       Another "guest post" by moi at Butterflies and Wheels:"There it is again. That word, homophobic, as always, right at transphobia’s side. It makes me increasingly uncomfortable to see it there. Upset even. I’ve been trying to collect my thoughts on why that is....All I’m seeing over and over again is a message that goes something like, “the gays taught us we’re supposed to shut up and be good allies no matter how we feel, and now we have to do the same for trans people.”...That’s not a healthy or stable basis for maintaining our rights. If those attitudes aren’t truly felt, but merely enforced by social norms, whats going to happen in a crisis where social norms are weakened? Global warming, economic or political strife? If gay and trans acceptance is only skin-deep, they will be the first things to go. Trans activism should be welcoming more debate, more critical inquiry, to strengthen everyone’s understanding of transsexuals’ rightful place in society."Read the rest here!http://www.butterfliesandwheels.org/2019/guest-post-if-acceptance-is-only-skin-deep/@Glinner

       @BelieveYouMe @Glinner Thankfully, most of my life in lesbian and gay activism has been rooted in persuasion. Trans activism is rooted in bullying, in contrast. This is one of the reasons I really want to see the T and the rest of the alphabet soup separated from the LGB. Our goals, intentions, needs and methods are very much not aligned. In  fact, I despise the trans cult.
