*sigh* [rant]Trans-men are men. Trans-women are women. Our existence/validity is no longer open for debate. We have been, and always will be, amongst you and no amount of pearl clutching or gnashing of teeth is ever going to change that. We WILL NOT be silenced and shoved back into the closet just to make you feel comfortable.

Though it shouldn’t need to be stated, I am sure someone will probably take offense at the above statement. Rest assured that I am not pointing fingers at any Lizards (you have all been great). The “YOU” used above pertains to society as a whole.[/rant]
