Stop trying to speak for all transsexuals. Youve had multiple transsexuals, myself included, tell you to stop speaking over us.
No one is silencing you Jenna. if we were you'd shut the fuck up, but youre still out there, calling people slurs and fetishists for disagreeing w you
A significant portion of the hostility towards transsexual separatism comes from this assumption from transgenders that we transsexuals somehow "owe" the broader 'umbrella' our visibility, legitimacy, medical history, and public sympathy indefinitely.
But many transsexuals are increasingly beginning to feel that the broader movement no longer reflects our priorities, language, goals, or understanding of what it means to transition.
Our own movement has been hijacked by people who have completely redefined what it means to be trans and have, in turn, silenced transsexual dissent at every turn when we attempt to bring this to light.
Wanting the ability to define ourselves separately from this movement that we no longer recognize is not some sort of betrayal, or a sign of trying to be "one of the good ones" or whatever else nonsense transgenders come up with to cope with reality.
We want a movement built by transsexuals, and for transsexuals only.
We seek self-determination.
