Chris-- this piece is so wonderful. Thank you for writing it. There's another aspect of the whole anti-trans bullshit that annoys me, and it is this idea that there is a clear-cut demarcation between transgender people and homosexuals. As a rather butch lesbian I can say that noooo, it's very much a gray area, and it's the gender non-conformity that ticks people off more than the sexual orientation in most cases.
