NOTE FROM PAM: It was late into the day yesterday when I finally read the Ronald Gold piece at The Bilerico Project, and the resulting fallout was well under way. I waited for Autumn to compose her reactions for readers; I asked to share this space in her post to include my reaction (it's below the fold). I wanted our thoughts to be together to preserve and unite trans and ally reaction to this incident.
If a whole bunch of trans people tell you that your words are transphobic, they're right.

On so many levels, I dislike negatively commenting on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) inclusive publications and blogs that are generally friendly to trans people, but now have engaged in some sort of "anti-______ sentiment" -- especially antitrans sentiment. I also don't like commenting on LGBT organizations in a negative way -- I like to get in contact with the organization first, and see what their response will be to the something I find to be expressing "anti-______ sentiment."
