This is my absolute fave trans* 101. I pass this on to people all the time. I run a community center for radicals, and I think I might actually print this and put it up on the wall. There are quite a few trans* groups and ‘Trans* & Queer’ groups who use the center, lots of younger folks.
Thanks for writing and sharing this.

Comment on Intersex is not Trans by Dreki

Thank you so much for your take on this! I’m also sorry for taking so long to respond.

I actually had to reread the post to see what I said, I’m not sure if I would have written the same thing now. I definitely appreciate your input.

The post was initially written in response to people saying that intersex is a subset of transgender. I’ve seen enough intersex people who don’t identify as trans and don’t want to be considered trans that I don’t think it’s fair to say “intersex is in the transgender umbrella”. I agree with you that the other way around is possible, thatbeing transgender could be considered an intersex condition one day.

Ok – here’s my, late and probably not worthwhile at this juncture, thoughts on this.

As an IS individual, at first, i was upset with a few trans* people using stories in the way in which Zoe Brain and others have, where they justify being trans* because of an intersex condition.Simply put, anyone feeling the need to transition has a legitimate reason for transitioning without the need for making any up. However, the vast number of trans* people I have encountered have not tried to use intersex as an ‘excuse’ for transitioning, and I have a great deal of respect for the honesty and courage of the majority of trans* people.

Identifying as trans* is a medical condition, just as being intersex is, and sometimes the gender identity assigned to intersex individuals at birth, is not congruous with their identity and they get medically corrective procedures performed in much the same way as adults. Personally, I believe that being trans* is probably going to be proven to be a type intersex disorder as more progress is made in research, I don’t feel the need for anyone to have to lie about their physical bodies in order to transition, Zoe

HRC wants to get off the fence,many transgenders helped with the same sex marriage laws now its time we repay them with our support against the the perverted voices of these politicians who are happy to take their taxes,let them die for their country, but deny them their basic rights like going to the bathroom without fear of arrest in some states,

Comment on “Marriage Equality is Not a Transgender Issue” – HRC’s repeated failure and why I hate that their symbol is becoming the symbol for marriage equality by Tori Helle

Not part of the fight?!?!?! Where do you people get off with that one?!?! I have been “part of the fight” since I was 18, way before I even came out I was fighting for LGBT rights! So don’t you sit on your pompous ass and tell me I am not part of the fight!! It would be far more apt if you changed your name to Gay and Lesbian Rights Coalition. Seems to me by the HRC’s long and well documented history of excluding transgender people that HRC apparently doesn’t consider transpeople human? Hey, check you’re history you idiots. Transgender people are the reason why Stonewall happened!!! How dare you suggest that marriage equality does not effect us!! I am so pissed I cannot begin to express the disdain I now have for HRC!!!
