I don't entirely get it, either. I mean, I get how some people want, so badly, to be able to play the sympathy card that they're going to turn everything into their victimization, but it isn't exactly like transsexuals don't already have plenty of real issues to complain about without creating issues of our own. I mean, has anyone here ever seen Boys Don't Cry? That's a real issue, not this little piddly shit.
But, then, I get that some people find the word offensive so I simply don't use the word except around people who I'm fairly confident are going to be laid back enough that they won't have a stroke over it.
