[edit] Biography
Siobhan is a cat rescuer and veterinary assistant who resides in the lower East Village (Loisaida). She is one of the founders of the Umbrella House Squat[1], one of the few squats that was able to convert an abandoned building to low-income rent-controlled use following a series of renovations that brought the building up to city code [1]. The court case of Umbrella House Squat was resolved through a legal means called Adverse possession[2]. Siobhan's "Furry Love Kitten Kat Farm" occupies a tenency on the top floor of the building.
Siobhan's cat rescue organization serves as a hospice and shelter-of-last-resort for unwanted or unadoptable felines. In addition, the Kat Farm, as it is also known, provides board and care, and it is also listed as an adoption agency on Petfinder.com[3] . Siobhan's income derives from providing feline support services including petsitting, routine hygiene for cats, and supervised nonveterinary medical support (e.g., diabetes management, infection and wound care.)
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Siobhan appeared variously in male or transgender female forms. She organized a music troupe called "Pep Girlz", produced by Paul Kostabi that performed in local venues during that time. She also produced an underground comic of the same name which featured the antics of four pre-op transexuals, Kali Molotov, Sledgehammer Susan, Black Betty Afrikka, and CircularSaw Sally. The band produced one CD in 1997, titled "Down 'n Dirty"[2]. This music has spread around the world as an example of mid-90's punk rage genre and is downloadable at some websites.
She often produced "radical art" in the form of underground comics, posters, and performance art. Her artistic style is that of an illustrator, using pen and ink in highly intracate, stippled format. Politicians and celebrities were often skewered by Siobhan's sarcastic wit, most notably New York mayors David Dinkins and Rudolph Giuliani. Some of Siobhan's illustration art is preserved in university collections as part of overall women's studies curricula.
Siobhan frequently permitted New York University (NYU) film students to use the Kat Farm as subject material for class assignments, and she appeared in many of these short documentaries ("shorts.")
After 2003, she decided to become fully female and underwent sex reassignment surgery at the Toby Meltzer Clinic [4] in Arizona. Siobhan has since that time lived fully female.
She is the genetic parent of one daughter in central Pennsylvania. In 2005, she became a grandparent for the first time. Siobhan had studied fine art at Pratt Institute[5] and also holds a baccelaureate from Shippensburg University of PA [6], a state teachers' college.
Siobhan has appeared at various times through the years as a guest of the Howard Stern Show, on broadcast radio, satellite (Sirius [7] ,) and television. She has pushed the envelope in art, music, and performance and achieved a small measure of fame, or notoriety, through her oeuvre.

[edit] A Sybian Experience
Shortly after the sex reassignment surgery, Siobhan appeared on the Stern Show to announce that she had gone through with SRS, thanks to a generous loan underwritten by a relative in Pennsylvania. Howard talked her into displaying her "Private Parts"; however, Siobhan warned him and the others in the booth that only the first phase of the SRS, the vaginoplasty, had taken place. The second phase would occur later, when she would return to Arizona for labiaplasty, a surgery in which excess skin preserved from the vaginoplasty would be molded into labias majoris and minoris. Thus, Stern and staff were horrified to observe "a work in progress." Siobhan explained that during SRS, radical orchiectomy is performed, and the spongiform tissue (corpii cavernosii & spongiosum) is removed from the penis, and the remaining tissue, including the glans and nerves, are preserved and shaped into a vagina and clitoris.
During the interim between vaginoplasty and labiaplasty, Siobhan explained, she must progressively expand the vaginal volume by exercising with placement of dildoes of increasing caliber. The surgery and the exercise cause no small amount of soreness.
Nevertheless, Stern and crew convinced Siobhan to mount the Sybian. She could not perform a full mount because of the soreness; nevertheless, she performed the stunt. Afterward, the crew was reluctant to clean the Sybian as usual, and much frivolity ensued.
Stern only refers to Siobhan using male gender-specific pronouns, as is his custom when it comes to transwomen.
[edit] Transsexual virginity
On May 22, 2006, Siobhan appeared on the Stern Show to lose her (female) virginity. A listener named "John", who is a recovering heroin addict, volunteered for the task, which ultimately failed due to John's inability to sustain an erection. John's penis seemed to shrink every time Siobhan touched it. This may have been due to a "perfect storm" of factors, aside from John's inexperience with the transgendered. First, John is on methadone, second, Howard 100 reporter Shuli stated that Siobhan's apartment smelled "a million times worse" than High Pitch Eric's, due to the large number of cats in it, which John described as jumping on him during his visit. John also reported that Siobhan had a large, protruding hemorrhoid, which resembled "red popcorn".[8]
On October 10, 2006, another attempt was made at helping Siobhan lose her female virginity. This time it was a guy named KDK, founder of Prank Call Underground Radio and a bisexual, who was willing to perform the stunt to settle a debt with Zolar. This time Richard Christy accompanied the pair to Siobhan's apartment to cover the act. With Richard dry heaving in the background, Dave successfully penetrated Siobhan. A minute later, however, Dave went soft; Siobhan told Howard the sex "felt good" and that she "felt like a woman", but she admitted that she wished the sex had lasted longer. Afterward, KDK reported that Siobhan's vagina felt more like an "open wound" than a real vagina.
[edit] High Pitch Mike's face sitting stunt
On the June 29, 2006 edition of the Howard Stern Show, Siobhan participated in a stunt with the intern "High Pitch" Mike Morales, in order for Mike to win a Panasonic big screen TV. The cast member whose stunt was used was left up to an online vote, which Mike won with the proposed stunt of Siobhan sitting on his face. Stern and others commented that having a man defecate on them (as Sal and Richard proposed) was a less frightening stunt than the face sitting stunt and Jon Hein declared that he wouldn't do the stunt if offered the Panasonic Corporation. Mike laid down on a table, greased up his face with petroleum jelly, covered his mouth with duct tape, and was forced to endure a minute and ten seconds of Siobhan's man-made vagina on his face. He completed the stunt successfully, and after thoroughly disinfecting his face, he claimed his big screen TV.
During a post-bit interview with Sal, "High Pitch Mike" said: "He's a dear for not putting it onto my face any more than he did!"
