It amazes me that any radio station allows a man to speak out with such obvious hate toward a person or toward whole groups of persons. Granted the constitution grants free speech .. but when a station or stations allow hate messages on the air it just shows how corrupt some stations and the FCC are that they would allow this while prohibiting some other less atrocious things to be said on the air.

The mostly cultured and educated part of society would be reminded of the evils of hate-mongering from people like him, and why there needs to be tolerance, understanding, and reading up on the truth about the LGBTs, especially the youths. On the other hand, it takes just a few nutcases that listens this radio-man who sounds like he really belongs to a mental institution, to actually create a torrid atmosphere of violence towards the LGBT community, and at times even cause deaths.

I see trans groups as groups who are trying to muscling in on the intersex and co-opt them. Chris,

If you will please notice first, none of the people speaking are trans. One speaker is intersex but for reasons of privacy we did not include her on the public list of speakers. One of the topics covered will be the importance of making this distinction between trans and intersex. And we will hopefully discuss the sources for much of the intersex community's adversion to trans inclusion in the movement. We posted on this website because we really need to get the word out somehow. We also advertised to MANY other organizations. I am trans and I certainly do not conflate intersex with my identity. I recognize fully that intersex encompasses separate issues from trans and very differing experiences. However, I also think there is room for some overlap in rights of self-determination and autonomy. I invite you to attend the event. It is going to be very informative and hopefully inspire people to support the intersex movement (if the movement will actually accept support from those who are not intersex). Sincerely, Chris Dear Nicky,
