I'm Not An Auto Transmission

http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2010/11/im-not-auto-transmission.htmlOne of the things that the trans community is beyond sick of at the start of the second decade of the 21st century is being disrespected. Even though we expect it from our enemies, we're tired of it.
We are tired of being disrespected by our so called friends and allies in the gay and lesbian community We are tired of having cis people thinking they have carte blanche to speak for us, presume they know what is on our minds, what is transpiring in our lives, what we think is best for us politically, and what does and does not offend us.
We have told you for years now that '->-bleeped-<-' is an offensive word to us, yet you gay and straight cis people persist in using it, trying to 'reclaim' it, write articles that ask what's wrong with it, and get paid making disrespectful movies that trumpet the insulting word in the title.
