Below are some recent quotes from Billy Corgan to/about a trans effects builder. Billy asked her to build him a pedal. She did but he never commented on it. She called him out on a Smashing Pumpkins message board.

Here's what he had to say:

"Devi Ever is a --Censored-- --Censored--. His/her pedals suck. He/she sucks. Never associate my name and his/hers ever again. Pig. Ugly pig."

"you ugly piece of crap...if i ever run into you, anywhere, at anytime, for as long as i live, i will knock your --Censored-- lights out. don't ever come near me, and if i hear even one more peep out of you in public about me, or the band, or the members of the band, i am gonna sue you for so much you'll never be able to afford so much as to even make a --Censored-- guitar cable. i know plenty about copyright law, so before you run your trap anymore about what you think you know, or your delusional constructs of reality, know that to fight a lawsuit is at least a 30 to 40 thousand dollar endeavor. if you still got enough testicles to go there, try me. nice to know you thought so little of me, and of us, but we're still willing to try to take advantage of a generous offer because you are a piece of crap and that is what fake pieces of crap do. at least i am real. unlike you, who is a sad creation. don't you say another word, or you'll be fighting something you can't afford and you'll lose everything. this will be the cost of you running your mouth on me ever again."

"you do what you have to do you pig. but i'm telling you, you think you know what you are doing here with me, but you don't. if you just want to go to war, keep running your mouth. i;d like to see you try to sue me for libel. you don't have two nickels to rub together.you are a fake, a phony, a liar, and now a proven idiot. what artist will ever work with a manufacturer who disses her clients out? you are so --Censored-- stupid. and you didn't even have the courage to deal with it in private. you run to a greek chorus of idiots to ape you on. like i said, one more word out of you in public and i will be suing you for ten times more than you'll make in the next ten years. and don't think i am one to make hollow threats. i've been in many lawsuits through the years, and haven's lost one yet. enjoy your 15 seconds of negative attention. you had intercourse up, you know it, so eat crap, shut the love up and accept you've attacked someone who tried to HELP YOU. but addicts and self-destructive people like you who HATE THEMSELVES must turn their hate out. if this is what you have to do to not kill your unhappy self, well then i'd say it was a wise decision. beyond that, you are --Censored-- lame, dumb, and so so ugly."

Not that he's been relevant for 15 years or so, but I thought people should know.

Well, I gotta say you gave the bad word filter a workout there. Please be more careful on what you are posting. Remember, this is a PG forum.

Is there a link to this? Honestly I don't find it hard to believe Corgan is a douche after the whole stitch in time song he did. However I would love to read it and see for myself what happened.

Sorry, kids! :doh1:

(But seriously, though, there are no bad words. "Bad thoughts. Bad intentions." And some people, like Billy Corgan, have a lot of bad thoughts and intentions. There's a lot more harmful stuff in those quotes than the censored words.)

I was gonna make a thread about this myself, it broke my heart it really did :( been a massive fan of the Pumpkins for years now, and yes, Billy Corgan has proven himself time and again to be an idiot, putting it mildly, but this is a new low for him. It really is.

Whether or not he believed he was in the right, to insult someone like that is uncalled for, if he didn't like the pedal which was built to his design he should have just said so. Then again, its Billy Corgan we are talking about LOL

I usually say "hate the artist, love the art" but this is difficult for me, for someone who has loved them their whole life and grew up listening to Siamese Dream I feel very hurt. I even loved MACHINA!!!!!!

I will listen to my old albums by them I guess, but he won't get anymore of my money and I won't go to a concert where the lead singer does not want me there :( which may not be so bad, considering how everyone says he cannot perform live anymore

This is really disappointing. Back when Smashing Pumpkins were still a good band (until about 10 years ago), Corgan had seemed intelligent and fairly open-minded in interviews, although he had and still has been been a real cocky piece of work for pretty much his 20-plus year career. But being a good musician and songwriter does not trump ignorance and doesn't give you a free pass to turn into a hateful lunatic spewing garbage on the internet.

I'd been a fan of SP back in the '90s and I'd considered seeing them on their recent tour, but with Jimmy Chamberlin leaving and now this, I don't want to fork over my cash.

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
