I started writing a response on Sophia's blog and it grew into something I wanted to post here. I think it's very important that people with transsexual and intersex backgrounds develop a relationship that respects our differences and supports each other. Mostly it's the "transsexual" side needs to learn respect. And even more precisely, it's about putting a stop to the transgender politicians who reach through us transsexual people to colonize intersex lives. Someone could probably write about politically constructed and medically constructed identities here, but I think they are one and the same.
