So for my first actual contribution, I'm going to talk about something that's been on my mind of late. Some of it is informed by Austen's recent posts, but for the most part its informed by the direction I've come to feel that things must go in order to make headway in our quest for equality and equity.

And I think about this stuff for a really simple reason: its not really my fight.

I'll bet that right now a bunch of you are wondering what I mean by that. How can it not be my fight? I'm Trans - that means I'm discriminated against enough as it is, and that I'm seen as gay, even by gay folks. How can it be anything but my fight?
