Stop Talking

Can gay men stop talking about transgender issues? Really, I mean really, because they almost always screw it up to say that "transgender people need to learn...", "transgender people need time...", and so on down the shit list of subtle, covert transphobic comments.

I listened to Huffington Post's commentary on the case before the Maine Supreme Court brought by the parents of a transgender student to access the girls bathroom after she was using it but then the school administrators said no but offered her a bad alternative.

The commentary between the two men, assuming one or both were gay (ok, just observing and they were LGB advocate, activists, or journalists), was just full of the same talk straights told LGB people decades ago when they fought for their right, "It's just not the time, be patient."

Yeah, right. The same shit LGB people have been telling transgender people for over a decade now fighting for their rights but not getting support from LGB people but being held to support LGB issues and people.

It's why transpeople created their own groups and organizations to fight for their own rights and forget support from LGB organizations unless they want to help fight for transgender people's rights and protections, which includes bathroom issues.

LGB people don't have the same bathroom issues as transgender people and especially children and teens. Yes, both get bullied but for different reasons, but still being LGB means you don't have to get into the bathroom you want than the one they demand you use.

Anyway, that's my rant against these two men who wasted my time any journalist or activist could say, but from the gay part of the Huffington Post, it's absurb on their part to assume and talk like they know. They don't, so stop talking as if you do.

Get a transgender activist to talk.
