http://www.pamshouseblend.com/diary/12910/from-a-respected-law-journal-a-throwaway-line-of-antitrans-sentimentI don't want to get too worked up over this, but I also don't want to get not worked up enough to conpletely leave the commentary's "throw away" line alone.
What I "hear" as I read Ms. Colb's statement is her calling trans women self-deluded "fake women." I also "hear" her excising trans people from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights movement by identifying only gays and lesbians as our movement's civil rights activists. Professor Colb erases the LGBT civil rights contributions of trans people, such as Sylvia Rivera, Shannon Minter, Marisa Richmond, and Jillian Todd Weiss.
