The problem for the TG community seems, in part at least, to stem from our failure to find a common ground to state our case.
On opposition, we face labels of sexual degeneracy. But I suggest, a greater source of opposition will come from men who fear being confronted by a TG women and not know.
The effect upon young men of dating a man, even one who might appear very feminine and even be physically feminine is known to most people. Most young men spend much of their time attempting to deny they are homosexual, that they are actually normal. This seems to be one of the more basic male emotional responses. There is certainly a lot of historical evidence for it.
My personal feeling is we need to concentrate our claim for acceptance on individualism. That each individual in society has a basic right to live free from dogma.
The claims of medical or biological justification are, at best, unproven. But more importantly, they further denigrate our image by suggesting we are somehow ill and not in control of our actions.
I appreciate the needs of Americans, who need to find a medical justification to obtain medical insurance coverage. But sadly, this is tending to make the situation worse for the community as a whole.
