A reader writes: "How could one change the current climate for gay trans men in the gay male community?"
My answer: One mind at a time.
This is a continuation of last week's Ask Matt Monday, which dealt with trans men and lesbian communities. And this is a tough one, because I think there is a different dynamic in gay male communities.
When I first started my transition, I identified as a gay man, which did not go over well with one population – gay men.
