Thank you for posting that.
About 15 years ago I learned a lot about transition and being transgender from Andrea James, back when there wasn't much information available online (or anywhere for that matter). But I really don't care for the way she and Calpernia Addams are trying to portray themselves as THE voices for our community. Transition was harder 25+ years ago when they did it, but that certainly doesn't give them the right to dictate the terms of our existence now.
Honestly, my favorite part of the letter was reading the names and jobs of the signatories -- attorneys, software engineers, physicists, artists, consultants, nurses, students, truck drivers, writers.... This is what our community needs, Normal people, in all parts of society, representing us well. What we don't need is activists with a rockstar complex defending their turf by publicly attacking others in our own community.
