Still a long way to go to learn tolerance
Recent news of Mike Costello's support for the so called "Bathroom bill" and the public outcry that followed shows just what a long way our community still has to go, to learn and practice tolerance. Our fear of anybody who doesn't fit what our culture determines as "normal" is the main cause of this public outcry. We can dress it up as "fear for the safety of our children in public bathrooms," but this is truly about our own fear of those who are different and whom we don't understand. I draw this conclusion not from being transgender, but from teaching gender studies and medical anthropology at the college level.

The End of Transgender?
I just spoke at the West Coast version of the Out for Work Conference held at UCLA this weekend. OFW typically attracts college age students, corporate sponsors, and a variety of speakers to talk on a broad range of topics of relevance to LGBT young adults heading into the workforce for the first time. This is the fifth year I’ve participated and I continue to be impressed by the outlook of kids coming out of college these days.

Revisionism doesn’t change history. We all know who came up with the term transgender and why. During the 70s, no one outside of the crossdressing clubs had a clue, much less cared, what the term meant. Its mainstreaming occurred during the late 1980s to differentiate transsexuals from crossdressers…a few years later, the GLB added it with great success to their alphabet. This association did nothing but further the ignorant stereotype that male-to-female transsexuals are nothing more than homosexual men who have gone to the ultimate extreme.But that is really all beside the point. Why would a male-to-female transsexual who has transitioned, had GRS, and fully integrated into society want to refer to themselves in any way other than simply female…not to mention whatever motive might drive them to want to be lumped in with transgender?
It seems the current crop would be most ecstatic if they could have transgender tattooed across their forehead; it would save them from the constant disclosures they seem obligated to give to any and everyone who will suffer through the explanation. In the case of preops who are heterosexual and intend on dating men prior to GRS, of course, disclosure is a neccessity…Lord knows I’ve had to give my share of prior history...and then some. But for post ops…who needs to know? I’ve been post op for years and disclosed twice, both times to men I had dated for a while and of whom I felt were falling in love with me (one of them I’ve been with for two years now). Both of those times transsexual worked just fine.
Count me out on the transgender confusion and non-sense.
