In case you hadn't heard, Archie proposed to Veronica as the beginning of a six episode comic run in which the gang has graduated from Riverdale High and are just beginning their post college lives. So while I'm waiting for those issues to hit the stand, thought I'd talk about the TRANSGRIOT: BLACK TRANS HISTORY-JIM MCHARRIS Found another interesting story from our African-American trans past in the fascinating EBONY archives. Courtesy of a November 1954 issue of EBONY and the books Black Love, Black Resistance and Dr Susan Stryker's The Transgender Studies Reader, I began to read the story about transman Jim McHarris. It starts in his birthplace of Meridian,MS in 1924.

A proud unapologetic Black trans woman speaking truth to power and discussing the world around her since 2006 FRIDAY, APRIL 03, 2020 SHUT UP FOOL AWARDS-STILL DEALING WITH THE 'RONA EDITION The month of March is mercifully over, and we have now flipped a calendar page to April and another uncertain month of dealing with theCOVID-19 virus.
And yes, even in the midst of a pandemic fools are everywhere, and it's my job to call them out. Honorable mention number one is JERRY FALWELL JR for reopening Liberty University and thinking that COVID-19 was just going to miraculouslypass by his campus.
Naw player, it didn't. Honorable mention number two goes to EVERY REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN who laughed and poo-pooed it when Democratic leaders took action in their areas, and are now belatedly realizing Rona ain't playing with y'all. Honorable mention number three is Cubic Zirconia and Polyester erDIAMOND AND SILK.
They decided to coon it up for Trump in those horrid wigs and peddle the lie that the 'Deep State' is responsible for creating the coronavirus specifically to hurt Trump's reelection chances. And you sellouts wanna know why y'all sitting on the cookout sidelines with Stacey Dash, Candace Owens, Paris Dennard and Uncle Thomas Honorable mention number four is Idaho governor BRAD LITTLE (R) who signed two anti-trans bills into law the day before TDOV. The Idaho legislature didn't have time to deal with COVID-19, but they made time to oppress trans people. I repeat, the most dangerous transphobe is the one that has legislative power. Since Republicans are the peeps pushing these unjust laws, time for trans folks to bumrush the polls and vote our GOP oppressors out of office. . Oh yeah. Idaho. See y'all in court. This week's Shut Up Fool Winner brigs me back to the Lone Star State and my southeast Texas part of it to call out US House candidate KATHALEEN WALL.She's decided she's tired of being the money behind many areA Republican candidates and is trying to snag the GOP nomination for the 22nd Congressional District down in Fort BendCounty.
Wall decided to deploy some anti-Asian bigotryin
her fight against Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls. She ran a commercial for her runoff against Nehls that stated 'China poisoned our people.' The ad also called China 'a criminal enterprise masquerading as a sovereign nation.' Kathaleen really needs to stop talking about the Trump misadministration like that. Not the first time this cycle she has run some problematic commercials, but this one is getting her azz called out. Fort Bend County has a large Asian population, and Sri Preston Kulkarni, the Democratic nominee, has already called out Wall's racism. "Irresponsible, race-baiting comments like these from Kathaleen Wall are unacceptable and dangerous to TX-22’s large Asian American and Pacific Islander population, who are intimately aware of the FBI warning about the recent surge of hate crimesagainst
their community,"
But she doesn't care, as long as she gets enough bigot votes to propel her past Troy Nehls and into the general election. Kathaleen Wall, shut up fool! Posted by Monica Robertsat 12:00 PM

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 01, 2020 TRANSGRIOT APRIL FOOL'S DAY POSTS One of the traditions I have on TransGriot is to do a satirical or prank post on April Fool's Day.

Now what I will do is link to some of my April Fool's Day TransGriot Greatest Hits from my archive and let you enjoy those. TransGriot To Debate Cathy Brennan At Smith College RuPaul Hospitalized After Being D'R'O'P. SquadedI'm Sellin' Out

Labels: April Fool's day CANDACE OWENS DROP SQUADED The mysterious D.R.O.P Squad struck again, with their latest high profile target being Candace Owens. The D.R.O. P. Squad is a shadowy group that kidnaps and deprograms African Americans who have betrayed their community. The D.R.O.P. in DROP Squad refers to 'Deprogramming and Restoration Of Pride'. As of this writing no communique has come from D.R.O.P. Squad leaders explaining why Owens was targeted, but anyone who watches FOX Noise has a pretty good idea. Owens was found outside of her home with her makeup and hair perfectly done and endlessly repeating the late Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Womanpoem.
She was also when found holding paperwork to change her voting registration to the Democratic Party. Owens was taken to a local psychiatric hospital for observation after being tested for the COVID-19 virus. Police are looking for any clues that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the D.R.O.P. Squad, but as of this time have no leads inthis case.
Meanwhile security for SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas and HUD Secretary Ben Carson has been elevated in the wake of this latest appearance of the D.R.O.P. Squad. And TransGriot readers, CHECK TODAY'S DATE...... Posted by Monica Robertsat 12:00 AM

TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 2020 DNC STATEMENT ON TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY DNC Chair Tom Perez, DNC LGBTQ Caucus Chair Earl Fowlkes, and DNC Member Dr. Marisa Richmond released the following joint statement on International Transgender Day of Visibility:****
“Today, we celebrate and honor transgender and non-binary people and the contributions they have made and continue to make to our country and the world – from Stonewall to the halls of public service. We celebrate artists and entrepreneurs, scientists and athletes, authors and activists. We admire all members of the transgender and non-binary community for their bravery and strength. And we remember all those who have lost their lives to tragic acts of transphobic violence. “While we celebrate the lives of so many transgender leaders and heroes, we also recognize the significant legal, financial, and social barriers transgender and gender non-conforming people face on a daily basis and recommit to fighting all forms of discrimination through the statehouse, courthouse, White House, Capitol, school board, and town hall. Sadly, we don’t have to look far for examples of such injustice. Just yesterday, Republican Idaho Governor Brad Little signed two anti-transgender laws. “Democrats stand with trans people in their push for full equity. We will not allow Trump and the Republican Party to drag us backward to a world that is less tolerant, less inclusive, and less just. House Democrats unanimously passed the Equality Act last year, and we look forward to a Democratic president signing it into law next year and undoing Trump’s historic record of anti-trans actions. While we still have a long road ahead to achieve full equality, we will neverstop fighting.”

TDOV
TDOV 2020-THE TREND LINE IS POSITIVE This particular TDOV was already guaranteed because of the COVID-19 crisis to be an unusual one. We have William Barr, the current US Attorney General, using debunked junk science to argue that transgender girls and women are NOT women in a federal lawsuit filed to deny transgender women the right to compete in women's sports. On the eve of TDOV we lost longtime trans advocate Lorena Borjas in New York to the virus that morning. Later in the day, Idaho governor Brad Little (R) decided to embrace his trans oppressor gene and signed two unjust anti-trans billsinto
law.
Rest in power and peace Lorena. You will be missed by the Latinx trans community and all who loved you. And yes, it goes without saying we've already had five murders and counting of trans folks from Puerto Rico to OKC to NYC. So yes, while TDOV 2020 is getting off to a crappy start, we still have to remember why this March 31 day was founded by Rachel Crandall back in 2009. TDOV is to not only recognize our existence to society, it is to also celebrate our success. And over the past year we've had a lot tocelebrate.
The FX show _POSE_ is not only getting excellent ratings with its trans cast, there are also trans folks like Janet Mock making history behind the camera writing, directing and producing the show. VA Del Danica Roem (D) got reelected to her Virginia House seat for another two year term, and in the process became the first out trans person REELECTED to her political seat. Hopefully the same thing will happen for CO state Rep Brianna Titone (D) later this year. Sarah McBride is also running for office in DE, hoping to become the first out trans person ever elected to a state senate seat. Our fourth out trans judge was just elected to officein
Illinois in Judge Jill Rose Quinn. In Minnesota, Council members Andrea Jenkins and Phillipe Cunningham are still on the job and serving together on the Minneapolis CityCouncil.
I'm also proud of my Houston homegirl Jessica Zyrie, who continues to rip NY Fashion Week runways and make history on the _Project Runway_show.
And I can't forget my Houston homies Diamond Stylz, Mia Mix and Zee, who continue to drop knowledge on one of my fave podcasts in Marsha'sPlate .
That's before I talk about you peeps who are MVT's (Most Valuable Transpeeps) for just having the courage to step out of your doors, walk down the street and commit the revolutionary act of unapologetically living your daily lives. And time for a well deserved shout out aimed at my trans younglings. Whether you're in elementary, middle school, high school or college, you continue to make me proud just by being your fabulous selves. We have some talented, smart, beautiful, handsome and amazing people in our trans community. As I like to constantly remind y'all, your family expands, not contracts after your transition, and it crosses international borderson top of that.
We are everywhere and in every profession. We are your sons, daughters, siblings, uncles, aunts and neighbors. All we want is the opportunity to contribute our talents to society without being harassed or jacked with. We are not going to be erased from society, and if you trans oppressors try it, we will fight you tooth and nail ever millimeter of the way.One
of the other positive developments on this TDOV 2020 that needs to be discussed is increasing support from cisgender peeps who unapologetically embrace us. Some of them are high profile Hollywood stars like Selenis Leyva,
who supports the community and her trans sister Marizol. Others are athletes like Dwyane Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union, who have made it clear they support their child Zaya's transition, and pushed back against the vitriol coming from ignorant Black community transphobes about it. And yes, there are cis politicians out there at all levels of government who unlike Republicans, are willing to stand up and defend our humanity and human rights instead of gleefully attacking them. Trans amorous men are starting to come out of the shadows and openly declare they love trans women, you can chill with the attempts to shame them about it, and there's nothing you haters can do or say that will deter them from pursuing the women they love. . So that's where we stand as this TDOV 2020 happens during the middle of a pandemic. While we've had some setbacks, the overall trend line is one of positive growth and recognition that trans people exist, and we aren't going away. Happy TDOV 2020 everybody!

MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2020 IDAHO GOVERNOR SIGNS TRANS OPPRESSIVE BILLS INTO LAW The Republican controlled Idaho Legislature hasn't addressed the COVID-19 crisis, but had time to shepherd two bills through their legislature aimed at oppressing trans people. On the eve of the Transgender Day of Visibility, Idaho's Gov Brad Little (R) signed two unjust bills designed to oppress trans people inthat state.
And consistent with the pattern in other parts of the country when it comes to the anti-trans bills, they used Republican women legislators as the front people to do their transphobic dirty work. House Bill 500, sponsored by Rep Barbara Ehardt (R) forbids transgender girls from competing in sports against cisgender girls, and applies to all teams at the high school, public college anduniversity level.
It also contains a provision in which if a high school or college female competitor is suspected of being trans, the school is allowed to conduct a physical genital exam on that person in addition to doing blood and chromosomal testing. Even the International Olympic Committee (IOC) doesn't go there now after doing something similar since the 1964 Tokyo Games. The sex tests the IOC administered until 2000 were often inconclusive in addition to being invasive and dehumanizing. Then again, since when did the Republican Party at any level of government ever miss an opportunity to gleefully legislate oppressive laws against women, be they cis or transgender? The other bill Little signed into law. House Bill 509, prevents trans people from changing the gender marker listed on their birthcertificates.
That one is probably headed to court, because in 2018 Idaho lost a court case in which they were ordered to allow Idaho trans people to change the gender marker on their birth certificates. The Idaho ACLU was quick to condemnLittle's
actions.
> "The ACLU of Idaho condemns Gov Brad Little's decision to sign > discriminatory, unconstitutional, and deeply hurtful > anti-transgender bills into law. > "Leaders from the business, faith, medical, education and athletics > communities will not forget this decision or what it says about the > governor's priorities during a global pandemic," said the ACLU in a > statement. "The ACLU will see the governor in court. We encourage > all Idahoans to email, call, and tweet Gov. Little to express > outrage and disappointment at wasting precious taxpayer resources on > blatantly anti-transgender bills at a time when we should be coming > together for the health and wellbeing of our people." > The ACLU encourages Idahoans to email the governor > at governor@gov.idaho.gov and call him at 208-334-2100 and tweet > him @GovernorLittle to express their disappointment. All trans people want to do is be able to compete in sports, and using BS excuses dating back to the Jim Crow sports segregation days repurposed to discriminate against trans feminine athletes will not be tolerated by our community. We'll see you in court on both of these unjust bills. Posted by Monica Robertsat 7:00 PM

SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 2020 BOOK REVIEW- 'MY SISTER'One
of the things I love to do is grab a good book and take the time to read it. But because of my busy schedule I haven't to my chagrin been doing much of that lately. The COVID-19 social distancing and sheltering in place has given me an opportunity to sit down and wade through that pile of trans themed books on my to read list. Just in time for Transgender Day Of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31 is the release of the book by Selenis and Marizol Leyva entitled _MY SISTER- HOW ONE SIBLING'S TRANSITION CHANGED US BOTH. _ I finally received my copy yesterday and read the book in five hours. Yes peeps I can actually read that fast. It's a trait I inherited from my mom. Also didn't hurt that there's not much to watch on TV these days. The 248 page book is broken up into three sections, in which Part One focuses on Selenis' and Marizol's life before transition. Part Two, as she transitioned, and Part Three life as Marizol's true self, told in alternating .chapters by Selenis and Marizol. There are times when their life journeys were similar as a cis and a trans woman, and times where there were challenges unique to both. In Selenis' case, she had to deal with the internalized issues of not being seen as pretty because of her Afro-Latinx heritage by extended family members and society. The challenges of fitting in as a high school student at the famed La Guardia High School of Music & Art andPerforming Arts.
Her struggle to make her acting career work before she blew up with her award winning role as Gloria Mendoza on _Orange Is The New Black. _Dealing with marriage and motherhood and at timesdepression.
Selenis is now on the Disney Plus show _Diary Of A Future President_, playing the single attorney mom of two kids, one who grows up tobecome the POTUS.
As Selenis was dealing with all of this challenging stuff going on in her own life,, she was also concerned about the baby sister she loved in Marizol. Being annoyed at times when her clothes and shoe closet got raided by Marizol who was exploring her femininity And grieving the loss of her baby brother while getting adjusted to Marizol being in her world Selenis is also an ally to our trans and SGL community. Marizol' had some challenges similar to her elder sister in terms of trying to fit in, but others that were all too familiar to those of us who are transgender. The frustration of being in a body that wasn't congruent to the person on the inside. The bullying not only at school but outside of it by society.
Learning that
there was a term that described that disconnect. Finding other trans people and hanging out in New York's TBLGQ plus community. And there was the ugly side of it. Marizol talks about being in an abusive relationship. Dealing with the fallout from being molested as a child by her birth father. Overcoming depression, alcohol and drug abuse. Navigating the challenges that come with a social and physical transition. She talks about her time living at the Ali Forney Center, and eventually getting comfortable in her own skin while being supported and loved by Selenis . She also talks about the challengesof
being trans and Latinx I thoroughly enjoyed the book and getting some insight on both Selenis' and Marizol's lives. I'm looking forward to eventually meeting them and one day getting this book autographed..

FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2020 SHUT UP FOOL AWARDS- DEALING WITH THE 'RONA EDITION Like many of you I'm chilling in my crib now experiencing the third day of Houston's 'Stay Home Work Safe' shelter in place order. It's basically my life, so for now I'm good. Amd since it's Friday, let me get to this week's fools. Honorable mention number one is Lügenpräsident, AKA DONALD TRUMP. Just pick a lie he's told this week. FYI: Lügenpräsident means in German, 'lying president'. Honorable meeting number two is FOX NOISE for enabling his lying azz. Honorable mention number three is JERRY FALWELL JR, who still seems to think (do evilgelicals every think?) that COVID-19 is a joke.
Honorable mention number four is Texas Lt Governor DAN PATRICK. Potty Dan went on FOX Noise and basically stated that your elderly relatives should be willing to die to save our economy. Naw Potty Dan. How about you and ever other Republican lead byexample.
This week's Shut Up Fool winner is the late LANDON SPRADLIN. He was the evilgelical COVID 19 denier who claimed the virus was ahoax
,
and put out a misleading meme on March 13 claiming the media was 'using COVID 19 to hurt Trump'. Gee, where have I heard that propaganda line before? He fell ill while returning from a trip to NOLA on March 17, and during his time there initially tested negative for COVID-19 in New Orleans. He was ill with bronchitis and pneumonia, and Spradlin's pneumonia got worse during the drive back home to Virginia. During a stop in Concord, NC, he wasn't breathing as his wife Jean struggled to pull him out of the car. In the NC hospital he tested positive for COVID-19, and also had double pneumonia. He died on Wednesday from the virus he claimed was a hoax. Spradlin's wife Jean is still hospitalized As my Birthday Twin Deirdre Square said on my Facebook page, "Ignorance will get you killed. Believing a liar’s lies will get youkilled."
And to piggyback off what she said, not taking COVID 19 seriously will also get you killed. Don't be a fool. Listen to what the experts are telling you.Stay safe.
