The day has finally arrived when the trans community groans collectively: Susan Stanton's CNN myopic is on tonight. Get out the fifth (or your drug of choice) because this one is going to be worse than the usual; previews are clear about that. We'll get to see Stanton insult crossdressers and other trans people.

Sigh.

Mostly I would like for non-trans community to know that most trans people are nothing like Stanton: they don't reek of privilege, for starters. White, wealthy trans women who transition later in life have always gotten more than their share of the media spotlight, and that's unfortunate if only because it skews the picture of who trans people are, what they need, and what kinds of discrimination they deal with.
