Bil made an excellent comment regarding trans allies on one of Antonia's recent posts. I want to repost it it here because I think its an important sentiment in the LGBT community:

  "Even in a previous post from this week on a trans issue, someone said in the comments that I should stop posting on trans issues. From the comment, I assume that they're trans. When I asked for a trans 101 on the site, I got knocked for not "reading a book." If I mess something up, I get bitched at for not knowing all of Trans 101.
