[SIZE="2"]I’m sorry, but I don’t see how this type of encounter helps to un-marginalize TG people… [/SIZE]

I wonder now what made this woman so bitter that she felt she had to insult someone she didn't even know. How her mind could be so narrow that she believed that she was "holier" than thou.

But still when you meet morons it does hurt.
[SIZE="2"]OK, let’s not assume that the woman is a moron – she may be prejudicial, but that doesn’t necessarily make her a moron. Within the confines of society, some people can’t help the way they think, and they are not encouraged to think otherwise. To YOU, anyone who doesn’t welcome transgendered people into the fabric of society may be morons, but they feel just the same way about you, the one who is practicing highly visible gender-blurring in public. You can’t expect the average citizen to have the patience or compassion necessary to understand your personal relationship with existence, or why you choose to dress the way you do – they are too busy trying to juggle their own circumstances, and there’s no time for nonsense (by their definition)…

“Moron” is a strong word, indicative of feeble-mindedness. How about saying “bigot” instead? [/SIZE]
