Well I guess you all told me, didn't you?
Very well. In that case, I have changed my position on this subject.
From now on, I no longer extend a helping hand to any transitioning folk, since you are all totally self-sufficient. I have always battled within my own community to fight for extended rights for everyone because it is the right thing to do. ENDA would have passed a long time ago without all of the gender crap attached to it.
Barney Frank was right and I was wrong when he fought against inclusion. Now I feel like a GD fool. Leigh warned me. I will use whatever influence I have to work toward removing the "T" from GLBT from this point on. Whenever I speak to sistahs and brothahs in the community, I will be sure to tell them what you really think of us. When someone tries to come into woman's space and I know their past, they are getting the boot. I am going to make it my business to "out" every person I can. Then we'll see how bad you all are. When I clock someone that thinks they pass so well, I am spreading it all over the place. They will not have a moments piece in my world. If you are str8, than stay in the str8 world 24/7.
I say again, be careful what you say, because it may come back to bite you. Who are you going to count on if you encounter discrimination in your life? Whether you "pass" or not, all it takes is one person outing you to unravel your life. If that happens, don't come crawling to the GLB community seeking help. You are on your own.
Who do you think has been picking up the tab for all of the cases you have won? Queers.
Who does everyone go running toward when a problem or resources are needed? Queers.
I say the hell with the whole lot of you if this is your attitude.
IMO, there is nothing worse than a group of people that do nothing to fight for their own rights, neither recognize or appreciate the struggles of others, and then turn around and kick them in the teeth to boot. During the civil rights struggles, many "uncle toms" worked against those working to expand civil rights protections to black people. But when those battles were won, they benefitted from them even though they had fought against them. You people are their equivalent.
You people crack me up. You think things are tough? %#&^! You know nothing of tough.
Twenty or thirty years ago the whole lot of you would have been toast.
You don't owe anyone anything? Fine. But when the going gets tough, and it will in this election year, don't forget who to ask for help. Look in the mirror.
