I Support and Stand in Solidarity with Cathy Brennan
Cathy Brennan, a lesbian, was attacked at the New York City Dyke March this past weekend by a group of trans women and their supporters, one of whom was an organizer of the march. Cathy was one woman and she was targeted by a group of people, one ringleader of which acknowledges she “lost it.” Cathy used her one voice to speak her own truth and assaulted nobody.
This is despicable behavior, unconscionable and disgusting. To be silent about it when speaking up is possible, to ignore it, to fail to acknowledge it, would be wrong. Hence, this post.

Quiverfull Mom Stands By Trans Partner | Religion Dispatches
An interesting article — in which my worlds collide — about a couple who grew up in the Quiverfull movement, married after parent-supervised courtship, then left the Quiverfull community. The church had delivered Melissa Reyenga’s partner an ultimatum: stop acting like a woman or leave the church. So they left the church and Reyenga’s spouse outed herself as a trans woman.
My Quiverfull blog is here.
