It turns out the woman who Rush called a slut is also a pro-trans advocate, too, who has written on the discriminatory practices of health insurance companies which don’t cover GRS. And this from an article that wasn’t happy and excited about it except to expose her as “out there”.
So, trans community, what we’ve got here is an amazing synergy of arguments for bodily autonomy and personal agency. In other words, a trans feminist has just helped clarify exactly why the trans & feminist communities are innately related and politically coherent.
Sounds like my kinda bandwagon.
In the meantime, something like 28 advertisers have pulled out of Rush Limbaugh’s dumb-ass show. Amazingly enough, it doesn’t take an advanced degree for people to figure out that a man who thinks taxpayer-supported birth control means the public owns women’s bodies is, well, an atavistic, arrogant jerk.
Or, as we used to say: FLUSH RUSH.
