Hate 101: Gay and Lesbian Transphobia – The Consequences
Posted by CA_Medicine_Woman • March 20, 2010

In part one of this series, I explored the reasons for writing this series to begin with, mainly the resurgence of transphobia amongst gays and lesbians, primarily by those who began that process decades ago.  I was also quite upset at the brutal murder of yet another human being, and the way that human being was treated by media and government officials, trivializing her death for no other reason than she was a transwoman.

In part two, I went into the historical pattern of transphobia by gays and lesbians, which is often more insidious and overt than what is seen amongst heterosexuals, save for the treatment of transgender persons by radical extremists within the gay and lesbian population.

HRC has done more to stall progress. Wonder how many GLs see this? If we lose, they lose.
