As someone with social ties to the TG community (major sites, not fringe sites) by virtue of activism, I have yet to hear any attempts to claim that transsexual is anything by a person with GID who is attaining or wishes to attain physical transition (which is actually untrue as the actual scientific categories are just based on GID).

Considering GID is based off of Harry Benjamin's material (with some minor tweaking) I really think that's a pretty good indicator that there isn't this attempt to label all gender variants as transsexual. Where are you getting this impression from?

And really, age, background, none of those have to do with GID. What has to do with GID is exactly what is described in the diagnosis. And the majority of people trying to break gender norms in half do not fit that diagnosis.

Honestly, this all plays out like paranoid delusions of some grand conspiracy to destroy transsexuality.

Genderbitch: In ur gender, revealing ur privilege

Hi.

This is a blog. About transsexuality, feminism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, GLBT stuff and etcetera (check my tags for more on that). This is also an angry blog.

You might see me as slightly antagonistic. Oh well. I incite because I am trying to push people into thinking, discussing and breaking out of the stagnant bullshit of privilege. Which needs a nice firm kick quite a bit. Sometimes to the head. If I need a nice firm kick too, make sure to distribute it because well, I'm not immune to privilege either. XD

Anonymous (account-less) commenting is allowed but please sign it with an alias or name. I reserve the right to delete useless trolling, hate language and attempts to out my name or out anyone else here.

Welcome to my space. Take your shoes off, stay a while. Use the fucking coasters.

~R.P.
