Sometimes Our 'Allies' Are Worse Than Our Enemies

Wow... Sometimes when it comes to the transphobia and stereotypes we transpeople have to battle, the worst offenders can be our GL allies who haven't taken the time to get their 101 on or don't care to do so.

No greater example of what I talking about is this Pam's House Blend post with a comment thread that Kat critiqued over at ENDAblog  in a post entitled "regurgitating every transphobic trope over the last 40 years".

Hope you haven't eaten lunch yet.

It's people like this that can and do cause problems when we transpeople are trying to plead our civil rights case to legislators.
