One of the reasons I am able to support things like inclusive ENDA and ending DADT is that I base that support on those issues being human rights issues.

I was on a mailing list for some12 years called "Trans-Theory".  When it functioned as a coffee house or existential bar it was a place to bounce ideas off and test some reasoning.  Too often it deteriorated in to a place of fighting where people tried to shove Bailey/Blanchard and all sorts of anti-transsexual crap down our throats as theory.

The list is dead because in the end looking for "a" trans-theory that is universal is like trying to have one term that fits all. MY life partner, Tina is right, "There is no such thing as trans-theory."
