UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey On Fallon Fox "You can Cut Your Pecker Off..but its still not fair."

Women's UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey recent words about Fallen Fox are just as problematic as Matt Mitrione's were.

Rousey told The NY Post she’s "researched the topic extensively and has come to an informed opinion"..(about transsexualism).

Rousey says if Fallon Fox should get into a position to fight her she would but only if the UFC wanted her to because “she can try hormones, chop her pecker off, but it’s still the same bone structure a man has,” Rousey told The Post. “It’s an advantage. I don’t think it’s fair.”

Rousey told the USA Today she has competed in judo against hermaphroditic athletes, she had no qualms about it because "that was something they didn't choose." Fox, on the other hand, is a different case.

"It's not something that happened to her," Rousey said. "It was a decision she made. She should be aware in her career after that, it's going to be an arduous path. I don't know why she's surprised by that. It's going to draw a lot of emotions."

For the record no one has ever made a 'choice' to be transgender. Transitioning and the following procedures are not optional to the ones who undertake them. True, not everyone needs all of the operations, hormones or therapy. What a persons needs depends on that person's innate gender expression.

And what if Fallon Fox should over come all odds and become the next Bantamweight UFC Champion? Rousey's transphobia becomes apparent as said that would be "...a very socially difficult situation.”

Note to the NY Post and USA Today: Journalist ethics compel us to link to our articles once we have published homophobic, transphobic or racial defamation verbatim. Publishing them over and over only amplifies the pain to the offended party, re-victimizing Fallon Fox.



California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) Reminds Insurers Not to Exclude SRS

The Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) has sent a letter instructing insurers to review their policies and identify and correct any exclusionary language that would prohibit a transgender person from similar procedures available to non transgender persons.

These procedures include transitional costs and Sexual Reassignment surgery. Insurers have 90 days to submit the corrections for review.

Source: Transgender Law Center "The DMHC directive applies to HMOs and PPOs regulated by the Department of Managed Health Care. In 2012, the Department of Insurance issued non-discrimination regulations with similar protections for health insurance regulated by the Department of Insurance. Combined, this means that all California health plans and insurers cannot arbitrarily deny medically necessary services provided to other policy holders or members simply because the patient is transgender.

The newly issued DMHC letter instructs health plans to revise current plan documents to remove exclusions and limitations related to gender transition. For transgender people, how and when they transition is typically a private decision made with their doctor. The American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Family Physicians have all deemed transition-related care to be medically necessary for transgender patients."

Vatican City Jack Offs ( Maybe the pope?) are Stealing Transgender XXX Porn


I'm not going to bash anyone for watching porn, even porn they didn't pay for >until now that is. Most all of us have accidentally on purpose looked at images like those at least briefly, for a few hours. So what's the harm? There's a few people in the Vatican City who are watching the porno transgender porn. But who could it be?

I don't know, maybe one of the 58 cardinals, 293 clergy with status as members of pontifical  pornographic representations or 62 other members of the clergy. Maybe one of the 101 members of the Swiss Guard or the remaining 43 are other lay persons? It could have been any of the nearly 100 percent male citizens of Vatican City.
Here's the Rub


After these self righteous pious assholes made me cry condemning me for being who god made last Christmas eve they went back to their bedrooms and jacked off to stolen pornographic movies of people just like me. THATS FUCKED UP.

I am always interested in reaching more of our diverse global trans and allied community so I often research who is visiting planetransgender and what key words were used to find our blog. Without fail searches from religiously oppressive countries like Saudi Arabia, and the Vatican include the pejorative "tranny" and "sex". Those visits are always short because they don't care about us, they just want to masturbate. They quickly leave and head to a porn site.

Now I'm going to extrapolate. Get your head outta the gutter, I said extrapolate not masturbate. Sheesh. OK so I said I wasn't going to condemn anyone for watching porn 'until now' right? Well, I'm calling these Christians out. Not just because they condemn us but because the very same people who star in these movies, the ones they condemn, age and when we age, people stop filming them and they end up, god forbid, like me, on the streets. Prostituting myself. Gang and drug dependent. Alone. Beaten and hopeless.

I'm not implying any of the actresses they were watching had life experiences like mine but this is my 2,002 post since 2007 and I can't venture how many of those articles were about alienated trans people murdered while engaging in or being in the vicinity of gang activity, illegal drugs and known areas of prostitution.

With out hope.

How many of them like myself only needed that one break to make it? How many of our brothers and sisters became so saddened by these Vatican Assholes trans bashing us they turned away from the lord? Forever is a very long time.

And these Vatican city jack offs could care fucking less. Like I said they don't visit web sites to learn who they are condemning. They could care less. Assholes.

One of the actresses had a different and valid complaint about the Vatican's religious duplicity. Tiffany Starr released the following statement Monday evening on the Daily Dot:
I have always identified as a Transsexual Woman and got into porn to be able to express my open views of sex. I consider myself bi-sexual but really enjoy women and other transsexual women. My scene with Sheena Shaw was steamy, affectionate and raunchy so I can see why whomever at the Vatican watched picked us. Porn isn’t as taboo as many people try and make it out to be. For someone to know what they enjoy and pleases them isn’t taboo but a great form of self expression. I am sure Christians feel it was sinful as part of their morals but I think its great that this person was taking time to enjoy himself. What I don’t agree with is downloading it from a tube site. Tube Sites steal the work of producers and stars who work and spend money to produce them only to have them illegally downloaded from a site, thus “thou shall not steal”. So as much as I am pleased that he enjoys my body of work, no pun attended, I wish it was done the correct way. So with that being said I must show my compassion and charity work and if the person himself wants to email me tstiffanystarrxxx69@yahoo.com then I would be happy to send him a free autographed DVD and a personal thank you.

Cristan Williams and Masen Davis Debate John #NoLuu4U Kavanagh


Masen Davis Executive Director of Transgender Law Center and Cristan Willaims of the Transgender Center debate Representative John Kavanagh, author of HB 1045.



A naked trans person is committing a lewd act by default according to Kavanagh. It follows then if a naked cisgender person and a naked trans person were standing side by side in a place of public accommodations the trans person would be subject to arrest if the facilities owner or manager decided so. Kavanagh's law would not pertain to cisgender people.



Kavanagh is still living in the Jim Crow era. His previous bill made it illegal for a trans person to be in public accommodations that did not correlate with there birth certificate unless they were looking after a minor or cleaning it.



MMA Cage Fighter Matt Mitrione facing Community Service Benefiting The Transgender Community For Fallon Fox Hate

Two days after his 19-second knockout win over Philip De Fries, UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione has had his contract suspended by the promotion for calling Fallon Fox a "lying, sick, sociopath, disgusting freak.". according to USA Today.

This is making headlines everywhere but in the world of MMA cage fighting calling someone a freak happens everyday, so what really got Mitrione suspended?

So I transcribed (roughly) The MMA Hour interview Matt Mitrione which starts about the 18 miniute point.

Mitrione: In the heat of a moment you can have a full rational thought. When I was starting my ground pounding against Phil I though about my options and immediately thought since he (Fallon Fox) is a Lioyd Irvin student maybe he doesn't know how to defend against a rape joke. He definitely knows how to apply a rape joke but he doesn't know hoe to defend it"

Ariel Helwani : All of a sudden you win a fight and you get your swag back thats nice to see.

Mitrione: My favorite joke is the last one, this is where it gets kinda gruesome..."

"It's amazing how life imitates art. The lead antagonist Buffalo Bill is a woman beater that pretends to be a woman well maybe instead of being the queen of swords Fallon Fox should consider being the king of the buffaloes."

"I have not seen a man beat a woman like that since Chris Brown beat Rihanna. That is just exceptional how he (Fallon Fox) beatss unknowing woman like that. Anyways my last joke since he's obviously intent on braking all the rules on fighting, if he ever fights again which I hope he doesn't if he loses to a woman will he charge that woman with a hate crime since that woman opposes on his freedom as a tranny?

Ariel Helwani : Why do you hate Fallon Fox so much and why do you keep callin a 'she' a 'he'?

Then looks directly into the camera no longer reading from a card explains:

"Because he's not a she. He had a gender change not a sex change he's still a man for 31 years, 31 years, thats a couple years younger than I am, he was a man and 6 years of taking performance dehancing drugs you think it's going to change all that? Thanks ridiculous. That's a lying sick sociopathic disgusting freak! And I man that because you lied on your license to beat up woman. That' disgusting you should be embarrassed of yourself...the Florida licence deal that's an embarrassment to us we should all protest that. The woman thats fighting him props to you I hope you beat his ass and I hope he gets black balled and never fights again."

The possible penalties Mitrione might face may include a finical penalty which would be a huge hit on his finances now he finally won a bout.

But the last thing Mitrione would want would be the penalty UFC Executive Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence Epstein detailed when akec about the new code of conduct in February:

“For example, if you make a discriminatory comment about a certain community, you would be required to provide some community service to that community,” Epstein said. “In our view that’s going to turn into a benefit. It’s easy to criticize people you don’t know, but once you get to know somebody, once you get to experience what they’re all about it sort of changes you as a person in a way that money or fines could never do.”

I think that would be a fine idea.

Berkeley Police Directing Coroner to Withhold Indefinitely Autopsy Of Trans Woman Kayla Moore Who Died In Police Custody


Source: KPFA Evening News, 04.06.2013

In February KPFA News reported on Black transgendered Berkeley resident Kayla Moore's death in Berkeley Police custody, after a violent struggle with police at her apartment on Allston Way on February 12th. Earlier this week Berkeley Copwatch, which has been conducting a citizen investigation of Moore's death, contacted KPFA to say that the coroner's autopsy report on the cause of Moore's death will be withheld indefinitely at the request of the Berkeley Police Department.

KPFA spoke to Berkeley Copwatch founder Andrea Prichett, who said that she and other Berkeley Copwatchers plan to attend the Berkeley City Council meeting on April 30th, at City Council Chambers, 2134 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way in Berkeley, at 7 pm.

Listen to the interview here.

On February 12th, 2013 Officers from the Berkeley Police Department killed a transperson named Kayla Moore. In the days to follow, BPD would remain silent on how somebody could just die in their custody.

As the weeks passed, Berkeley Copwatch was able to get some information from the coroner, and on February 28th they held a press conference to call for an investigation into Kayla's suspicious death.

Berkeley Police would still not come forward with any information.
On March 12, one month after the killing, a autonomous protest would be held in Berkeley by concerned people from around the bay.
Instead of bringing answers, Berkeley Police brought undercover units, who would fan out into the march attempting to identify "leaders" of a leaderless march. The march started in People's Park, would go to the police station, and end back by the park without incident.

If Berkeley Police put as much time, money, and energy into the investigation of Kayla Moore's death, as they did on this particular march, the "investigation" would have been done weeks ago.
