For sure, we are seen a one large group of freaks by those who have no tolerance - but then, no matter what we do, they will still see us the same way. :mad:

Communities is a much better way to look at us, although we do need something to tie us together if there is to be any change. As individual sub-groups, I don't know that we have the strength necessary to make a significant impact. Together, we have a much better chance - provided we can stop fighting over who is more 'real' or more 'trans' than the next.


Can you share what your professional field is? (Privately if you prefer?) Just curious...
