When Obsessive Cyberstalkers Unite

Truth be told, the gang at Shame On You Transgender Edition has basically switched over from bloggers to cyberstalkers and have joined forces with Mr. "Diane" Lask, who has been obsessed with me for some time.  Ms. "Mark" Cummings slipped up and revealed this when he mentioned that someone had sent him the current set of photos he has posted.  These photos are from a collection that Lask assembled some time back, and which he likes to trot out.  

Now, I have written about Mr. Lask in the case, including the warning that anyone encountering this person should tread cautiously.  Lask stalked a person from Canada for years, tormenting him at every opportunity, simply because they had a disagreement on Fidonet years ago.  Lask was still going after him as recently as two or three years ago even though that person had actually fled the Internet to escape Lask.

Now, clearly, the truth hurts, and Ms. Cummings and her husband, "Jessica" are feeling a lot of pain.  Ms. Cummings tries to claim I am obsessed with them.  Yes, I admit, I have posted quite a bit on them.  This is a blog that deals, among other things, with the idiocy of transgender extremists.  And lately, they have been a primary example of this.  Granted, a somewhat obscure example that its creators want to imagine is more a factor than it really is, but still, a perfect example of the genre.  Other blogs have been relatively quiet.  

I mean, really, why wouldn't I write about their ridiculous garbage?  They went totally ballistic because I simply pointed out that I do not identify as "transgender."  I haven't seen such a complete overreaction in some time.  The results have been hilarious.

I admit, I can be harsh.  I don't mince words.  But at the core of everything I write is logical and objective arguments.  What do they have?  The same tired lies from an obsessive cyberstalker who, quite fortunately, has nothing new to offer….

Ten years ago, Lask and I met, when I offered him the opportunity to sleep on my floor for a few days when he was, quite literally, homeless.  I was living, at the time, in an SRO, because I was trying to get back on my feet after a relationship ended, and I chose to move to San Francisco to start over.  Lask, it turned out, had been homeless for years.  I have suspicions of how that came to be, and I suspect it might have involved some improper behavior when he was working in Nevada, but that is just speculation.

Some time after that, when Lask became angry with me because I would not comply with a request of his, he began targeting me.  At first, I thought it was someone else, but then Lask made some comments that let me know it was him.  Simply put, he said some things that only he would have known to say.  I don't appreciate betrayal, especially when it involves lies added on to truth.  The game was on.

Now, one of the stunts Mr. Lask has pulled for years, is to post photos from an unfortunate article published in the SF Weekly about the SRO I lived in.  That article was, well, a rather odd piece of journalism that still puzzles me a bit.  While the place I lived was not perfect, it was also nothing like the article described.  In fact, parts of the article, rather bizarrely included accusations apparently made by the organization that operated the building,  They were fighting with the person they hired to manage the building and in an attempt to fire him (he was protected by a union) they made false claims about him being a member of a gang, and some other silliness.  He eventually ended up receiving quite a bit of money from them in a settlement.

The photos in the article, which are supposedly rooms in the building, are often presented as showing my room.  Nope.  To be honest, I'm not sure whose room they show, or if they are even from the building where I lived.  The room where I lived looked quite different.  Then again, the place described in the article seemed quite far removed from what I experienced there as well.  I never, for example, saw people lined up to buy drugs.  I have no doubt that drugs were used by some residents.  Shoot, this is San Francisco.  I don't care where you live, chances are good, that at least some of your neighbors are using some sort of recreational drug.  The question is not if, but what…

But, times change…  I no longer live there.  Mr. Lask has no idea where I live now.  He has lost track of me.  He has only his old lies that he keep repeating every chance he gets, rather obsessively.  He has created an entire fantasy life for me that has little resemblance to reality.  If he does know anything current, he has the good sense to keep quiet about it, as revealing it might prove a bit costly.  Stalking is a crime, and if he has current information, it would certainly lead to charges.

Mr. Lask also has some photos, including one he doctored up, from an even I attended.  I did not want my photo taken, and mugged at the camera a couple of times.  Not photos I would choose to have published, but one which show, as one person said, "A middle aged woman, enjoying herself."  But, hey, the tactic is simple.  Publish a photo, and make fun of it.  People see what they want to see.  Mr. "Jessica" Cummings makes a snarky, and rather bizarre comment about "pigtails."  Which is kind of weird, since I have NEVER worn my hair in that style, and am not in any of the photos.  He also makes some remark about me being 59 at the time.  Nope, not even close.  But, I guess Mr. Cummings finds ageism funny, even if it is imaginary.

Ms. Cummings and her husband apparently don't like having the truth exposed.  I do find it very telling that they offer nothing in the way of rational argument.  They can't counter the actual arguments I make.  When their "investigative reporters" try to, they wind up falling back on an argument that amounts to "You disagree with me.  So, that means you are spewing… Hate.  Transphobia.  Hate. Transphobia."  Talk about a broken record.  They can't defend their absurd positions, and they have to resort to truly lame cyberstalking tactics.  They are typical transgender poseurs, and they simply repeat the same crap they have learned from other transgender poseurs.  Granted, it is easier to just repeat the same mantra than to actually stop and examine their lives and deal with real issues.  If they did, they might realize that they are making a mistake, and seek help getting their lives back on track.

A hint people:  Building your entire life on crossdressing fantasies does not work.  Eventually the fad will run out, and people will get tired of pandering to your fantasies, and you will have to face reality.  And it won't be pleasant.

Of Grifters and Drifters and Other Scam Artists….

Ms. "Mark" Cummings, in a comment that got blocked for a rules violation brags about how she and her husband have been covered by National Geographic.  And how they have been featured in the New York Post, as well as in international publications ranging from Germany, Netherlands,England to India.  Well, it turns out that National Geographic Channel has produced a show called Taboo USA, and as I suspected, this pair of freaks were on it…  Here is how the show is described…

Taboo USA goes behind the closed doors and picket fences of America’s most normal looking homes to find a fringe few that can only be described as... taboo. And we're showcasing those willing to push the boundaries of taste, societal acceptance; those obsessive about their hobbies, their relationships, and their lifestyles.

In another words, this is a show, not far removed from the realm of Jerry Springer, that features kooks who haven't the good sense to maintain privacy, but who like to exhibit their for the those who get off on this sort of thing.  As my mother used to say, "Fools names, and fools faces, often seen in public places."  BTW, Ms. Cummings has also been on Maury Povish…which says a lot.

The particular episode that these "reality show wannabes" were featured on was called "Strange Bonds," also featured a polyamorous couple, and a black guy who befriended a bunch of KKK members.  Uh, yeah…some people will do anything for attention.

Now, the New York Post…well, let's just say that it is, maybe, a step up from the National Enquirer…maybe.  Produced by Rupert Murdoch, it is known for tabloid sensationalism.  The  more lurid, the more bizarre, the more titillating, the better.  Being featured there is hardly something to brag about…

I can only imagine about the other publications that this kook brags about being featured in…

What we have here, as I have pointed out before, is a couple of grifters.  Currently, uh, hiding out, in a backwater town in Florida, and a rather decrepit looking trailer park, they are apparently effectively homeless, and unemployed.  

Now, the latest article on their web site is a bit interesting…  Here are some of the things mention in regard to "transgender narcissists"..

No detail of their life in unimportant, especially to you. They post everything from the latest pictures of themselves(usually bikini or muscle shots, up to and including everything in their wardrobe) and keeping everyone updated on their lives no matter how small the event.

Sure sounds an awful lot like Mr. "Mark" and Mr. "Jessica."

Have you ever seen a picture of them that is not perfect or looks doctored. Chances are it is, leaving your self esteem in the gutter over an imaginary person. Look close, very close for flaws and imperfections. If there are none the it may be a doctored photograph. Usually their photographs will be them on a beach or in front of a mirror because they love to show you how good their body looks, and it's always an Olympian or Goddess physique, further grinding your average transgender woman’s self esteem into the ground. It is bad enough that most if not all the advertising, Hollywood movies or TV shows use cisgender women as models or actors. Establishing an unreachable goal for most transgender women.

Pretty much every photo of Mr. "Jessica" Cummings fits the above description.  Soft focus, heavily Photoshopped, and obviously quite fake.  And Ms. "Cummings" has a few that fit these descriptions as well.  Yes, they are certainly narcissists.  Funny that they let their "Investigative Reporters" trash them on their own blog…or are they so narcissistic that they don't even realize it?

Oh, and speaking of their blog…they do seem to have a bad habit of stealing copyrighted material.  Purely by accident, I came across a link to the site they stole their "Shame On You" logo from.  And it is, of course, copyrighted…  Some people have no shame.

A Quick Recap...

Well, after a lovely evening with friends, I returned home to find several interesting developments….

First, before taking off, I had listened to Mr. and Ms. Cummings, uh, "radio" show (basically a rather lame podcast on a web site).  They couldn't even seem to agree on exactly where they stood on crap like the silliness at the Academy Awards, with Mr. Cummings wanting to take a bit more extremist stand than Ms. Cummings.  Then, they were no doubt a bit pissed to discover a post on their blog from one of their comrades in insanity that contradicted everything that Ms. Cummings tried to push.  That post was removed….

Mr. Waters posted a rather silly rant in response to my article on his absurd article on bathrooms, and even was so silly as to try to cover up his obvious admission he is non-op.  Yes, it is clear he is non-op, but when confronted with it, he realizes the truth and tries to weasel out.  

Worse, he shows he is not remotely a transsexual, making remarks about how he assumes I was "upset about having a small (sic) clitoris).  Actually, I was rather thankful, prior to SRS, that I had a very small penis.  I hated what I had, and would have been a lot more dysphoric had I been well endowed.  I wasn't.  I imagine, based on his remarks, Mr. Waters is rather fond, and proud of his manhood.  I hated mine, and got rid of it, rather than clinging to it for dear life, and yes, as a matter of fact, that is part of what makes me a woman.  And what indicates Mr. Waters is a man.

Mr. Waters tries to make me feel bad, but again shows how he doesn't get it.  I am NOT a part of his "community."  So, I could care less if a bunch of kooks, like him, hate me, I have a lot of friends in the real world.  And he obviously hasn't followed me on Twiiter….which might prove very enlightening to him.  Actually, I am one of those people who is very hard to label, which drives simple minded fools like Mr. Waters, and his friends, a bit crazy.  Feminist?  Not in the sense he imagines…  Certainly NOT transgender…. Conservative?  No…  Liberal?  Again, not really…  He can't pin me down, pigeon hole me, and that makes him confused, and angry.  

He tries to make an issue out of an imaginary sexual assault that happened locally…(yes, imaginary…the truth has come out, it was all a LIE) and well, I guess he looks kind of foolish.  

And no, Mr. Slingen, I haven't had any problem reading the blog….  No problem at all.

Caught in a Lie and Looking Foolish

Well, there has been an interesting turn of events among the fools at Shame On You Transgender Edition.  Mr. "Jessica" Cummings, in a rather odd post reiterating the fact that are censoring me (kind of moot, since I have intentions of commenting there), posted some pretty bogus claims about me.  According to Mr. Cummings, I have posted a comment that "confirms" that I have not had SRS, and also my daughter has posted information that confirms I have not had surgery.  Of course, both of these claims are outright fabrications.and someone, I honestly don't know who, asked him for a link to the alleged site where the bogus information was posted.  I kind of suspect it was Mr. Lask, no doubt in a panic that someone found some information he missed.

I wondered how they would react to that question, since they could not possibly have such a link, and well, Mr. Cummings is scrambling to cover his…uh, posterior.  He is claiming that I am the anonymous poster, that he won't provide the (non-existent) information until the poster identifies who they are, and so on.  Of course, since these posts don't actually exist, and he therefore cannot remotely post a link to them, it all becomes rather humorous.  I mean, why would it matter if I were the person asking the question?  If it were me, and it is isn't, I would certainly not ask that question if the information did exist.  And let's be blunt here…if the information did exist, they would have not only posted a link in the article, they would have posted a screen capture as well.  These are not the brightest bulbs in the string.

And let me reiterate, I did not have SRS for anyone other than myself.  I had it because I had a need to have, and nothing else.  If someone honestly wishes to believe I didn't have it, that is their delusion to believe it.  It does not change the fact that I have had SRS, it does not make me magically change back into a male, and it does not make Mr. Cummings any less of a male eunuch, or into any semblance of a woman.  It only means that a person believes in something false.

Now clearly, they are not at all happy that I am commenting on them here, since Mr. Cummings is boasting that he plans to prevent me from reading their "blog."  Well, if he thinks he can do that, he is in for a very major surprise.  Another transgender kook tried the same thing.  Mr. "Dana Lane" Taylor, the "Milk Man" himself, though he could block me, and yet, I was able to read his blog at will…  Actually, there are a several ways, one relatively obvious, others not so obvious.  I won't say how….that would be spoilers, but it is trivial.  

Stay tuned for more updates on the insanity at Shame on You Transgender Edition, a new low in transgender kookiness on the Internet.

End Game

After wasting far too much time, the curtain has come down, at least for the moment, on the gang of extremists I have been tangling with.  The whole thing began when I responded to a post on a relatively new blog aimed at "shaming" transgender people back into line.  The blog was started by a couple of massive egos that are the strangest pair of kooks I have encountered in some time.  Mr. "Jessica Lynn" Cummings is a classic non-op autogynephilic type who met a egotistical FTM equivalent, Ms. "Mark Angelo" Cummings.  And they decide to become a couple.  Now, this is not really new, FTM/MTF couples, while rare, are not unheard of.  I remember one being featured on the TV show "That's Incredible" many years ago.  But this one is particularly strange, because both are pretty much classic "transgender extremists," making a big deal out of being non-op.  Mr. Cummings still has his penis, so he and his wife, "Mark" can have intercourse in the usual way….I am sure Blanchard and Bailey would have a field day with this one….

Anyway, I responded to an article on the "transgender hierarchy," in which pointed out, as an aside, that I do not accept the label "transgender" and they went ballistic.  And, as I wrote about in my last article, they resorted to censorship, but then backed off…somewhat surprisingly, but they also went on the offensive, finally tracking down the crap that the cyberstalker who calls himself "Diane" Lask has been pushing for years.  And of course, they were just thrilled.  They thought that I would curl up a die, or something.

Hey, like I said, it is all lies, and pretty obviously so.  

In any case, "Mark" who isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch, FINALLY, after twice having posts blocked here for violating the One Rule, figured out that, "DUH!" he could do the same thing,  Now, he has resorted to moderating posts, so he can prevent me from embarrassing them.  

In the end, it got downright hilarious.  One of this gang of idiots, a very masculine transgender from Canada, who fancies himself a "writer" (he vanity published a book) even went so far as to post threats of violence…why do they always want to resort to stalking?  This is copied, verbatim…and is by the "writer" Mr. "Jacqueline" Waters.  I leave it to my readers to decide for yourself if this sounds like a woman?  Or like some insane drag queen?

And honey, no man here and I will out bitch slap the fuck out of you any day. You see, I don;t mind flying anywhere at anytime to deal face to face with any cunt..I will even show you my pussy while I am there so you can come back and apologize for how stupid you really are.

 So if you would like to set up a meeting so we can discuss matters in person, just let me know. Other than that shut your pie hole (no doubt the only hole you have besides the one in your head where a brain is supposed to be located).

Unlike you, I have a life and work to do that goes far above playing silly little games with a bitch boy keyboard commando troll.

 So when and where? Just let me know. If you live in a nice place I will come back and let everyone know they were wrong about you being poor and near homeless. I mean all this shit is easily resolved. You show me yours and I will show you mine ok? 

Aside from posting this after there is no way I can respond (which is probably why he posted it, since he is confident I wouldn't be able to take him up on it) this is almost hilarious. Now, I have no desire to invite some violent man to come visit me in San Francisco. I am certainly not going to allow some nut case associated with this band of lunatics to gather private information, like where I live, and such. And I sure am not going to expose myself to some pervert.

But this, I fear, is a classic example of transgender mentality.  My feelings on the subject can be summed up in a post I made in response to an article defending "transgender ideology" there.  I responded directly to a could of statements in the article. Here is the cold, hard truth that finally pushed Ms. "Mark" over the edge…

"You expect to be properly identified and treated as any other woman (If you are Female-to-Male then the same logic will apply for you as a man.)"

And your answer to this is to publicly identify as something that clearly marks you as NOT be a woman (or a man, for the FTMs) at all. In spite of your silly claims (based on male-sexist concepts that only "drop-dead gorgeous" women…which is ironic at best for this bunch, matter) I live as a woman, not as a "trans woman." You can tell me what you think, but I know what I live.

"And for those transsexual extremists out there.... if you hate transgender so much, why spend all your time attacking the people who do feel comfortable with the term?" 

When you stop trying to use us as your beards, when you stop demanding that society accept idiocy like "women have penises," and "men can become pregnant," when you stop advocating that just because some dude claims he feels like a woman, he has to be accepted as one, when you stop defending perverts like Colleen Francis, when you stop demanding the right of pre-op (who, if legitimate, would NEVER do such a thing) and so-called "non-op transsexuals" (an oxymoron) to be in women's spaces where nudity is likely, when you stop trying to get the right to change your birth certificate without actually changing your self (again, women do not have penises, and men cannot get pregnant) and especially when you state, without qualification or reservation, that ONLY people who self-identify as transgender should ever be referred to as transgender, then and ONLY THEN, will we stop attacking you. Until then, well you deserve to be made to fill like the extremists you are. And no, we won't "shut the hell up!" We will speak out, and oppose your extremism. And we will help bring about the coming backlash, and hopefully prevent if from consuming us along with you.

Time will tell what happens.  Ms. Cummings made a couple of threats that could come back to haunt him if he follows through, but as they say, "Spoilers, darling, spoilers…"  I will check that blog from time to time, as I do other transgender blogs, but since they have gone full blown censorship, I won't be posting there.  I think I have pretty much said all that is worth saying to them there anyway.
