Readers' Platform: Transgender rights and wrongs

San Francisco Chronicle

'James Short, 44, Chico

I am a transsexual woman. To all the gay and lesbian groups who stood up and made the LGBT mean something, thank you. I love you all. I totally do. To those gays who do not understand why we are included, no we are not all hetero; roughly half of us are lesbian. Straight people generally think that all gay drag queens are transsexual, by the way, and I get called "homosexual" all the time. So yeah, it's confusing. We are a small community but many of you are a part of us; does that make sense?
