The Whiplash of History: What the Gay(-Only) Establishment Really Thinks of Trans Issues

http://endablog.wordpress.com/2010/08/22/the-whiplash-of-history-what-the-gay-only-establishment-really-thinks-of-trans-issues/ (http://endablog.wordpress.com/2010/08/22/the-whiplash-of-history-what-the-gay-only-establishment-really-thinks-of-trans-issues/)

As summed up in one of Phyllis Frye's Phyllabuster e-mails (specifically, an addendum to her e-mail of a Houston Chronk piece):

    Where is the same national support given for the L and G same-sex marriage struggles?  Has it remained nonexistent for over six weeks now because this Texas fight is insignificantly and merely a "->-bleeped-<-" same-sex marriage fight, so who nationally gives a ->-bleeped-<-? Then are we a National LGBT-inclusive community, but NOT when it comes to financing the "->-bleeped-<-" same-sex marriage fights? From here, it seems to me — still — that the national L and G groups and the big bucks L and G attitudes haven't really changed very much. FOLKS, IT IS TIME YOU FIGURED IT OUT THAT THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE FIGHT IS JUST AS MUCH A TRANSGENDER FIGHT AS IT IS A LESBIAN, GAY AND BISEXUAL FIGHT.

I'm not really sure what the point is that the poster is trying to make.
