Back in 1999, the Rt. Rev. Barbara C. Harris stated the following in a sermon commemorating the 25th anniversary of the ordination of women in the Episcopal Church: "Let there be peace among us, and let us not be instruments of our own oppression."

Well, the trans community has a habit of eating its own to the point of becoming instruments of our own oppression. We engage in horizontal violence of the spirit without second thought.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
