For that matter I am not sure that the "B" is at the proper home port either.<br /><br />I have steered conversations that I have had with gay acquaintances towards the "T" issue and they just do not seem to get it. As a rule being "T" is hard to explain to any and then there is the entire issue of the so-called "T Spectrum".<br /><br />I follow as much of the "T" blog world and information tree as possible and things remain confusing in many regards.<br /><br />Patscalesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405121500560615820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-42492377023208775562011-08-05T15:26:32.809-04:002011-08-05T15:26:32.809-04:00Meg:

He could go to TCentral, www.t-central.blogspot.com or Helen's en|Gender (www.myhusbandbetty.com) for just about any gender related news. And there are bunches more which is why I said he was lazy.<br /><br />I generally agree with your feeling that the T doesn't belong in the LGB but if we weren't we would not be getting any rights at all. I hate to generalize, however the LGBs don't "get it" any more than the straight cis- folks do. I do like them as they tend to be more open minded, but they still don't get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-68077780926847804492011-08-05T12:57:35.175-04:002011-08-05T12:57:35.175-04:00--Dangerously political territory, Meg.

In other words, LGB does not equal T. But ya know is? The discrimination. The victims of both types of hate crimes end up just as dead.<br /><br />Still, I'm not going to be checking any LGBT sites for news and information that applies to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-71478733789187877252011-08-05T10:41:41.089-04:002011-08-05T10:41:41.089-04:00My first reaction to your comments was that I tota...My first reaction to your comments was that I totally agree, but then I started thinking, there are valid reasons for both positions here. On the one hand, yes, transfolk need a separate voice that focuses purely on trans issues; on the other hand fragmentation leads to cliquishness leads to hostility between groups that should be supporting one another's efforts.<br /><br />Heck, I'd love to see more prominent focus on non-trans crossdressing, but it ain't gonna happen in my lifetime no matter how many Eddie Izzards we see in the news. Maybe I could convince the world media to start reporting not just on GLBT issues but GLBTC? We have plenty of letters left in the alphabet that we can add as each subgroup joins in :-)<br /><br />But yeah, it's discouraging to hunt around the web for articles and blogs about crossdressing only to see it turn up as a tag for search engines that leads you to sites with nothing but GLB content. That's why I started my own blog, as a place surfers could find that's all T and no GLB.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270089053419978832noreply@blogger.com
