The other day I used the phrase Transgender Inc in a Facebook exchange, and Ashley Love asked what I meant when I used that phrase after she had used the phrase Gay Inc.
I had to think about it a bit and decide what I meant to attack and who I didn't want to attack. And that is what it boils down to... There are many well meaning activists out there who have become trapped in some really oppressive dogma, who have embraced some very contradictory ideas that have some poorly thought out implications and, dare I say it some subtexts that could have extremely negative impact on not only post-SRS women with transsexual histories but upon all women.
