Ashley Love has a new post entitled Martin Luther King, Jr. Did Not Believe in Segregation, Nor Do TS/IS Americans. It is a different take on how those born transsexual or intersex are actually being segregated from our correct gender by being forced under the transgender umbrella. Not being of color most of us could never have this insight but it is a brilliant analogy.
This is a must read for everyone.
Unfortunately even if transsexuals are removed from under the transgender umbrella it will not solve the major underlying problem the transsexual community has always had and that problem is close to unsolvable. What is that problem? The question simply becomes who is and who is not transsexual? It has been around since the 70s if not earlier.
