Transsexuality Is A Medical Condition, Not A Community Identifier

Amen, Cathy.
Transsexuality is a medical condition.  Transgender is a community identifier.   Granted it was coined by Virginia Prince who let's get real, hated on transwomen, but the word for political purposes does the trick in describing the vast array of gender variant humans.
Can we do a much better job in pointing out the differences between transsexuals, intersex people, crossdressers and genderqueer people?    Yes we can and should.    Do we need to do a better job of calling out the transwomen who hate on crossdressers and vice versa?  Damn straight we do..
But as I have said ad nauseum, our enemies aren't each other.
