I'm not saying that's the case in every instance but it certainly raises eyebrows when people are so quick to distance themselves.

The irony, of course, is that if the same person were actually saying "I'm gay", they'd find, in all likelihood, much greater social acceptance than saying "I'm a CD / TG". So ironic. Gay people can get married in some states. We CD/TG folks have to potentially show our birth certificates to go to the restroom in other states. We aren't quite on the bottom rung of the social ladder - we don't have to register before we move in someplace, at least.
