    Call for action: www.tranny-alert.com

    For those of you who are unaware, this is a blog where people are supposed to submit photos they've taken of trans women or people they believe to be trans women. Apart from the obvious misogyny and transphobia of this premise, one does not have to give consent to have their picture posted here - which also makes this an invasion of trans women's privacy and right to choose when and where to be "out", and by doing this it also puts their safety in jeopardy.

    This website is also commiting a TOS violation - their host, Blogger, prohibits "material that promotes hatred toward groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity". Their Facebook page has already been taken down for violating Facebook's Acceptable Use Policy, and you can report their blog here.
