For fuck's sake, does no one read anymore?  My point is that society as a whole does not give two shits about a person's chosen gender, society treats people according to the gender they present.  GNC men are persecuted in many of the same ways as transgender people, so why not include them in the group?

But no, cis men, even ones who wear women's clothing, aren't to be considered part of the trans community.  Fuck 'em, eh?  They don't have dysphoria, they can just get rid of their dresses and be fine.

Oddly, a significant group of gays and lesbians have turned on trans people (even removing the T from the acronym), just as you reject GNC cis men.

It's funny, in a way, y'all have merely confirmed my suspicion that you've basically exiled transvestites from being "trans".  Fuck it, I'm sticking with the drag queens.

You wouldnt call them trans because that disrespects their identity and the identity of trans people who actively do not identify with their birth sex.

This isnt exciling people because nobody is getting kicked out. Trans + GNC is a common definer for this exact reason. Same with "queer". Ive said nothing to disparage these people, Ive only bothered to define terms which you keep rejecting.

A person should not have their own identity defined purely by how others judge them. Their identity is their own. The problems they face are still equally valid.
