Kelly,
Here are some examples all taken from recent thread(s):
I don't think of trans women as being women either, and unless they can do something to morph chromosomes, they never will be.
Obviously this person does not think that I or any other trans-woman know what we are, and they are more qualified to decide what we are.
I think it depends on whether or not the person has transitioned or not and to what extent. I think if you’ve had SRS and now have a vagina, you can definitely say you’re a lesbian.
So know unless we are able to transition to the extent that they think is required we are not women
as long as we have our parts, we are still heterosexual
I guess this means that people that are bisexual or pan-sexual don't exist according to this logic. This is wrong on so many levels.
All of these statements are insulting and demeaning to the people that fit in the groups being talked about. These are the type of comments that we have to fight against on a daily basis as they are the same type of comments that are being used to try and make it illegal for us to exist. Why are we giving the "enemy" ammunition to use against us, if "we" feel this way why should the rest of the world see us any differently?
