Your Oppressors Are Not Other Trans People

Ever since I transitioned back in 1994, it seems like at least once a decade we go into this cycle where we have post-op transsexuals screaming the nonsense that pre-ops, crossdressers and everyone else in the trans rainbow are 'oppressing' them.   

[...]

Bull feces.   It was your post-op sisters back in the 90's that suggested we adopt the 'transgender' label to describe this vast community to legislators because in the words of one of them, 'they didn't want to be stigmatized by being described with a medical condition label (transsexual) that our community didn't create.
