It seems I've plucked some transsexual separatist nerves by calling them the Transsexual Taliban or my longtime sobriquet I've aimed at them, the WWBT's
It stands for White Women Born Transsexual for those of you who haven't heard the WBT/HBS girls referred to in that way. It's also a reaction to the Transsexual Taliban denigrating and disrespecting pre-op and non-op transwomen.

She is rather vitriolic.
However, the overall message is one I can agree with.

The whole "learning to be a woman" thing I find really irritating. In particular because it suggests that in a world without gender roles, there would be no need to transition. Really I don't have gender dysphoria, I have sex dysphoria. My body is wrong, nothing more.
How is it that I completely fail at agreeing with either side?
To each his own, but there is merit to learning how women walk, talk, interact, etc. Just becuase a big, burly biker demands that they be accepted as the woman they are doesn't make it so.
FWIW, I keep telling my therapist its not a clothing thing, its a body thing. At this stage, dressing in female clothing doesn't make me feel any better about my situtation; if anything its exactly the opposite.
