As Antonia said in my last post's comments, "My dear, you certainly stepped into it."

It has come to my attention that my counterpoint article on trans exclusion/inclusion has made the rounds on e-mail lists, forums, and the desks of executives at a few national LGBT organizations. Just like in any game of telephone on the internet, some things were left out as the article made the rounds. Because of this, the piece was misconstrued as a piece of transphobic trash Im-Sorry.jpgtargeted at a vulnerable population out of spite. The post has gotten me called everything from an angry lesbian (or gay man, depending) to a transphobic straight girl posting to Bilerico.
