Why so many fights here?

[Zooey]

When this particular notion comes up, someone from the Transsexual camp is lamenting that Crossdressers and Transgender folks in the middle of the spectrum have the option of returning to their male state when times get tough. In effect, it is a way of discounting the experience of Crossdressers and Transgender folks in the middle and is embedded in that notion of Heirarchy.

Why does it have to be "hierarchy" rather than "an important/significant difference"?

For what it's worth, we expect the same acknowledgement of that difference from TS folks too - it's the full-time vs. part-time vs. full-time-except-for-blah thing.
