If peeps dont care if others clock them, they should leave planet earth & move to the moon or something like it.  At least over there, they will be caught up in their own little bubble all by themselves. ::)

Transphobic peeps are all around us.  They don't show their faces everyday but they're there.  It's in our power to educate them.  Alienating ourselves from them makes the situation worse.  You've got the power to at least try to teach them that trans peeps aren't the freaks most of them think we are and you don't have to out yourself to do it.

I'm not very good at being able to tell if someone is trans or not. I'm not even good at being able to tell if someone is gay or not. I like the whole "live and let live" theory and generally use non-gendered words to describe someone I don't know personally. As far as transphobic people go, I haven't run into very many for a long time. But if I hear comments being made about someone who's gender identity is unclear I try to make the comentator understand that there are many differences from person to person and that having a variated gender identity is not that uncommon.
