing this.

Contact these companies and let them know they will no longer receive your patronage.

Allstate
Target
Iphone
Showtime
Progressive
Versace
Bose

Use this template for your communications.

Greetings,

As I am certain that you are aware, the ABC television network has suspended their late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, after pressure from the federal government.

As a major advertiser on ABC, you are now complicit in this drastic overreach by our government. I urge you to take a stand against this shocking abuse of power and, more to the point, ABC's abject failure to take a stand for our First Amendment rights. You are hereby notified that until you do so, publicly, I will not be buying any product or service that your company produces or delivers, and I am urging everyone I know to do the same.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So... I've been tossing around an idea for the podcast, and I believe y'all can help. But first, let me provide some background...
For years my co-host and I have bemoaned the flood of disinformation about trans people, and of course, countering that is why we started the podcast in the first place. We firmly believe that "ambassadorship" (see Episode 4) is key to countering all that ignorance and disinformation. And we believe that for one simple reason - Most people, by far, do not know a trans person, or at the very least, don't KNOW that they know a trans person.
To that vast majority, we are an unknown, and for many, it's easy to be afraid of the unknown. The right, of course, is exploiting that for all they're worth.
So I've started brainstorming for ways that we might change the playing field a bit. We know that "ambassadorship" makes a huge difference, enabling people who know nothing about transgender people, and who may have been on the receiving end of the right's fear mongering campaign, to actually GET to know us, to put a human face on something that they, at best, only know ABOUT. We're thinking that we need to find more ways to help all those people to actually come to know US, not just about us.
To that end, we're soliciting your input. Yes, we've had several "my story" episodes, but here we're looking for something to fill that "knowledge gap" that most people have when it comes to understanding what it's like to be us, to deal with gender dysphoria. The haters are trying to fill that gap with scary nonsense, so let's counter that with frank and honest information about what it's ACTUALLY like to have gender dysphoria. Since the experiences of each of us are unique, we want you to share YOURS with our listeners, because those experiences are also going to have things in common, not the least of which are pain and suffering. It's one thing to hear "experts" talk about gender dysphoria in clinical terms, about su***de rates, etc. It's quite another to hear A PERSON talk about their personal experience, to put that "human face" on the subject.
So please, give this some thought, and let us know what you come up with. We'd be delighted to have you share those thoughts with our listeners "on the air", but if you're not comfortable with that, we'd be happy to tell your story for you. But please, please, PLEASE... share those experiences with us.

Thank you so much. :)

Episode 35 - Christian Nationalism is now live.
Our own Reverend Doctor Jeri Ann put together this episode about what we see as a dangerous trend in politics in our country; the rising influence of Christian nationalism. Now, neither of us are Constitutional scholars, but we both were educated at a time when every schoolkid was taught about that document and The Bill of Rights. In this episode we're going to discuss the beliefs and philosophy of "The Founding Fathers", and what they did and did NOT intend when they drafted and adopted The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution.
Give us a listen find out why we believe that the Christian Nationalists represents a treasonous threat to our country.

Fascinating interview with Brandy Schillace, the author of "The Intermediaries: A Weimar Story", a new book about the Nazi's attacks on The Institute for Sexual Science in 1934 Germany. The institute, run by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, as the world's clinic to offer gender affirming care. The book, BTW, is going on my reading list right now!

Historian and author, Brandy Schillace discusses her new book "The Intermediaries: A Weimar Story." The book traces the story of the founding of the Institute for Sexual Science, the world's first center for homos*xual and transgender rights.

Look at the poor, disillusioned MAGA fool. He's seriously bummed about not getting to see the "Epstein files".
We warned you, snowflake. Trump is a pathological liar and an adjudicated ra**st. You were NEVER going to see evidence that implicated him in a child s*x slave ring.
