One of the proposals being put forth for the new DSM would refiy a suggestion I made. It would keep GID for those seeking SRS and would consider SRS as curing GID.
So much of the Transgender Borg rhetoric is just generally oppressive.
I always wonder how I can be called a separatist when I never considered myself transgender.
I came up with post-transsexual because, quite honestly I had sex change surgery so long ago that it is like when I had my tonsils out.
I'm tired of post-transsexual people being denied our own language and the right to describe our own lives without some colonial master telling us we are wrong.
