PTSD Memoir - Cont' from page 3
at the "Queers for Palestine", who march "in solidar-
ity" with a government who would murder them. Or
the infamous Cathy Brennan, a self-described "radical
lesbian feminist" engaged in a bitter vendetta against
the entire transgender community. Brennan's well
documented behavior includes contacting schools to
out trans kids and contacting transwomen's personal
physicians. None of this is hearsay--screenshot's of
Brennan's emails to schools and doctor's offices have
been posted online for all to see: http://pastebin.com/

Most recently Brennan has taken to posting her
home address on Twitter, challenging trans activ-
ists to come for her--she has also boasted about pur-
chasing a gun so she can protect herself from all the
rampaging transgenders she feels are out to get her.
e implications of Brennan's behavior are terrifying.
Both Danny and Brennan are among thousands and
thousands of gay/Queer "activists" who engage in hor-
rifically abusive behavior as part of their normal every-
day routine. Organizations whose job it is to stand up
for and protect our community, like GLAAD and e
Trevor Project, continue to knowingly look the other
way while this kind of behavior goes on.
Is this how sane, rational people behave?
e Queer community needs and deserves proper
mental health care if we are to heal ourselves from what
has been done to us. at can't happen unless offices
like the California Board of Behavioral Sciences or
LGBT advocacy groups are held accountable for their
refusal to adhere to their own mission statements.. We
need and deserve better therapists and better advocacy
groups.
