(8,462 posts)1. So glad to see transgendered issues coming into visibility
here on DU, for example.
I've long thought we GLB's need to embrace the T's, because, while there are differences, we're all oppressed by the same rigidity of expected gender roles and behaviors. Thanks for posting William769!

We are all in this together. I stand by transgender just as much as Lesbian, Bisexuals & Gay's.
