These are not mutually exclusive positions. They are more an understanding of reality.

When some post-op / WBT / HBS / etc., etc., etc. folks only support Heterosexual marriage for us, while denying same sex marriage , for us or others, it seems to be sowing the seeds of disaster. When folks distance themselves from T-hookers, denying their humanity, it sows the seeds of our downfall.

The very fact there is no “umbrella” does not mean we cannot support the rights of all folks seen, from the outside, as “T”.

Many of us are no longer seen as any sort of “T”. That does not mean we cannot be “outed”, cannot have our lives, careers, marriages, destroyed by someone searching the internet. It also does not give anyone of us the right to look down on others.

There are no easy answers.
