This has been on my mind a lot the last few days. I recently encountered a group of transphobic crossdressers. They said the trans community has gotten too loud. Too visible. We celebrate too much. We expect everyone to share our values. We've pushed our agenda too far and created a backlash. Backlash that's ruining things for them. They say we should be happy for what we have and be quiet. I could go on. You've heard it all before.
I know most crossdressers aren't like that. But it saddens me that there are some CDs who want nothing to do with our community. Instead, they spread disinformation and support policies that make our lives harder. They fail to understand that the freedom they take for granted was fought for by the community they reject. They refuse to accept that the average cis-person who sees them on the street thinks they're trans.
Can't we all just coexist? End of sad rant.
