Rambling Faggy Tranny,
Living in Utah.
My name is Dexter and I was assigned the gender "female" at birth. Since December of 2008, there's been a whole lotta social and physical transition going on up in here. Why? To help my brain and body physiologically connect. Even though my gender identity (genderqueer) hasn't changed, after a series of social pickles (like being unable to use my debit card!), I am now dude. who'dathunk.
I'm currently a college student and a McNair Scholar majoring in Neuro/Social Psychology. I intend to nab me a PhD!

Fox News psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow may need to see a shrink
Fox News published one of the most over the top and poisonously transphobic articles I have ever read this week.
Commenting on the decision of Chaz (formerly Chastity) Bono’s decision to compete on the forthcoming ABC series of Dancing With The Stars, the cable news station published a five alarm freak out article by a Dr. Keith Ablow that evidences infinitely more ignorance than insight.
Faux News must love the stir and attention that having this Dr. Keith Ablow quack on their “Medical A-Team” generates.

This quote and contestant video are from a transwoman named Avery (#4) who has made the top ten in this contest, which has caused a bit of a controversy in her conservative city. But seriously, GO AVERY. Just imagine what this will do for her self esteem!
Go vote for her here! Easy peasy.
