Perhaps We Should Just Be Quiet And Listen To Trans People

http://www.womanist-musings.com/2010/07/perhaps-we-should-just-be-quiet-and.html

I am a member of a yahoo group that sends me daily e-mail about the trans community.  I asked to be allowed to follow this group because I felt that I needed more information to help me unpack my cis privilege.  Today they sent me an article from The Daily Fail otherwise known as "The Daily Mail," regarding Warren Beatty's disappointment with his daughters decision to change her gender.

The article really seemed geared towards presenting the idea that Beatty should accept his child as he his. The author even correctly gendered Stephen throughout the article.  I thought for once the Daily Fail had published a success, that is until I read the following:
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
