As I understand the laws, trans men will have to use women's bathrooms so sexual predators will not even have to dress as women. This has nothing to do with protecting anyone. It is designed to...
The original theme of this thread was about CDers being left behind. Gays and lesbians, and now increasingly, TS are becoming accepted. Not everywhere and not by everyone. It is a process. It takes...
Maybe I am misunderstanding but I thought to say something is a truism means it is self evident. That surely means it is realistic. If all CDers came out then it would surely have an effect. It does...

I think what you had to deal with is just the way society is at the moment. It seems the younger generation are generally better at understanding and being accepting. I applaud you for getting out...
TS start with a major disadvantage to GGs. They have male faces and bodies. You probably look good without a huge amount of effort. I do not. I have to try hard to pass. By the way why do you assume...
I understand what you are saying Reine but I think that it is understandable that she wants to try and mimic the 'Hollywood' glamour around her. I think she will settle down and dress more...
This is the first time in her life that Caitlyn has been free to be herself so she should be allowed to dress as she wishes. Everybody should be free to dress as they wish. Criticising her because...
If we are all holding hands we will not be able to walk very far unless the closet has wheels.
Just checking but you do realise that this is written as a joke.
No one said that all the examples of the wrong pronouns are written by haters. Look at them and tell me that none of them are...
It is okay for you to do it because they have struggled with it and suppressed it all their lives.
So you are saying it should not be a pass but should be a pass.
All it takes is to read what...
All you have to do is read your post before you submit it and check the pronouns. Is that so difficult?
I do not see what the use of the correct pronouns has to do with whether he (not he-she) has had the op or not.
It is rude and inconsiderate not to refer to a transsexual by their proper...
Please tell me how you transition in stealth when you have to change your name, inform banks and utilities, tell everyone you know that you are transitioning. Do you think that work, family and...
You really can't win if you are TS. If you live in stealth then you are betraying the transgender 'movement', if you are visible like Caitlyn, and lets face it you cannot get much more visible, then...
The Daily Mail (or Daily Fail as it is called) is a right wing newspaper that is hardly trans friendly. This link sums them up nicely.

I wouldn't blame the women. We live in a male dominated world where masculinity is seen as desirable and femininity as something weak and lesser. It is shameful and humiliating if a man acts or...
DeeAnne have you finished criticising TS who are visible and doing far more than you or the vast majority of CDs will ever do?
Are you now going to turn your attention on the real reason why...
What can you say in answer to that?? Stephanie is out there 24/7. Living her life and changing opinions and perceptions. Facing a major struggle to be herself.
Amazingly, DeeAnne thinks she is not...
Name ONE marginalized group that ever got anywhere by hiding in the closet/bedroom. Where a large percentage were invisible and ashamed to reveal themselves.
Gay and lesbian rights were not won by...
Many here talk about Transgender and how we should all belong as if it was some kind of movement. But if it is what has it achieved?
If someone was to organise a march how many CDs would join it?...
It it obviously a mystery to you because you clearly do not understand it DeeAnn. By the way most TS, but not all, become aware of their gender issues as small children not adolescents.
...
You are missing the key point. TS may be genetically male but their gender identity is female. CDs are genetically male and most of them have a gender identity that is male. That makes us...

I could not agree more.
