I am very saddened by this thread.
Ben Franklin purportedly said, "We all need to hang together, or surely we will all hang separately.
This thread is marking a line in the sand (or maybe several lines) separating CDs from TS.
If you really want to split hairs on the "bathroom bills", may we should divide the pre-op TS from the post-op TS from the middle way from the CD from the fetishist CD. If we choose to divide ourselves into so many small pieces, none of use will get any bathroom freedom, except maybe the post-op TS who "pass". I think that this is an important fight, and a fight that we can and should win. However if I start to think that the TSs want to win this fight without including all the other sub-groups, I'll stop my support of TSs in women's bathrooms.
So, think about making some compromises for unity, the same way that many of us make compromises within our marriages.
Division and infighting on this issue may get some of us what we want and what we need, but may leave many of us behind.
I think that even in NC, TS can use women's bathrooms provided the gender marker is changed on the birth certificate. Is that really enough for us?
