I am rather vocal about how one does not separate the T from the LGBT.  I don't mince words about it.

However, that argument is a different one from what I'm going to suggest here.  I am upset.  I am angry.

[...]

Let's trans jack every single thread.

Seriously.  There is no subject that trans people are not affected by.  No posting that doesn't directly impact trans people's lives.  And anything that affects trans people's lives can be used to describe issues and concerns of importance to trans people.

Thank you Zythra for the post.

I liked the part where she says, " tell those people who think we are new, we are "just coming into our own"".

Hugs.

Roxy & Patty

I think you may have misinterpreted her statment.  She is not saying to tell people that we are just coming into our own.  She is saying

Quotetell those people who think we are new, we are "just coming into our own" or whatever else, that we are no longer going to just sit back and let them run things.

In other words, she is saying "tell people who think X that we are no longer going to sit back and let them run things, where X = "we are new, we are just coming into our own or whatever."

Point taken Glendagladwitch. I did for personal reasons, take that out of context to suit me. Sorry.

Roxy's sister says, "I want the old xxxx back." Well Roxy is not new, she is just coming into her own.

But that was not the correct or intended context. I liked it just the same. :)

Hope you have a fabulous day.
Hugs.
