Does Sandeen want cheese with this whine? So much for the "pure motives" of Sandeen's Get Equal actions. DADT was a gay and lesbian specific policy with zero trans content. It's repeal is thus also a pure gay and lesbian issue with no trans content. These whining "left behind" essays are nothing more than proof that those who talked about trans-jacking of LGB issues were right on the money because trans-activists HAVE to make everything, all the time, about the trans. This is why there is a backlash you know. If trans activists feel obligated to throw a wet blanket over a momentous moment such as this for gay and lesbians, it will be remembered. When a Monica Helms whines she wasn't invited as head of TAVA, which did not one damn thing to bring about the repeal of DADT, it will be properly seen as totally inappropriate, selfish and unwillingness to work on any issue of civil rights not directly trans related. Why should anyone ally with people like that?
Trans activist have take the position that it is right to hold anyone else's civil rights hostage. Want to change this? Denounce the current self appointed selfish, won't play with others trans spokes people.
