I agree with what you are saying. Again I have to go back to my experiences at PFLAG. While initially welcome, we were eventually sent to our own little ghetto of TG only discussion groups, and made to feel un-welcome in the general population. However, one of my best friends there was a woman (who was also a co-worker at my place of employment) who welcomed me with open arms. Many of the parents welcomed me, as did many of the older gay men. The majority of the lack of acceptance seemed to come from the younger gay men who seemed more radical in their approach to life.
