Questioning Transphobia

So I've followed some links around and I noticed that on some sites with an extensive list of feminist sites covering all sorts of issues, that trans bloggers are conspicuously absent. I mean, group blogs with trans bloggers are present, but I don't see any actual trans bloggers linked directly.

I've also noticed that often when Questioning Transphobia itself is blogrolled, that it is frequently categorized as LGBT, which is interesting because I've been blogging far more from a feminist perspective than LGBT rights perspective (although these frequently intersect), and I kind of wonder how this is decided. I mean, a blog managed by three trans women, initially devoted to deconstructing the persistent transphobia in second wave feminism, and I think more responsive and attentive to feminist issues in general vs. the mainstream LGBT movement and we're still categorized as outside feminism.
