How many times do you have to tell someone who has colonized your life that you do not appreciate their colonization?

Why should some one who is nearly forty years post-op and almost as long post-transsexual be expected to look at a transvestite and self-proclaimed gender queer for expertise?

What's probably the biggest problem with going and disassociating people is that there's inevitably an unshared extent of experience that created difference in the first place.  S: For it I usually prefer to be reserved and just make calls on technicalities. -.- Making a call flat-out against any significant vague quantity is dangerously careless in optimistic opinion and definitely inaccurate in the same instant it was uttered.  His gall to go and seemingly say that transsexuals aren't particular ways....is just that...

To be honest, from what the news snippets read, he's just a cross dresser riding on transsexual terminology in order to be taken seriously. -.-; Transgender, I can believe.  He definitely expresses away from his body-gender...but...Transsexual...? When he talks in that article, it keeps coming off that he only prefers to hold the capability of presence of a female, not that he is ultimately of that identity.  His trying to, from how I understand, insist that transsexuals aren't honest with themselves in trying to achieve a crossover on their physical sex really agitates me... -.-;

From the quote in the article: "I am not a transvestite or a cross dresser... I dress to express and communicate that female aspect of who I am."

Only a cross dresser, and not a woman with atypical anatomy, would use the word "dress" in that context.

This article also indicates to why I never liked the terms "transgender" or "transsexual".

"transgendered person who blends male and female"

If someone wants to "blend male and female" fine, but I don't (regardless of whatever anatomical problems I may have to live with) so it is incorrect to categorize me with such a person.
